PUPPY DOG TALES FROM BALI!

Another adventure for the family Gill and the Epstones........ after a huge amount of research done by Darling Robert, we decided to go to the Gili Islands. Namely Gili Meno! We knew it was the smallest island and were told there was only one hotel and one restaurant, and cold water showers etc. This is not true, there are a few restaurants, most of the hotels have gone due to the economy, the bombs, and because it is ghastly! Sorry, we stayed at Mallias Child Hotel. It was dirty, damp and virtually uninhabitable! The barbeque was horrid......... so with great joy, we chartered a glass bottom boat and went over to Gili Trawangan): A different world! We stayed at the Villa Ombak, clean, nice people, clean rooms and at last no rain. On Gili Meno it rained the WHOLE time, I had to buy a raincoat and it was freezing. Here the sun shone and all was well with the world.
We had great food at Scallywags, lunch and a barbeque dinner and left the next day for Bali. Oh and the youngest Gill member, Yoyo learned to swim without wings!!

Our travel agent really got it wrong in terms of travel time. We took a car from Seminyak to Dempasar Airport. The flight too 30 mins. We were collected by Harry who whisked us to the port, we jumped on our boat which took about 20mins to Bali Meno. So fom door to door around 3 hours and it was the cheapest way to go.

Good to be home in Seminyak:) More to come.............
