| Summary | I have visited Bali island almost every two years. I heard the news of volcanic eruptions in Mt. Agung when I was plannig to visit Bali island. I had wanted to stay both of Bali and Lombok island, so I decided to go Lombok island in this time. However to visit Lombok, it means to stay Gili islands. Gili islands has three islands, I chose Gili Trawangan island. I staied in Senggigi on the way to and from Gili Trawangan. I staied Gili Trawangaan for 5 nights, went to diving 3 days and went around two other Gili island of Gili Air and Gili Meno. I always choose the Singapore Airlines to visit to Indonasia. Then I taransited in Singapore and took Silk Air (Code share flight) . I had enough time to go around Singapore City on the waya back. |

| To Senggigi | Departure the Kansai airport at midnight, Arrival the Singapore airport
at early morning. Arrival the Lombok airport by Silk Air and Immigration. I don't have asked at pasport control in every countries last few years. I always showed them my passport then they took fingerprint and my face's phot without asking. It's been a while since I asked some question at Immigration( Checking of return flight and where to stay). I saw that several persons picked up thir smart phones at passport control at the back queue. I got on the local bus bound for Senggigi via Mataram at the airport. All passenger except me were local people and they got off in Mataram. So only me in the bus, driver asked me where I wanted to got off. Then I didn't need to walk to the hotel. (IDR40K) It was early afternoon when I checked in. I went around the beach near by, as that day was Sunday many local people there. I was shortcharged IDR on the exchange JPY into IDR, but I pointed out the lack and got the difference. As weakened IDR, it was good rate. *** IDR(Indonasia Rupiah) has too many digits, so displayed by "K" and said by unit of one thousand. *** |
