Kuta, Lombok Indonesia

 We were fortunate to spend our Spring break on another beautiful Indonesian island. The island of Lombok is quite different than its next door neighbor, Bali. Lacking mainstream tourists and facilities, Lombok is a haven for those looking to get away from it all. There's plenty of surfing and a magnificent volcano to hike, but we chose to spend our time beach hopping on the southern coast and sampling many delicious foods of locally owned woerungs (restaurants). There were coconuts galore on every beach and for 80 cents a young man with a machete would slice it right open for you and even include a straw!

We stayed in Kuta at friendly family run place called Yuli's Homestay and felt as if we were saying goodbye to people we known for years when we left. If spending anytime in Bali, it's possible to hop over to Lombok for a few days by boat or plane. We highly recommend this spot as your first stop!
