Three perfect coral islands with white sandy beaches and palm rest in the shimmering ocean just northwest of the island of Lombok: Gili Trawangan, Gili Meno and Gili Air. For many years, Gili has attracted visitors from around the world for its crystal clear waters full of fish, great opportunities for good diving and snorkeling and a relaxed charm. You are not allowed to circulate cars or motorcycles, horse carts only they nicknamed “the Ferraris of Gili, is the only form of transport with cycling and walking. Gili Trawangan, the largest island and lively, with bars offer live music performances every night. Gili Meno is quieter and also the most expensive island. Gili Air is the disconnection, to get away fully in paradise.

From any beach you can swim out to make good great opportunities for good diving snorkel but for those who want to try the best sites on the three islands, there is a boat tour of half a day in which at 60,000 rupiah you get a tour of the Gili stopping at different places to snorkel, the price includes the mask and tube, the fins are extra Each morning dozens of tourists go on this tour with several boats there, all with glass floors.

Despite being low season, the island is full, but in an acceptable measure. Most of them are Norse sun-seekers fleeing for a few days of their icy land. in each destination we have been in Asia have always found a slight majority of a country, we assume to be a fashion or a word of mouth from people who went and cleared up the recommendation on his return.

East of Bali, through a narrow deep swirls and dances among dolphins nothing is Lombok, an island whose territory and culture are closely intertwined with those of its illustrious neighbor. Lombok is quite different from Bali, its climate is drier and rougher land. Its 1.6 million inhabitants (only half of its more famous neighbor) are mostly Muslims.

Like Bali, Lombok is dominated by a high chain of volcanic mountains to the north, in the center is  Rinjani mountain, 3,800 meters, the second highest peak in Indonesia, as its center. Another chain does not cross the barren volcanic island south sector corresponding to the Bukit Peninsula, south of Bali. Most of the fertile land of Lombok its people occupy a strip of land 25 kilometers between the two chains

The area west of this plain is very similar to the east of Bali, which faces through the narrow, well fed by mountain streams and springs. Here the Balinese and “sasaks” have carved beautiful in the fertile rice paddies and steep alluvial fan at the foot of Mount Punikan. Here are the two main towns of the island, Mataram and Ampenan, near the old center and port Cakranegara. The solitary mountain huts and the spectacular southern beaches are only an hour away.

To practice the world’s best diving, surfing and enjoy the beaches, visitors from around the continent head to the east coast of Lombok. The idyllic white sand beaches and colorful coral reefs Senggigi and Gili islands attract thousands of tourists every year.

On the southeast peninsula of Lombok, the weather is splendid and pristine beaches. Land, coffee, coconut and sugar plants provide interesting tours. At sea, divers can find rare species of giant clams, sharks, turtles, manta rays and spotted cow blue stripes adorning the warm coast.

Gill Islands are located off the east coast of Lombok. These small islands surrounded by the beach, providing an excellent vacation destination for adventure-hungry tourists. The girls spend their days on the beach and nights in the clubs. Due to the small number of hotels on the islands, many visitors simply sleeping on beaches.

Renowned for its fine handicrafts, especially woven baskets and mats, as well as vases, boxes and other decorative objects. His name was invented when the kingdom of Langka Sasak located in Kupang, Central Lombok, fell to the invaders Balinese. The royal family escaped to Loyok, a village south of Kotaraja, meaning “City of Kings”

In the tribal villages in the mountains (the Waktu-telu), such as Pujung and Sengkol in South Central Lombok, is another type of traditional village with a hyperbolic shape, roof huts supported by wooden beams with large swaths of bamboo branches of trees interwoven to form walls and partitions.

With air travel increasing in record numbers, more people are experiencing the frustration of understanding the language of the airlines industry, and let them feel they need an interpreter for the travel information they are receiving from the airline industry! It seems that the airlines believe that everyone who flies you have to understand all that travel to the jargon they place on their flight reservations, and maybe it’s time to find out what they are talking about, because it is a cost that funds and valuable time!

five times to learn all the airlines travel terms, not on your travel agency and he / she will be able to collect all the wonderful service fees from you for being the interpreter of travel.

The price of your travel flight is based on a lot of complex components that the department airlines reservations application, no purpose to confuse, but to formulate their airfares and determine what they need to charge each passenger for all flights.

Now if you already know most of these airlines flight terms, then no problem. However, there are plenty of people who are new to travel, and are now starting to use online air suppliers to take advantage of great deals they offer. But when you’re making that reservation, it is necessary to understand why the flight you selected is so cheap, and what are the reasons for the low pricing.

Most of the terms of service airlines will encounter will play an important factor if you pay an expensive price for you ticket, or getting the discounted travel deals you’re looking for in the first place. I will explain the terms of the most common industry that a lot of people get confused about:

Misunderstanding in terms of aircraft can cost more money!

Directly or through the service: This can be confusing for many individuals. The aircraft even though is in direct route to your location, you may be making some routine stops on the road, and all passengers must remain on the plane at that time. there are plenty of times when you print your ticket is not going to the list of cities that are landing in, so it’s always good to investigate a little further and see how long the stop will be in each city.

Without stopping to direct or through the service: Avoid the five confused, because many of the airlines do not explain this properly. Nonstop means exactly that, and most travelers need these flights, so book quickly. You fly from your home and land in the desired location without stopping in the middle.

Connecting Flight: When you are in this type of service flight, now this is treated differently than above the other services. With this type of flight the plane travels five city to another, however, passengers must change aircraft at some point between the city of origin and location of the city.

Online Connections: This is when you change an aircraft but continue to fly with the same company. So if you are flying from Los Angeles to form the Angels in American Airlines. If you make a stop, for example, in Denver, modify the aircraft at that airport, but with the same American airline.

Interline Connection: This is where you as a passenger changes airplanes, but instead of boarding the same company that is on another airline. For this example, you’re flying from Seattle, Washington en route to San Antonio, Los Angeles. If you were on a United flight, which will stop in a city between its origin and location, and say that you have to get a U.S. company to continue its journey. The main reason for this is that the particular airline can not fly in some cities for business in particular, so then share with competing airline business companies.

Clamp opening: No, not when you see the price of your ticket and your jaw drops. This trip is five in the coming out of every five of the city, and later return from another city. For example: you fly from San Diego, Los Angeles City of Los Angeles, and then return home from Boston to San Diego. This can dramatically increase your air ticket, so if you are looking to visit a relative in another city that was, and after going to another city where families live, then carefully check and make sure you understand this term.

Consolidators: A consolidator can be your friend if you understand how they work. basically put, they buy an airline ticket at a lower rate to the rate, in order to resell the tickets to either the public or travel agencies. They buy the tickets at most of the air carriers, and therefore offer substantial savings. If you happen to be wondering what a tariff, which is basically set pricing, rules, regulations, and all approved bodies established in the airline industry.

Let’s talk about the types of fees! If you’re looking for fares online, you will find a list of different terminologies for your ticket, and reflected in the price you end up paying. The airlines distinguish certain fare prices by the terms normal or restricted.

Normal Price: The normal fare is first class, business class and economy. These have no restrictions such as advanced reservation requirements or stipulations maximum stay. These flights are valid for five years from the date of the first flight and can be extended if not used within that period.

Restricted Excursion and Discounted fees: These have certain restrictions, and that is why they are cheaper to buy. sold with a number of conditions attached, most of which require reservations in advance, and usually there is a maximum and sometimes a maximum stay requirement. Travel dates are predetermined, and any change in most cases are subject to a penalty, or sometimes can not make any changes whatsoever! Airlines limit the number of seats at these fares to encourage travelers to book early.

With an understanding of how it communicates the air travel industry, and how to determine a flight schedule and prices, is likely to be able to speak their language, prevent air lingo confusion, and get the best flight itinerary and the price with this new knowledge!

Bali is the first tourist destination in Indonesia and one of the favorites to get away from this area, the most western of the smaller islands of the probe but also the best known, over Solor, Adonara, flowers or  any other, and fifth largest.

This island is protected by coral reefs and is the highest point on Mount Agung, home to the Temple Besakih, the main temple of Bali, where it says are the gods when they go ashore.

Bali Museum contains historical exhibits, artistic and archaeological, where you can meet some of the history of Bali, a site consisting of a melting pot of cultures and a clear religious vocation.  Also check Kintamani center of the island of Bali.  Or even closer to Lake Bartan.  In Bali you can find many sites.

The Monkey Forest is 20 kilometers from the capital of Bali, which is Sangeh and Temple Pura Bukit Sair.  You must know the natural wonders that offers Bali and each of their villages, each with a tourist attraction and charm, where its people will welcome you as one more and spend a pleasant stay.

One of the charms of Bali are the traditional dances of Bali can not leave without knowing, nor can you go without go to some of its wonderful beaches.

Those wishing to learn about other cultures and enjoy a pleasant holiday in other countries, the island of Bali will surprise you pleasantly.

Bunaken, located in North Sulawesi is a paradise for divers, but the islands are also an ideal refuge for lost and disconnected from the hassles of Indonesia. The beaches between mangroves are home to a variety animal. Walking along the shore is a fantastic opportunity to meet and enjoy the wildlife.

But what made it famous are the great ocean depths. According to an Eastern myth, the universe is sustained by the shell of a turtle, and there is no more colorful and rich universe it, the warm sea around the islands of Indonesia, as in Bunaken. These seas are home to the evolution of sea creatures, the variety and abundance of animals here, is exceptional even by lush tropical seas. At the edge of the reef underwater cliffs plunge into the deep ocean. To the best sunlight, these rock walls are inhabited by an enormous variety of life. In the depths of animal life decreases dramatically, but the Indonesian seas are shallow enough so that the light reaching the seabed, hence the richness and variety.

All that remains to tell of Indonesia is a succession of scenes of good cheer and hospitality that made it difficult to leave this wonderful country.
To begin, we landed in Manado in Sulawesi archipelago, north of Indonesia, at about twelve o’clock, and while waiting for luggage in the middle of an interrupted sleep, a local strikes up conversation with us (we were practically the guiris only). He did not seem the typical Indonesian, his English very good and a whiter color than usual, betrayed the upper middle class to which he belonged. And it still retains enough of Manado culture and aristocratic nuance that colonized the Netherlands for years. So many families send their children to study in the Netherlands or the United States, hence its good accent.
The fact is that talking talking, he is delighted that we are in town and want to make us feel at home, insists on taking us to our hotel, no longer hours.
My mother. It was like feeling for the first time in all these months of travel, with all flights and all its airports, that someone was coming to pick! And how tired we were … Also gave us his cell phone and she was almost to staying at home …
The reason that led us to the Sulawesi is that some may sospecháis, diving. The place famous for its diving Bunaken is called, and it is not too big an island half an hour by boat from Manado. So next day we appeared in the port in search of a ship that was there and took us for a good price, because for a change was Sunday and there was no public boat ..
Manado was one of those places that still are not as accustomed to tourism and That made it special. People will smile in the street, some even come close to touching you, the smaller will launch a “hello miss!” From afar. But as always there are people who try to take advantage of unsuspecting tourists, confused us?? We found a sailor, well, he found us and offered us a trip to Bunaken at a reasonable price (after much haggling, of course). So I stayed with him an hour later to give us time to come back for the bags to the hotel. And thank goodness we did not pay in advance, because when we returned or sailor, or ship, for little or sea! His uncle had to find someone less willing to bargain with us … And then back again the Indonesian kind, that I rescued from a failed attempt to explain to the good lady of rice snack bar, which wanted a Nasi Campur but those with yellow rice, chicken, vegetables and a little spicy. Gas (that was his name), worked as a tour guide in Manado, but lived in Bunaken, so I offered to take a boat for the same contract price, plus get me a delicious meal typical of Manado.
