One of the highly endearing traits of Gili Meno island is the lack of any motor vehicles.  Everyone gets around with horse carts on dirt roads. We saw horses carrying building materials, food supplies, tourist luggage and every now and again even some lazy tourists!  

On our first day in Gili Meno we received an awesome recommendation from 3 dutch backpackers for a guide to take you snorkeling around the island.  They weren't too sure of his name but he was "the guy with the blue boat outside of the Eco Lodge" hostel.  Later in the week we accidentally  ended up outside the Eco Lodge and bumped into Pie (the guys with the blue boat) who was very nice and offered to take us out the following morning. You can see more of our snorkeling in the video below but we had a lovely day with Pie. He took us to all the best secret spots and we saw many turtles, colorful corals and tons of fish. Best of all he timed it perfectly so we were the only ones snorkeling and we didn't have to deal with other crazy tourists scaring all the turtles away. We got on the boat mourned 8:30am and we were back home at around 11am having had our fill of snorkeling we spent the rest of the afternoon relaxing on the beach.
