I've kept traveling south since I started my trip in Bangkok, going through Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia. Now it's time to explore the north. My flight to Chiang Mai left late in the evening, with a layover in Bangkok.

I spent the day in Nusa Penida, hitting some of the highlights of the island. Pro tip: If you have a group of 4 or 5, consider getting a car + private driver instead of an organized tour. Most of the times it'll be cheaper and gives you the flexibility of picking what you want to see.

Lembongan still has that authentic Indonesian island vibe. It isn't flooded with tourists, at least in comparison to Bali. Today we rented bicycles 🚲 and rode them around Lembongan and Ceningan (a small neighbor island connected by a bridge).

I said goodbye to Gili T and hopped to my next Indonesian island: Nusa Lembongan. Smaller and less crowded than Nusa Penida, Lembongan has lots to offer. I'll be exploring this island for the next couple of days.

There are no motorized vehicles in the Gili islands. Instead, all transportation is done with bicycles or carts pulled by horses, which adds to the magic of the island. Today I finished my Advanced Diving course and celebrated my new certification!

My diving instructor warned me that once I started diving, I wouldn't be able to stop. He was right. Today and tomorrow I'll be working on my Advanced Diving certification. I was blown away by the visibility of the water and fauna of the Gilis!

If you ever dreamed of an idyllic tropical island, you were most likely dreaming of the Gili islands. Gili Trawangan is the "biggest" of the 3 Gilis, and you can walk around it in less than 2 hours. The island is well known for diving, beautiful beaches, and partying. I plan to do all of those things.
