My first day of vacation started off with a morning cab ride to the lovely Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin II airport for my 11am flight to Jakarta and then the connecting flight to Mataram. My favorite thing about flying in Indonesia is that security is an absolute joke. It is possible to carry all the liquids your heart desires in your carry-on, and on top of that, if you can't be bothered to turn off your electronics, you go right on ahead and play Words with Friends. To all the Alec Baldwins of the world, Indonesia is the country for you!
Thankfully, my travel day to Mataram, Lombok passed uneventfully and I arrived at my hotel safely, however a bit exhausted, from traveling halfway across the archipelago. I dropped my bags and went for a quick wander, found a pizza place and indulged in my first bites of good pizza in 7 months. After that it was back to the hotel for an early night before waking up to head to Gili Trawangan.

Mmm, a refreshing bottle of Ades water!
