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! :)
