Some of the junior children at Lake Tekapo School, in the South Island of New Zealand, have sent their Flat Stanley’s on an adventure to Indonesia. Their class is learning about different cultures and their Stanleys are going to help out by sharing their experiences in Indonesia and maybe other destinations.

Gili Trawangan, Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia



Leaving Amed

From Amed the Stanleys and I took a fast boat to Gili Trawangan. There are three islands off the coast of Lombok in West Nusa Tenggara. Gili translates to small island in Sasak. Gili Trawangan is the largest and busiest of the three islands. It only takes 2 hours to walk around the island.
It is a lot quieter than Bali though because there are no cars or motorbikes. They do have lots of horses and carts and bicycles instead. A few of the locals have electric scooters which are very quiet.

Godley Class from Lake Tekapo School, had a vote and decided on some good places for me to take the Stanleys.

There are lots of barbecues along the beach for cooking fish and sate.

There are lots of chickens and cats walking around the streets.
