Pete and I decided to take the fast boat to the Gili’s as opposed to the very very slow boat (1.5 hrs vs. 9 hrs). The Gili Cat car picked us up in the morning and took us to Padang Bai, the main harbor on the west coast of
Once we were settled in the room, we scoped out a few dive shops (there are about 10 on the small island) and went with Blue Marlin Dive shop. All dive prices are fixed on the island ($38/dive) so since Steph is bonkers for diving (aka she thinks she is a mermaid) we immediately signed up for the morning and afternoon dives the next day. By now it was around sunset and we decided to walk around the entire island which only took 1.5 hrs. For dinner we ate bbq at the Beach House, which because of Steph’s affinity for underwater exploration and life forms, was her last seafood meal for life. After dinner we had a drink and checked out the beach huts where you can watch movies. Pete loved these because they are super relaxing, free (you just have to buy a drink or popcorn), and have a huge movie selection (Pete wants one in his house). We watched 7 pounds…really good for those who haven’t seen it (Steph cried).
