Day 2 at Gili Trawangan: Between Pub, Snorkeling and Turtle

After returning the bike, we took a bath and have a dinner. In the night, Gili Trawangan was really crowded. There were many pubs and resto which was mostly closed in the afternoon, but lively in the night.

The silent street was changed into crowded and full of music. My ears heard so many musics, from rock, house music, until reggae. However, when adzan Maghrib and Isya, the music stopped a little while to honor it. After it was finished, they started again.

I was really curious, so that we walked around. Can you imagine a girl wear hijab was in the middle of beach party? So strange yet sad. I felt like I was not in Indonesia because many foreigners than Indonesian. I knew I did not belong there. I was also afraid that they will took our beautiful island.

Hemm, I was so tired and thought too much. Therefore after going around, we decided to come back to our homestay. I was so sleepy. My local friend reminded us to wake up early, so that we can start snorkeling earlier. Wow, I can not wait.

I slept like a baby. I always had a good sleep in a beach. That was why I wanted to have a house near beach someday.

Eventhough we was late for sunrise, we were ready to snorkel. It was my first time, so I was a little bit nervous. We rented the snorkel equipment and went to beach. I thought we should take a ship first, but we did not need to.

We can snorkel near the beach. Wow, cool! The crowded street last night was changed into quiet again. And I loved it. I love quiet beach. Maybe they still slept after party. Therefore, not many people snorkel in the beach. Perfect!

We can enjoy the beach as we want. In here, I learned how to snorkel for the first time. Even it was not easy for the beginning, but finally I can enjoyed it. Read the full experinced in my snorkeling experince.

We swam, laughed, and chatted just liked owned the beach. Two of my friends did not join in the water, so they took pictures. Felt like we have our own photographers to document our holiday. Hahaha.

After we finished, we cleaned ourselves. Near the snorkel rented area, there was a turtle conservatory. We saw many little turtles swam around. They were so cute, swam with their tiny feet. The baby turtles were in a box like an aquarium, but with little water. They were waiting to grow big, so that they can survived in the sea.

I learned that we can not touch the turtle as we want, because it can hurt them. I knew that they were almost extinct, so we should take care of them. Oke, next time I see turtle, I will be more careful.

We can not stay longer because we should prepared to leave Gili Trawangan. It was really hard, but we should continue our trip. When we walked to the mini harbour, I saw a shop with my name on it. I hope it was a sign that I will comeback again later.

See you again Gili Trawangan. Soon.
