Lombokke!

Okay, so we're not actually on Lombok anymore, rather on one of the Gili Islands off Lombok's northwest coast, but after the Sprinboks' demolition of the poms last night I had to throw that title in!

Wends and I arrived here on Gili Trawangan yesterday morning. Its a gorgeous little island with beautiful white sandy beaches and coral reefs packed with turtles (my first snorkelling sortie found three). There are also a plethora of bars and cafes on the beach so it should be a blast. True to my style I checked us in to a very good value for money bungalow, recommended by a mate, right on the sand - but it is a little away from the action. This is not Woozle's style. As of 12 noon today we will be breaking the budget and staying at a great spot in the thick of things (with a pool!). I guess I should live it up a little in my last 2 weeks.

And I was in the front row of one of the pubs last night at 3am, waving my flag, to watch the Boks. How satisfying...
