Londo's home movies.
It speaks! I reveal myself on a walking tour of the island and offer my thoughts and opinions on all things Gilli Meno.

I loved the clip you posted today.. but this first one so cool cruise, gotta travel.Londo wrote: ↑Sun Jun 11, 2023 11:04 amMaking some videos as I travel through Bali, Lombok and wherever. They're amateurish efforts and not the type of content most here will find appealing, however someone might like to see how much a room or meal is over this way.
The first video is pretty slow going.
Londo. Carry on brother. I watch truckloads of travel stuff on YouTube.
You are outstanding. Cheers Maye.
That's pretty generous praise, Sid, which I'm not entirely sure the vids are worthy of - but I'm grateful for you taking the time to say so.Sid Singer wrote: ↑Mon Jun 26, 2023 5:23 pm

The sketchiness of Trawangan and a K/Darren meltdown.
In my few days on Trawangan the money exchanger tried to make an extra few bucks on a sizable sum I exchanged by counting out $20 less than the advertised rate which I'd already calculated. Two venues tried bill padding, one telling me not to come back with "We don't like you" after I called them out and demanded a new bill. My umbrella was taken. I was also given the wrong dish of food at one place and told it was now my meal whether I wanted it or not.
Trawangan has become a tourist ghetto of the highest order and, well, sure, go trash yourself on expensive mushrooms, pot, booze and whatever else, but other than that...I't's so far removed from Gili Meno as far as hospitality, kindness, warmth, friendliness, and a chilled place to stay, it's remarkable these two islands are only a few hundred meters apart. It's unlikely I'll be back Gili T any time soon.
A guy on the "Fast boat" from Trawangan to Bali this afternoon had a bit of a meltdown after he was told the "Fast Boat" would leave at 11am, be direct/non-stop, take 1 1/2 hours, and be a luxury boat. We left two hours late at 1pm, stopped twice, first at Gilli Air then again at Lombok before crossing the strait to Bali with the trip taking over three hours - 5 hours including the delayed start.
The boat was overcrowded with people having to stand, AC didn't work and you couldn't open the windows because of constant bow spray- it got pretty warm quickly with everyone, particularly the German, sweating more than was comfortable. The German lost his shit for a few minutes complaining loudly to the crew and everyone else about it all. Fortunately for him he realized a few of the larger boat staff had now descended from above deck to eye him uneasily - he stopped his tantrum.
Now back on Bali, I'm cutting this trip short and heading back to Australia in a few days to organize things to try make videos more long term because I enjoyed making the little vids far more than I thought I would. Hopefully next time out in a few months it will be for a year or so, hopefully longer.
Here ends Londo's Home Movies for now.

After a few weeks mooching around Nepal doing nothing, the GoPro batteries are on charge, some foggy sort of an idea to implement is in place, and it's time to try this Youtube thing in earnest.Here ends Londo's Home Movies for now.

The shake woke me last night in Pokhara and sent people rushing outside. Apparently 150 dead just west of here. Terrible.
Onto other things - the vids are back. It's just a bit of nonsense, m'kay?

My only question is how you managed to change your username from 'Mr Londo' to 'Londo'? I think you are the only one to change usernames without starting fresh.
Well, eat my shorts . Wonderful.
Really enjoyed, you are a step (or two)above the regular travel You Tuber. You got talent.
Loved the Indo clips,.and so verycool you speak the lingo Londo
Cheers Wayne.
