Estaba mirando un poco los posibles recorridos, y después de tanto leerlas por todo me parecía bastante raro, sales de Bali lleno de playas y te vas a Gili, para más playa, al mirar la wikitravel de Gili, vi que muchos de los puntos están dedicados a fiesta, todo tipo de drogas... Vamos, si ya suponía que Bali, además de ser algo más tolerante por no ser musulmán, tendría fiesta/party boats/drogas parece que Gili está aun más centrado en eso, aun con igual que en Bali, claras advertencias sobre las duras penas del país.
¿Tengo ahora una idea equivocada de la isla? ¿Vale la pena parar 1-2 días para hacer snorkel o mejor me muevo a otra area? Lo digo, porque si el snorkel no vale realmente la pena, salto directamente a Lombok. Me atrae mucho un par de días sin moto, de relax total, bici por todo, no tanto si los locales me ven como otro de los que va a su hogar a drogarse.
Gracias
Hola.
Tienes una idea equivocada de lo que son las Gili. Sales de Bali lleno de playas y te vas a Gili, para más playa, curioso razonamiento porque te podemos decir exactamente lo miso a ti: sales de Mallorca con sus magníficas playas y te vas a Bali donde no hay buenas playas... .
En Bali hay muchísimos templos para ver, bonitos pueblos, actividades culturales,... . En las Gili esto no lo vas a encontrar, alli básicamente se va a descansar, de relax. En cuanto a las drogas, no se de donde lo has sacado porque en todo Indonesia vigilan mucho este tema. Evidentemente si buscas drogas las encontraras, pero ni en Bali ni en las Gili son lugares que te las ofrecan por la calle.
El hecho de escoger un recorrido u otro va en función de lo que busques. Si quieres buen snorquel no vaias a las Gili, escoge otro destino, pero si quieres relax, estas islas son ideales y además puedes aprovechar para otras actividades: inmersion, snorquel,... .
Salud.
Se perfectamente lo que es Bali y mi idea es recorrerla entera en moto; templos, mercados, termas... me refería a que me sorprendió ver eso en la wikitravel. wikitravel.org/en/Gili_Islands
Various other drugs and intoxicants are readily available and sometimes flaunted (as is the case of mushrooms and 'power drinks' at parties), and you can expect to be offered everything from marijuana to methamphetamine. Keep in mind you are still in Indonesia, where drug usage and distribution penalties are extraordinarily harsh ranging from 20 years in a dilapidated prison to the death penalty. On Gili Trawangan, there have been a number of busts of high profile local characters resulting in serious prison sentences. On Gili Air, village leaders have been known to banish tourists from the island for drug usage and several signs posted around the island will remind you of their local laws.
Ya veo, a que las han enfocado, entiende, que siendo de Baleares, siento un cierto rechazo a la gente que viene SOLO para drogarse, por lo que, ir a un sitio donde se diera lo mismo, no es que sea mi plan ideal, diría que todos dedicamos días de un viaje a fiesta, pasarlo bien, despejarse pero eso no quita, que se el rechazo que eso causa en la sociedad local hacía los turistas y no quiera ser visto como cualquiera que va a Magaluf o el Arenal, que muchas veces está mal visto hasta en sus países Alemania y UK. Cuando conozco algún Alemán o Inglés que me dice, uff a Mallorca no iría nunca, solo se va a beber y drogarse, aunque... Leer más ...
Hola Viajeros!
Estoy viendo el tema de la visa para Australia. Soy argentina con pasaporte italiano. Entiendo que la visa que necesito es la eVisitor (subclass 651). Es así?
Por otro lado, leí tambien sobre ''health requirements'' y documentos a presentar ...
you are free from tuberculosis when you travel to, and enter, Australia; and
you have no criminal convictions for which you have been sentenced for a total combined period of 12 months or more, whether or not the sentence/s were served.
You may be subject to further visa conditions depending on the purpose of your visit to Australia.
Es necesario tener certificados de salud y antecedentes para la eVisitor (subclass 651) o es simplemente una declaracion jurada que se firma?
POR FAVOR LEER! NO COMPRES VIAJES EN ESTA EMPRESA!
Os voy añadir mi correo que escribí a lowcostholidays donde nunca recibí una respuesta... ahí vais a ver que incompetente son:
Dear Lowcostholidays,
Me and my boyfriend wanted to enjoy some days together in a beautiful island. As we are a student and a young worker, we were searching for cheap holidays. Through the internet, we found your agency and were very pleased in the great proposals you offer. We booked a hotel together with a flight on the 21st of July (see attached PDF file). We introduced the credit card data (VISA Credit Card) and everything seemed to work out fine.
The day after, on the 22nd of July, we received an email saying that something went wrong with the reservations. We were firstly surprised to see that what was supposed to be a "customised" email contained sentences like: "Thank you for choosing lowcostholidays for your next holidays to xxxxxxxxxxx". It is not nice to receive generic emails from the agency in which you have relied giving nearly half of the salary of the month, but we thought it was not so important. Following this sentence, it came another one saying "After having left a voice message in your voice mailbox, we contact you to make you aware that the flights that you have chosen have not completed their booking process". There comes the second surprise, as there was no voice message at all in our inbox. In fact, there was no sign that you had tried to contact us - not even a missed call. But OK, we were so excited about the great plans that you offered that we decided to carry on and contact you in order to get everything solved as soon as possible. So we did it.
At 9:14 CET we try to reach you for the first time through your 902 telephone service, which was the one indicated in your email. Let us highlight that 902 calls are not covered by flat rates and have their own special tariff. After 3 minutes on hold, we decided to hang up the call and try again later on. At 9:20 CET we tried again on the same line with a 6 minutes call. Your agent Margarita kindly responded us and informed us that the flight booking had not successfully finished as the prices had increased in the last minute by 74 €. There comes the first disappointment: how can this happen? We supposed that when we clicked the "Buy" button and providing our credit card data we were accepting to buy something at certain conditions. It looked that it was not like that - but it was definitely not our fault!
As we needed to think about it, we said to Margarita that we would call later to confirm that we wanted to go ahead with the reservation with the extra-cost.
At 11:01 CET we receive a call from an English phone number (+44 prefix) from a spanish speaking man who does not identify himself with his name (afterwards we would realize that his name was likely Peter). Let us highlight again that receiving phone calls from England implies an extra cost when these calls are received by a spanish phone provider. We thought "let's try to get this solved as quickly as possible as these calls are going to be really expensive". During this 10 minutes call, your colleague informs us that the flights price has increased by something over 100 €. We kindly explain to him that this was not possible as his colleague Margarita had previously informed that the total price of the reservation had increased by 74 €. He put our call on hold and after some minutes he confirmed to us... Leer más ...
