however I think I'd be getting a driver. There is no way to know which road you are on, a lot of the locals don't speak anything but sasak dialect (not even Indonesian) and there are lots of hazards....cidomos (horsecarts), markets that spill onto the roads, huge potholes on some roads, and at night, locals who like to sit on the unlit road for warmth! Not a relaxing place to drive!!I can recommend a fantastic driver...Jocko Sudiarto 081933165750 add + and leave off the 0 from o/s. Joc has been showing us "secret" spots all over Lombok for years and he's a really lovely guy. Ask him to take you to ibu Lorraine's favourite places and you'll see some sights!!
