Lombok is just east of Bali and predicted by some to be the next Bali
because of the beautiful white sand beaches and scenery.
We were in the Southern part of Lombok, but there is a new airport in the
North with several high-end resort. I think it has a better chance of
offering a laid-back alternative to the hustle and bustle of Bali.
Today was the hottest day so far, with no breeze - I am sure I will
experience even hotter as we leave winter behind - but I have to admit I
took refuge this afternoon in a nice air conditioned spot.
