We encountered fishing boats and nets on the way to Gili Air. The fishermen point with an oar where their net is not where they want you to go all very confusing! Passed a massive 10000 ft volcano which we hoped was dormant! Saw a whale which dived under the boat bit scarry. This island is charmingly simple with beautiful azure waters. They cater to the tourist trade here. David, Jim and Ruth went ashore for breakfast and enjoyed the local cuisine. We took a horse and cart trip around the island. Took all of half an hour!!Also a grear internet cafe in the open air with constant drinks served and eastern music playing in the background. Left at 6 in the morning to catch the tide and had to navigate a large reef on the way out.
