We just checked into our hotel on the island of Gili Trawangan which is about an hour by boat from Bali (or 2 hours if you're on the "fast" slow boat) and we are in love with this place. The island is small (3km long and 2km wide) and the best part about it is that there is no motorised transport, only bicycles and horse carts, which is a far cry from Kuta on Bali where you are constantly dodging motorbikes.
We wandered down the main road to find a little beachside restaurant to enjoy our first meal in paradise. The four of us make perfect travel companions because we all love to eat, we have very similar tastes in food, and our mommas taught us how to share! Today we picked three different seafood dishes: a seafood BBQ platter which had grilled prawns, calamari and fish (bottom right), sauteed prawns in a marinara-esque sauce (bottom left), and pan-fried calamari stuffed with shrimp + fish cooked in an apple curry sauce (top centre).
Grab a fork and dig in - that's our style.
