My holiday was a few years ago. the first time I went to a Bali, beautiful island. I was amazed with Bali's view and atmosphere. Really beautiful place, that's why many foreign tourist want to go there. The people is friendly to tourist, I love them. You know, in Bali not only has beautiful place, but they also have unique culture. On every street corner, there are sets of offerings every morning and they put a cloth on old trees. I don't know why, perhaps because they believe, in every place there is a guard (ghost). Even you don't believe a ghost it doesn't mean you may for not following their rule, because there are many incidents that take casualties.
Few days later, I went to Lombok. Really beautiful place,
unique tropical escapes! Lombok has small islands and perfect coral islands; Gili Trawangan, Gili Meno and Gili Air. Fringed with white sands and swaying palm trees, lay in the sparkling ocean just off the north-west coast of Lombok. The Gilis has a predicate "clean blue waters", you can see the sea from the boat.
Every year the Gilis attract tens of thousands of visitors from around the world for their waters, great diving and snorkeling opportunities, and laid-back charm.
The word Gili actually means “small island”, and so these islands have come to be known as “The Gilis” by travelers. The Gilis are Lombok’s most popular islands and are consistently rated as top SEA island destinations by travelers and travel publications.
Activities include riding bikes, horse riding, massage and beauty treatments, glass bottom boat trips and island hopping, live-aboard dive trips and cruises to nearby islands, fishing, sailing, surfing and all kinds of water-based activities.
The islands provide ample opportunities for visitors to swim, relax, sunbathe, explore, snorkel or scuba dive with the many internationally accredited dive operators based in Lombok. I was snorkeling there, that's my first experience.
Snorkeling is easy in the calm waters directly off the beaches, with plenty of colorful fish to see. At greater depths and at specific dive locations around the three islands, the pristine waters are home to an abundant variety of corals, aquatic life and thousands of species of tropical fish.
Snorkeling impressive array of sea life can be seen, including green and turtles, morays, barracuda, reef sharks, occasionally leopard sharks and manta rays, and much more.
These are my story, I hope the reader like my story and want to visit Bali and Lombok.
