Hired a bike each after snorkeling this afternoon. So after a swim, we headed out to circumnavigate Gili Air by bike. We decided to go clockwise so that we would finish on the north western coast where we could have a fruit juice while watching the sun set over Bali. We also took a pack of cards with us and when ever we felt thirsty stopped for a juice and a game of cards. Bec found a card game perfect for 3 people which we all love - black maria.
The first part of our plan went well and by the the time we got close to the north eastern coast, we'd had 3 juices at 3 different places along the way - banana (bec), papaya & lime (me), and coconut, pineapple & banana (Kate). The sun was setting when we headed off again to find somewhere to eat dinner when suddenly the dirt track around the island became a deep sandy track and bike riding became impossible. Walking the bikes through sand was exhausting and we became so hot & bothered and then to boot, the cloud cover was so thick, there wasn't going to be a sunset worth sitting down for, so we pushed on and went straight back to Sejuk's to offload the bikes and cool down.
We then headed back out for dinner by foot and found somewhere that made the best coconut curry. It was easily the best meal i've had on Gili Air so far.
