Low late afternoon sun tree-shades Trawangan beach-goers while highlighting passing boat and not-too-distant Gili Meno. Last visited August/Sept 2011 Gili means "small island" in the local lingo and thats what these north-west Gili islands are: 3 small coral cays a short distance off the north west corner of Lombok - G Air, G Meno and G Trawangan as you go away from the coast.
