Hi marKer, I have heard mixed reports about Lombok in the past - that the locals are not as friendly as the balinese and quite aggressive so have not wanted to go there in the past. Obviously it was not the case for you - would love to hear some more about the lombok part of your trip :)
Also was wondering how much it cost you to hire a car and how that went? I thought it might be better to get a car and driver because the driving style there is a little nerve racking at times. How did you find the hire car / drive yourself situation? Would you recommend it?
