--Tenths day teaching, we did not know that the class was going to be so short today beacuse it was a holiday. They where celebrating the full moon. So we played game for 30 mins. We had found some plastic balls and eggs so we could do an egg toss compettion in class. Chelsea and I broke the class into three different groups the red table became Team Apple, the green table became Team Watermelon, and the yellow table became Team Banana. We had a relay race, an egg toss, and a basketball competition, for points so we could give them stickers. At the end of game day; Team Apple, Watermelon, and Banana had all tied and got the same point across the board.

Thursday: October 1, 2015

 -- Waking up at 2 to climb Mount Batur. It took a 1 hour taxi ride to the location where we have breakfest, then another 30 min until we reached the base of the mountains. It took 2 hours to the reach the top of the mountain. We also climbed the mountain in the middle of the night and it was a rought hike up, but after reaching the top and seeing the sunrise it was all worth it.  When the sun came up we went even higher on the mountain and the views were Amazing. After speding an hour up at the top we came back down the mountain and it also took 2 hours to climb down. Once we reached the car we all piled in and fell alseep before reachingt the Really nice rice terrices. We jumped out of the car and took a few picture. Got back into the car and went back to the volunteer house and naped all day. Went to the goodbye and welcome dinner for the volunteers and then went out. We went out to Cupid and CP Lounge an did not get back to the house until 2am and then it was time for bed.

While in the taxi I tried to take a little power nap before reachin the school. My parnter and me taught the children in our class room more about Fruit. After teaching for two hours went back to the volunteer house took a long nap and chilled and watched a movie. After having some time to relaxs, I needed to get packed for my trip over to Gili Trawanga.

Saturday & Sunday: October 3-4, 2015

-- Woke up earlier to meet Jacqueline another volunteer who also wanted to go to Gili Trawanga. Meet her at the stadnd where we booked the taxi to head to Padangbai to catch the ferry over to the Island. Gili Trawanga is an island of the coast of Lombok. The ferry ride over to the island took about three hours we first had to stop at Lombok, then another part of the Gilis Islands; Gili Air and then Gili Meno and the last stop was Gili T. Once we reach the island we had to find the Airnb that we booked. It took also a few minutes to figure out which way to go, finally we gave up on the walking and got a ride by a horse buggy because the island does not  have car on them. Jacqueline and I finally made it to the Bungalows ( the place we stayed was called Mango Dive and Bungalows) we had a one bed room. This place was very neat on the bottom floor you had an area where you could chill and just hang out with friends and then the top floor where the bedroom is, it also had a little porch sit on. After you enter the room, you go down the stairs to where the bathroom and shower our. After exploring the bungalow we got our baitsuits on and went and chilled on the beach for alittle while before we went to get dinner. After we the beach went and took a shower and then went for a walk to find a place to eat. After eating was in bed by 930. We woke up not to early so we could get breakfest and then we decided we wanted to go snorkeling for the day. So around eleven we went out snorkeling, I got to see a few turtles but they where really far down so it was hard to see them. Then they took us to another spot right off of the island Gili Meno and  we also anchored the boat right on Gili Meno so we could have lunch. After a late lunch we went back to Gili T and laid out on the beach before sunset. We got ready so we could walk around the island to see the sunset. But we asked to the guys who owned the Bungalows which way to go (because when googling Gili T you see people with the sunset and swing and we wanted to get a picture with the swings.) So we started the walk it took us about ten to fifteen minutes to get to where the swings where. We took a few picture with the swings. We decided we need to start walking  back to the other side of the island so we could get dinner. On the way back we saw this resort with a restaurant and it had live music. So we stop for a secound and decided what to do go back and get dinner or stay over on this side of the island and have a few drinks and listen to the music at Aston Sunset Beach Resort. So we order and few drinks before heading back to the other side of the island. After the sun went down we stayed for a few more song then walked back to the other side to find something to eat. On the way to find something to eat, on the beach near the Bungalows they had a movie playing on the beach how cool is that. After eating we went and sat and watched the movie for a little while but then head back to the room to go to bed. 

​

Still on the Island heading into week Five!
