Lombok Day 1 (Friday)

We all woke up at around 8 or 9. I was so hungry. So we went to the restaurant to eat our breakfast. I ate yoghurt with fruits, a waffle, scrambled egg, and some bread. That was so much food! I usually barely eat breakfast at all. But that at least rescued me from having to eat any lunch.

We mainly stayed in the the hotel. My mom really wanted to buy some pearls. She knew a guy who had good pearls, so we all went to his shop. The pearls were interesting. At one of the shops, was his daughter (i believe). Everybody wanted to take pictures of me and the small girl. After that there were some ladies with babies who wanted to take pictures of me with them. I got slightly fed up by all of those pictures.

My mom bought some pearls, and we then got to go. At the ATM, I really wanted to press the buttons, so my mom and I cramped into the little ATM room together, while my dad bought some pocari for his bike trip the next day. We ate in this restaurant that I don't know the name of. The food was good and filling, really filling.

Back in our villa, we had to go swimming, because the pool was so nice. I thought the water was very cold, but I didn't seem to mind that much in the end.

Lombok

On Friday and Monday we had no school. Plus Saturday and Sunday. So basically we had a 4 day weekend. It was awesome!!!
While most of my friends stayed in Jakarta, I went to Lombok. To be exact, we went to Senggigi. Our resort had a pool right in front of the door to our room. It was a pool that was so called private to us only It was so much fun!!!

Our "private" pool
We arrived in Lombok at about 1 a.m on Friday, because we left Jakarta only Thursday after school and we also had a slight delay. At the entrance of the resort were these fish ponds, with small fountains. The fountains were off and it was dark outside. I noticed the pond immediately when we go there. But apparently my dad didn't. He fell into the pond with his clothing and shoes on, making the whole family and the hotel boy cramp up in laughter. Once we got to our room, all we did was brush our teeth and go to bed.
