    Update: Ferries are now running again between bali and gili gede: giligetaway.com/

    Another great video from Follow the Boat. I was on Gili Trawangan in December of 1990, just over 32 years ago now. At that time, Gili Trawangan looked like Gili Gede today. There were very few places to stay. The villagers on Gili Gede have good ideas about not letting tourism developments get out of control too quickly. They certainly got the idea after watching developments on Gili Trawangan.

    • @followtheboat
      @followtheboat  Рік тому +1

      Exactly what Joe said! He worked on Gili T for a while and disliked it. Too noisy, too much drinking and nudity for his tastes. He loves tourists who are interested in the Sasak and local culture and have come to immerse themselves in somewhere different. Like everyone here, he's not anti-tourist, just not in favour of losing local culture. Liz x

      Haha! That evil-looking lure is wrapped up onboard at the moment, sharp edges safely covered up. I love octopuses too much to eat them. ♥️🐙 Liz x

    Wow.. what an introduction! Liz, I can't figure out which of you has the better voice, but one thing is clear, you guys have a radio voice for sure. I recall not liking the slow pace at which you visit places, often taking weeks or a month, to dig into an island. But now I get it and love it. What a great way to spend your years - such a nice awesome relaxed way to go about life. It is perhaps the greatest luxury you can acquire - the time to visit and smell the flowers. Only wish we could achieve this at some point.

      @followtheboat  Рік тому

      It's common in the UK to use the word 'salubrious' in an ironic way, i.e describing somewhere pretty run-down and unpleasant as 'salubrious'. Here Jamie used it in a non-ironic way, we love Gili Gede! Liz 💛

    Very possibly my favorite FTB episode! How perfect that you ran into Joe when you did, i.e. not on the day you planned a tour with him but impromptu.
    I replayed the sequence five or six times and am still at a loss: what is that animal walking up the felled tree trunk at 19:47?? Is it actually a horse?
    Best regards.
