So I left flores on the Ferry across to Sumbawa.

Got on a bus in Sumbawa and  took it across to another Ferry to get to Lombok.

Got on yet another bus, got dropped off on the side of the road for the tunr off south to Kuta, Lombok (not kuta, Bali) and grabbed a cheap ride in a bemo (small mini van thing with massive sound systems. Funny thing actually, the bemo drivers love putting huge sound systems in their rides, no idea where they get the equipment, but you can pick which one you want to take based on the music and sound level. A few times I almost went deft, funny guys.

So I arrived in kuta, along with some a Canadian guy named Christian and an English fella named Chris. I met them on the Ferry from Flores, super rad dudes, and really nice to finally have some other travellers to talk with.

While in Kuta we rented motorbikes and toured around the area, checking out seculded beaches, little villages, and just rippin in general.

Christian blew a tire so had to push the bike to a small town to try and get fixed, luckily, no big deal.

That night we got drunk off Bintang, met a cool guy that told us to call him American Steve, and Christian got bit by a big geko

Next day, we rented more bikes, some surf boards and a hired a guy to give us a ride out to the break in his fishing boat.

The surf break was a reef break, a few miles out to sea. Pretty gnarly stuff, biggest waves i've ever been on, and most extreme location in general. Super fun, I got to ride a couple, but I was getting worked out there. Quite humbleing.

Headed back in we just chilled and organized how we were going to get out of there. I was heading to Gili Trawanagan, a small island off the northwest coast of Lombok, and the boys were headin to Bali.
