Chapter 13: Bali- Part 3: Lombok


Our next stop was Kuta in Lombok, a much bigger island than Gili Ail and much busier. Again, hotels, warungs (traditional Indonesian restaurants), cafes and shops built out of not much line the beach in Kuta. We rented scooters to go and explore and were not disappointed with our findings. Like many other novices, we stopped at the first beach we found on our way to … we weren’t set where we wanted to go, just ride and see where it takes us. Very pretty spot but the beach was littered with all sorts of rubbish and it was actually quite unpleasant to swim there so we moved on, rode through villages, along the most varied shades of greens of the hills, rice paddies, slowing down for the herds of cows to arrive at an almost private beach at Selong Belanak, South Lombok. What a beauty! No need to go any further. Two days of relaxation on a postcard! And yes, the cows go to the beach too! :)
