Lombok
One of the first excursions I made in Southeast Asia was to Lombok, Indonesia. Lombok is Bali's obscure, eastern neighbor. In two visits I found Lombok to be sleepy and gorgeous, and the people hospitable and friendly. Outside of the hustle-filled tourist area of Senggigi I was often invited into people's homes and engaged in curious conversation. Bali has its legendary charms, but, if you have the opportunity, Lombok is well worth a visit too.
I suggest hiring
a car and driver in Lombok and exploring the island, but have your own
itinerary set. Otherwise you will simply be shepherded through a succession
of gift shops and tourist markets.
