Lembar, port of Lombok

"After arrival at the port of Lembar we go directly to the hotel in Senggigi with the ready minibus. After some delay along the way, (we had a flat tire for the second time) we arrived in Senggigi after about an hour, where we will be accommodated in the beautiful Pendok Senggigi in the coming days. That turned out to be a good hotel with beautiful bungalows and a swimming pool. After we showered and changed, we caught up with the whole group Senggigi. At the Super-de-luxe Senggigi Beach Hotel."

Arrival at Lembar

From a travel blog:

"The last week we have been in many different places.
From the De Gilli islands we first sailed to Lombok with a small fishing boat and then drove to Lembar by bus (the port on Lombok). From there we went on the ferry to Bali. Once in Bali we took a bus to Sanur where we stayed for another day.
A whole trip in a short time but it was definitely worth it. The Gilli islands were really beautiful. White beaches and a very clear blue sea, beautiful! The first day we snorkelled and we saw a total of 4 large turtles, Mighty beautiful."
