Last Christmas all my siblings got together to travel off to a wonderful tropical destination, Lombok. Just one island over to the east from Bali, it features a beautiful mountain volcano and scenic beaches. I had a wonderful time once again getting to know the locals and the tasty food! On a previous trip I ventured up the volcano, Mt Rinjani, and it was quite the climb. Coming close to the apex the path fell off on either side quite steeply. There were awesome views and we reached above the clouds. In the crater of the volcano there lies a hidden lake, and on one of the landing points, where tourists gather, you feel like you are on top of the world. There were also monkeys stealing peoples food! I’ve had many trips to the island and never has it disappointed. It is a great destination for snorkeling, scuba diving, surfing, and sight seeing.
