Lombok

What a wonderful relaxing time we had. Ate too much, lazed too much, read and slept. It was idyllic and obviously what we needed after our very hectic start to school this year.
Lombok is like a less developed Bali. Lovely beaches, green countryside and of course people trying to sell you something. Hard battering was called for – David’s forte, not mine. I just have to say on the quiet yes I really want that or doesn’t matter. So away we come with a couple more sarongs, a couple of tops for me, a dress (yes don’t hold your breath I have a dress), tee-shirts for David and a wooden bowl. Oops forgot a carved wooden frog that you scrape that makes a noise like a croak.
Our accommodation was superb – right on the beach with thatched roofed shelters to sit under as we admired the view or solved the world’s problems. Only ventured out for walks to the local shops and a one day trip to pottery and weaving places and a traditional Asasak village – so very laid back.
