Day 6:
Next stop? LOMBOK! It's been 8 years since i've seen my older brother, Adam, and i'm so excited to see him and meet his wife and son. The ferry ride to Lombok from Padang Bai port in Bali only cost Rp. 40.000 ($3.05), but was almost a 5 hour trip. Pretty worth it if you ask me. We ended staying at the top deck of the boat because we had no idea on the second level there was a room with air conditioning and snacks (bummer). It was a beautiful ride though. I saw some whales and passing all of the different islands was an amazing experience. After we arrived in Lembar port we decided to eat after all of these taxi drivers kept pestering us to let them give us a ride to where we needed to go. We got through it though. We waited a little bit longer and I finally got to see my brother and his wife. They picked us up with two motorcycles and riding through Lombok to his house it was already sunset and the amount of greenery there is here is unbelievable. It was like being in a movie. There were also barely anyone on the roads. I got to meet my new nephew, Reynand. He's only 9 months old and there's another one along the way coming this fall so i'm excited. After catching up they took us to our hotel and I decided to go with my brother and his wife to celebrate the night before Lebaran. We had some opor ayam and and krupuk. yum. We were heading back to the hotel and got stuck in the parade for Lebaran and it was so crowded. We couldn't move, but the floats were so beautiful to look at. It was amazing catching up and planning out our day for the next day.

Day 7:
It was another beautiful day here in Lombok. I went to my brother's wife's family celebration for the first day of Lebaran and had some amazing food and pastries. I got to play with Reynand for a while and we sang songs and made him laugh. After the party we planned out trip to Gili Trawangan and then picked up Carrie to head to Senggigi Beach. We ended up going to Kila Beach Resort. It has a beautiful design of huts along the beach with a nice restaurant right in front of the ocean. We had some food and drinks and then went swimming for a bit. I cut my foot on some coral, but I was fine. We watched the sunset and afterwards we went to Happy Cafe to watch a live performance and to have some great food. I had sushi and they actually had a Philadelphia roll. It was a great night to end our stay in Lombok.
