| Goodbye Gili Trawangan The boat trip from Gili Trawangan to Gili Air took about 30 to 40 minutes, as we stopped at Gili Meno to drop people off. The Stanleys and I traveled on a boat the same as the one above. 
|
 |
| Gili Air doesn't have any motorised vehicles, just like Gili T. These horses are waiting for some passengers. It costs 100,000IRD for a ride. |
 |
| Some local children playing on a paddle board. |
 |
| The Gili Air harbour is full of fishing, diving and passenger boats. |
 |
| I hired a see-through plastic canoe. I left the Stanleys at home so they didn't get wet. |
I could see fish swimming under the canoe. Most of the coral is dead so there isn't really any colour except for the fish. I have been told that fishermen used dynamite to catch fish and this is one of the reasons the coral has been destroyed. Maybe you can find out some more information about it. I wonder where the best place to look would be?

 |
| There were piles of dried fish outside the door and they smelt like stinky old socks. |

 |
| All sorts of things are carted in the horse carts. I saw rubbish, dirt and gravel, furniture and lots of people. |
 |
| Children biking to school. |
School in the Gili Islands starts at 8am and finishes at 12pm. All of the children wear uniforms.

The children were quite concerned about the dynamite situation. So we are going to do some research on it.
ReplyDeleteI would love to hear about what they find out.
