WALK ROUND GILLI TRAWANGAN

We thought we go for a walk along the beach to the turtle sanctuary, then i suggested we walk round the island. Someone remind me why? So our 30 minute stroll turned into a 3 hours dash for shade as the black sand was burning our feet, cause of course we didn't take any flip flops with us. We stopped numerous amounts of times talking to people on bicycles asking how long it takes to get round the island...they said a good 2 hours walking. We were under the impression it took around 45 minutes to an hour max.

So after running for bits of cool shade as we could no longer walk along the beach, we finally met a French couple with two pairs of flip flops and some Jesus sandals and well you can only imagine what happened next. To their surprise we asked if we could borrow the two pairs of flip flops and sandals obviously Phoebe and i got the short straw and were left with the flip flips, at the time not realising how HARD it is to walk in them. Which meant we had to walk backwards...which was SO funny at the start not 30 minutes in...this then continued for about 45 minutes further round the island. All while during this time Olivia was in her room grooming her hair extensions not knowing where we were.

So finally i hailed down a working horse and cart and asked them to take us back to the beach, i sat up front like a jockey and the others on a plank of wood on the back cart. It was a walk i will never forget and memory which will always put a smile on my face. It was defiantly an interesting walk round Gilli.
