gili trawangan

after my most exhilarating diving experience to date (it was my 6th dive!!) in the waters near Padang Bai, where I spotted several sharks, a tiger ray and an assortment of fish in multifarious shapes and colors, we boarded a ferry to the island of Gili Trawangan, near Lombok. a four hour ride into a glorious sunset. the island is inhabited by warm souls, cats with uniquely short tails and donkeys which provide the transportation. sooji and I met many people from distant lands, and together we shared this lucid dream.
