The blue hour

More beauty from the beaches of Gili Air. I hope you've enjoyed this time in Indonesia - both Bali and Gili. Next week we'll move on Cambodia.

More skies can be found at Skywatch. Photo taken in December 2016.

Island living

Breakfasting right on the beach is not such a bad way to start the day! You an follow it up with a sunbath or a snorkel. Photo taken in December 2016.

Respekt

Indonesia is a Muslim majority country (except Bali), so on Gili Air there were signs everywhere warning not to walk through the village in your swimsuit. I understand the message, but the wording in German is pretty funny. It's Wednesday again, you'll find more signs here. Photo taken in December 2916.

Pastel hues

The sunsets were a modest, pastel affair in Gili Air. The island in the distance is Lombok. Photo taken in December 2016.

Getting around in Gili

After seeing all the sights Bali had to offer, it was time for some sun and sand. We took the fast boat over to Gili Air. It's a tiny island paradise, just 1.73 square kilometers! These mule-drawn carts were a popular way to get from the boat landing to your hotel as cars and motorized vehicles are not allowed on the island.

Here's a look at one in the flesh! Most hotels also offered bicycles to their guests. In about 10 - 20 minutes, you can cover the whole island. It's Monday again and more murals can be found here. Photos taken in December 2016.
