Lombok - Part 2 (Senggigi)

The Senggigi region is the main tourist destination on the island of Lombok in Indonesia. The main town is Senggigi itself, and the whole area is well known for its beautiful west facing beaches. Journey from Lombok International Airport will take between 60-80minutes and cost about Rp180,000(~US18) on a metered taxi.



As usual, renting a motorbike is easy to explore around. Rental is only Rp50,000 (about 5USD) per day. Petrol is about Rp8,000 per Litre.


This warung (small restaurant) gives out price tag to each dish you ordered. So when you pay, just bring all to the counter. Kind of efficient and easy ?? :-)

Lombok - Part 1 (Fishing Village)

Lombok is an island in West Nusa Tenggara (Nusa Tenggara Barat or NTB) province, Indonesia. It forms part of the chain of the Lesser Sunda Islands, with the Lombok Strait separating it from Bali to the west and the Alas Strait between it and Sumbawa to the east.

While in Lombok, (as usual) I made a trip to interesting places where I can capture some photos of the locals, in this case the fishing village in Ampenan - Kampung Melayu and Kampung Bugis (Kampung means village in local language).




The boys caught some hermit crabs and they were so excited to have a race... pretty interesting indeed...
