After the Gilis, we continued to the big island of Lombok - and ended up in Senggigi for a night. It was a lively beach town, though quite touristy. Still, we managed to swim with some locals at the beach :) After Senggigi, we continued to Mataram to meet some friends, including Habibi, who has an awesome passion for all things environmental. He graciously welcomed us to his Eco-Farm in Pringgabaya, where we stayed for 2 days.
Preparing for the eco-farm's first big event!
