Our journey begins everyday.

Everyday brings a new adventure. We don't have to look for it, we only have to look.

Gilli Air (Aug. 27)



The Gilis are three small islands off the coast of Lombok, each having their own characteristics.  We chose the smallest one, Gili Air.  Not paradise but not far.  There are no motorized vehicles (little horse drawn buggies do the heavy transportation), the locals are laid back, the snorkeling is great (sea turtles included) and the beach is awesome.  We got stuck in a time warp there and almost NEVER left.

Yes, we do like watching sunsets. They are amazing on the Gillis.


We thought that there boat building  was amazing.








Since we had just got certified for diving we decided to go for one. We saw 3 turtles,  a cuttlefish, Nemo, a rockfish and a pufferfish.

Marek and I decided to liberate a baby turtle on gili Meno.Its part of a turtle rehabilitation program.
