We went on a weeklong trip to Bali's neighboring island of Lombok and the small Gili Islands off the coast of Lombok... I am not really in the mood to write a lot of text so here just some pics with a few comments.
The cheapest place to stay on Gili Trawangan (which is a very expensive island by Indonesian standards)
There is no police on the Gili Islands so you can easily buy all kinds of drugs.
Beach in Senggigi, the prime tourist destination on Lombok. We found that it was not the nicest place on the island though.
Just north of Senggigi...
A waterfall at the base of Gunung Rijani, a 3700m volcano that dominates Lombok island.
Gunung Rijani at sunset
The bays and beaches around Kuta in the south of Lombok(which has very few things in common with the tourist trap Kuta on Bali) are straight out fantastic. In this bay we were all by ourselves, except for two local kids who ran after us all the time. So awesome! This is probably going to develop into a major tourist hotspot once the international airport on Lombok that is under construction right now is finished.
View over Kuta Beach
Fantastic and uncrowded waves can be found everywhere around Kuta. I might go back and bring my board one day...
More great beaches...
... with spectacular sunsets.
