Shilling for the Gilis

Shilling for the Gilis

If you are a foreign tourist visiting Indonesia or an
expatriate who works and lives in this country, it would be a
loss if you did not take advantage of the opportunity to come to
Gili Indah, a village much like an earthly paradise which
consists of three beautiful islands: Gili Air, Gili Meno and Gili
Trawangan. You can reach the islands by boat from Benoa, Bali. It
is about a three-hour trip from Benoa, and for the sake of your
convenience you are urged to make inquiries at the nearest travel
bureau to get information about the schedule.

The three islands are a heaven for those whose hobbies are
swimming, diving, snorkeling or surfing. Each of the islands has
fantastic sandy beaches, forming white long carpets that are very
convenient for sunbathing.

If you are looking for a suntan, the three islands are a
paradise, and you can enjoy amazing sunrises and sunsets without
being disturbed by vendors.

During the evening on the islands, you can enjoy discotheques,
but they are different from discotheques that you have possibly
seen in Bali. In this paradise, there are no markets, peddlers,
beggars, thieves, hoodlums, mobsters, criminals, pickpockets,
cheaters, deceivers, whores or pimps, and you will not find a cop
over there because of the tradition of the locals of protecting
and defending you from any crime. I am aware that you will not
believe what I have written, that is why I suggest you see for
yourself by visiting these unique and beautiful islands.
