Gili Trawangan, my Happy Place!

Unfortunately my camera broke when I was in Jakarta, so I don't have any pictures from there. Although it wasn't too much of a disaster, since I didn't care much for the city anyway. It is big and hectic and crowded, with traffic jams that turns a five minutes walk to a half an hour car ride because there are no side walks. Luckily me and Em were staying with some awesome people, Tammy and Ariya, who took us around and made sure we had a good time. Longing fore some sandy beaches and clear blue seas to dive into I made my way to Gili Trawangan, which turned out to be the template from which tropical paradises are made from!

Cultural clash?

About to set up my gear before a dive :)

Kiana, Theis, Mike and me on our way to a restaurant a rainy night.

Turns out my new camera takes awesome pictures even under water! Unfortunately the underwater housing is as expensive as the camera itself, but I got to borrow one from Corina, my instructor!

Lion fish lurking under some corals!

James being silly. As usual.

I found Nemo!

See the shark?

"What are you looking at? Never seen a clownfish before?"

Very pleased with the new camera, it takes really nice pictures right?
