Today three of the great people I met on the island left to head to Palaign Bay and so I took the opportunity to have a day to myself and really veg out. This is the easiest thing to do on Gili Air and so my day slipped by. I lay for hours in the sun, both by the pool and by the ocean, and worked on the tan that I have yet to get even after four months in Indonesia.
I was found later that day by friends lounging in the gazebo like seating at Chill Out Bar, where I had been for four hours. Admitting that I’d just been reading, snacking, and getting my fill of delicious fruit juices, I thought it may be good to challenge myself a little and so I agreed to come along for trivia night at The Waterfront.
The Waterfront hosts a weekly Pub Trivia Night on Saturdays starting at 8pm. The buy-in for each team is 100,000 IDR for up to 5 people. Its no amateur hour, that’s for sure! Come prepared to find out how little you really know about sports, geography, movies, and culture! Also, its good to get a Brit on your team as a lot of questions are England-specific. I was on a team with four so I considered myself very lucky. The week before my teammates had come in dead last, this night, 5th out of 9 teams! A huge improvement. Winning team gets the cash to split.
