We are on our way to our Summer Holiday in Lombok.

Lombok is an island in West Nusa Tenggara province, Indonesia . It forms part of the chain of the Lesser Sunda Islands, with the Lombok Strait separating it from Bali to the west and the Alas Strait between it and Sumbawa to the east. It is roughly circular, with a "tail" (Sekotong Peninsula) to the southwest, about 70 km across and a total area of about 4,514 km² .

The provincial capital and largest city on the island is Mataram. It is somewhat similar in size and density with neighboring Bali and shares some cultural heritage, but is administratively part of NTB along with sparsely populated Sumbawa. It is surrounded by a number of smaller islands locally called Gili.

The island was home to some 3.17 million Indonesians as recorded in the decennial 2010 census; the latest estimate (for January 2014) gives the population as 3,311,044.

Our flight will be 5 ½ hours into Dempaser. Leaving at 6.55pm and arriving at 10pm (Bali time). Flight on time and Looking forward to enjoying some Business Class hospitality!. We will stay the night and continue our journey by 3pm tomorrow into Lombok (30 minute flight)

Here we come!!!
