Cakranegara Market, Mataram Lombok – Indonesia.
The Carless Island, Gili Trawangan – Indonesia
The Gili Islands (Gili Air, Meno and Trawangan) are car and motorbike free. No motor transport at all. It is quite surreal after travelling around motorbike happy Indonesia. The only form of public transport is the cidomo (horse and cart). Bicyles are available and the islands are small enough to walk around. Everything is brought in by boat then carried to shore by hand.
Coffee of the day: Gili Meno – Indonesia
Kopi Lombok on Gili Meno, Indonesia. The Gili Islands are off the coast of Lombok island so they serve Lombok coffee. The coffee is unfiltered so you get some grinds clinging to the side, but most of it settles and it is a good brew.
I like the coffee naming system in Indonesia. So far I have enjoyed Kopi Sumatra, Kopi Java (which could technically be Kopi Kopi or Java Java), Kopi Bali and now Kopi Lombok. You have to say this when you order to make sure you are not served instant coffee.
I want to know how many more “Kopi X” varieties there are in Indonesia? Kopi Sulawesi would be a certainty. How many more out of the 17000 islands of Indonesia?
