Hi guys

After a few days of illness (boo), we had the most amazing day today, snorkelling around Gili Air, Meno and Trawangan from a glass-bottomed boat! The trip cost the equivalent of eight British pounds and comprised of four amazing snorkel sites, and lunch in a restaurant on Gili Air. We saw some incredible coral, beautiful tropical fish and, on our first site, we were lucky enough to spot a turtle swimming below us. It needed to come up for air so we managed to swim alongside it for a short time – it was absolutely fantastic! Really gutted that we didn’t have an underwater camera, but we’ll definitely never forget what we saw!

Making some plans to visit Lombok island next, and hopefully do some surfing on the amazing waves there! Currently though, we’re enjoying the fantastic atmosphere here on Gili T, and have made some really good friends. So glad that we made the effort to come, as it really is a paradise island!

Miss you all lots, and hope you’re all enjoying our Olympic successes – we’re catching snippets here and it looks awesome!
