my travel partner Acap , old friend since primary school

    we stayed at Mosaic Gili. I really likes this place . comfortable room.
    a bit far from the main beach in Gili Trawangan ( but still walking distance ) ,
    but that's a good thing because the merging pubs at the beach makes it too
    crowded and noisy.



   open air bathroom.









    most people will rent bicycle to travel in Gili.
    costs Rs50k @ RM15 per day


    Lombok people selling  their land to outsiders.
   not a good thing i guess




  





   Pandawa beach on the other side of the island.
   this side of the island faces Bali ( to the west ) , hence a popular place
   to enjoy sunset



    the famous swing at the beach


   it gets crowded during sunset  , and we need to queue to take photos here



   mount Bali across the sea












  Gili Trawangan

backpacking to Lombok
Nusa Tenggara , Indonesia
23rd-25th  May 2017

    the two places that I stayed in Langkawi were located a walking distance away
    from Langkawi Underwater World in Pantai Cenang , Langkawi

    the first day in Langkawi , me and my hiking mates stayed at Nor Villa  ,
    a homestay a walking distance away to the left side of Underwaterworld Langkawi.
    the villa is a bit hidden from passer-by's sight  , as the small shops in front of it
    blocks the view to the actual size of the villa.
   
    a decent-sized homestay , can easily fit 10-15 pax



  

    the 3rd day in Langkawi , I had to look for room for myself to stay in Pantai Cenang
    as most of my hiking mates only planned to stay in Langkawi for 2 days.
