Jason Lunn.com/ Surfing and life in Indonesia

Been busy with a whole bunch of heavyweight earthmoving equipment rearranging some of the land I have purchased, lots of people have been helping, fun times very tired but have some great photos soon to post.. Decided not to return to the UK on the 14th November and just decided to blow out my return flight so I can spend some more time here. England is just not feeling like a place I want to be right now.. Expensive week diggers and trucks do not come cheap, house equity fromsale of my house has taken a sizeable hit,.. Have not surfed for a month and moved into a new place to stay in Lombok which is less expensive bigger and cleaner. Decided to buy a secondhand moped today instead of renting one like I did the whole of last year. Life is still good,..Darsi Miranti visited me in Lombok for a few days this weekend which was fun. Relationships as much as they are fun always feel like a potential nightmare aboutr to happen dont know why, I guess its having losely based plans and dreams and hioping they tie in with someone else’s. But I shall keep trying as per usual, want to surf again soon but swell has dropped off, but all is well today..

Gili Trawangan Gili Meno and Gili Air, 3 small yet beautiful islands with white sandy beaches, turquiose aqua water, wonderful coral reefs alive with exotic colourful fish and huge sea turtles, all the clocks are on rubber time. No cars, no motorbikes just bicycles, horses and carts, dining tables along the waters edge and the sea lapping at your ankles as you stroll along the beach with the sun scorching down on your  back. If you can share such a place with someone you care about, bliss can be the only word to describe the experience. Trees draping over the waters edge as you drink fresh coconuts and eat ripe mango and pineapple. Luxury villas pools and luxury cuisine to keep your mind occupied with choice. Time stands still every day here as the sun kisses the waters edge,  leaving behind a bright orange curtain accross the horizon each night. A small piece of paradise I have found and today I have left to go back to Lombok. A small boat ride back to the mainland and I collect my moped from the secure parking in Bangsal Harbour. No stress a 40 minute ride along the palm lined cliff faced coastal road through Sengigi and I am now sitting in Mataram Mall  in an internet shop. Things to do, flights to cancel, visas to renew,.. I am not returning back to England on my flight Nov 14th I can notdo it, my heart will not let me and I am following my heart. Its that simple..so Indonesia I will stay a little while longer. I read Alexas comments on my blog yesterday and they are stirring me, she has been on my mind today, can’t post her/our story here but goodbye is never an easy thing to say or do..

Spent the afternoon swimming as deep as I could amongst the fish and coral, drank and ate fresh coconuts. Found a bakery that makes great croissantas and black coffee. Simple things under the blue skies and bright light of the sun,.. chickens in the street and horses pulling carts, “when reality becomes a nightmare it is time to live the dream..” Now every new  reality each morning is born again and has been a dream come true for a very long time now.. I feel inside that my God is real and all praise and credit is due,…

Still here, spending time with my new female companion from Gili T, Darsi Miranti, 29 years old makes me laugh non stop!, having some fun and then some..

Gili T has great snorkeling and a very steep coral shelf. The island has a very busy diving culture and there are many Padi courses available. I love the deep water and have been practicing my free diving as i want to get up to 20 metres approx 60 ft with just a mask and snorkel and a lungful of air. We have been snorkeling together and yesterday were swimming in what seemed like a fishtank/ aquarium and I was swimming within 2 feet of two extremely big sea turtles that were slowly munching away eating along the coral reef..Warm water glorious sunsets and someone to share it with OOh la lahhh! life is being so kind to me at the moment…

1. I have been working on my land, with a local called Ruka. works like an ox and we have been clearing all the small trees so we can see where to get a bulldozer and digger in to get some levels for building at a later date. I havent surfed for a while and my hands have blisters and my shins scratched to pieces but life is good…

2. In what appears to becoming a habit I met a woman called Darsi Miranti in Bali airport when I was flying to Lombok, Not particularly in the frame of mind to meet any new beautiful women at this stage, however our paths crossed accross the runway and well the rest is history. It appears that we get on well and we have spent some time together for about a week on the Gili Isles just off Lombok,.. If romance had an address it would be here. I feel lke I have been given a free honeymoon without a wedding and all the hassle that goes with that, Wow Ooh La Laahh! life is good.. After my previous encounter in Bandung with Alexa I felt it necessary to steer my life in a different direction based on some integrity and deceit issues I felt she had at this stage of her life that I could not get entwined and involved with. This was not easy as I am very fond of her, however, I feel as though life has rewarded me for making a very difficult yet necessary decision to steer away from investing any more time in that direction.

So the relationship conveyor belt once again continues,.. however I am having a wonderful relaxing time, some quality loving and have taken some wonderful photos of wonderful places, whe possible I will try and post here soon.. No fresh water here on the Gili Islands, Internet is not so great!

I have a return flight to England on Nov 13th, I do not want to go back Aghhhhhhhhhhhhhh! we shall see..
