The drive north from Bangsal, the jump-of point for boattrips to the Gili’s, has a rich range of scenic variety, through a lush area of verdant rice fields. The road runs beside the beach and the terrain become distinctly arid. Only some dry bush here and there being fought over by skinny goats. It’s appreciably hotter and the sea is still. We could a round the north of the island and at Bayan we turn off and climb to the cooler air of Batu Koq.
