Skip Lombok is my heartfelt advise. There's nothing there but sarky Sasaks and Muslim women all closed up to the top and lots and lots of "no beer". The only upside I could find when over there 2 months ago was the great and deserted roads up north - great for motorbiking! The south is a "would like to be" Bali but has a long, long, long way to go before then. Maybe it looks better from 10,000 meters up? Oh and Ranky you're more "peculiar" than "funny" IMHO but keep on keeping on...

I hope your trip is memorable and that you return to enjoy again and again. Try to fit in a side-trip to Lombok next time. It's a bit different there. And different vegetation and animals, because of the Wallace Line. You can fly there and back for a few bucks, and see the airborne sights along the way.

I never ever thought I would say this but I agree with you. If it was just me I would only stay here a couple of days. We did do Candi Dasa for 3 days 1 with Markit. Next time we will do more like Lombok etc. Maybe even the North if you promise to be back in Darwin.

I find the locals not friendly on that island and they seem to be more happy to screw the bules , sengigi reminded me of a wild west town "where the gold ran out " all that was missing was the "tumbleweeds", ya the beaches and water are clean compared to bali, not a place to get a good kip mosques on every corner.

No it was on the main drag just on the left-hand side at the bottom of the hill going out of town with a pool table.

Think I will give Lombok a miss in the future.

The only attraction I found on Sengigi was a small bar with ice cold Bintang on tap! The boss looked after the cellar himself and the beer was probably the best I've had in Indonesia. Can't remember the name (funny, can't remember much of anything after about 9pm) otherwise I'd "big" him up.

was the bar "the office" near the sea ? that was the only decent place i found
