On our last day, we took a Cidomo(horse drawn carriage) from the hotel into town.
It started off smooth on the street. Then, we took a shortcut through a very bumpy, hilly dirt road.
We then got back on the road with all the daily traffic including motor bikes, large trucks....
.....and buses.
Whitney wanted to "drive" so she sat up front after a bit.
Our first stop was a local market with many fruits, veggies and meats for sale.
The second stop was to a "village" where 33 families live together.
The girls learned how to use coconut palms to make segments of a thatched roof.
These woman were making coconut oil.
One of the many rice paddy fields we saw in Lombok.
Seeing the local village was very interesting. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming. The whole morning, I felt like we could have been in an episode of The Amazing Race.....Cidomo ride, navigating through a local produce market and learning how to use coconuts for roofs and oil.
We got back to the hotel right before lunch. We continued with our lunches of pizza by the pool.
Another treat during afternoon tea.
The last swim before our final dinner on the island.
We had some time to waste before our flight home:
We had a great time swimming and exploring Lombok.
Life is Good when G and G can have an Asian Adventure with us!
