G land dos and donts

Had a beer up at Bobby's yesterday evening and while walking back past Jawa Jiwa I heard Slice Of Heaven by Dave Dobbin being played loud, sung even louder.
Couldn't believe it.
Called in to see your mates arm in arm finishing off the "da da da" part, and Deano kicking it shirtless on a beanbag looking like the cat that got the cheese. Fucking hell, what a classic scene as the sun dipped over the bay and your mates got the bonfire stacked. Few toasts to the ANZACs, glasses raised, then Let There Be Rock by AC/DC came on and your mates were off and away again.
I then had a few beers with old Moonah down at Joyos, who was quietly chuffed at the coming forecast. Glad he packed a 7'6". I left this morning on the fast boat. Kuta now, home tomorrow.
Glad to hear you're feeling better. Hope you can swing into a few during the next swell.
Few sore heads the next day. I slept through all the festivities , I think I've been in ketosis for 4 days now. Seems there has been a bit of crookness around, it almost feels like the time I had the rona. Splitting headache fevers etc. Hopefully get in the water for a few wiggles today.

Camp is all good. Nice hosts good rooms . Foods fine. Good little coffee shop. Hot showers, I'd come back here for sure.
Whats the Cost ?

We booked as a group and may have got some discount but it cost 1200 AUD for 10 nights, 3 meals included each day and fast boat there and back
That’s a bargain.
All the best for the remainder of your trip. Swell is definitely picking up fast!
This has been a great thread…so good to hear some first hand accounts of the SN crew on tour at my favourite wave.
Onya boys from both sides of the ditch.
Some happy nostalgia for me whilst rehabbing a knee :-)
Any of you ever bring your missus for a short jaunt? My wife sounds interested in a four day G-Land trip when next on Bali.
She can spend hours reading, walking, snorkeling.
I've done plenty of boys trips to land camps and boat trips, but lately, now the kids have grown up, the Mrs and I are doing scooter trips around the Islands staying where ever. We've already circumnavigated Bali, Lembongan/Ceningan, Penida & Lombok together over the last couple of years. Looking at doing Sumbawa next year. We basically rock up, hire a scooter for several weeks/months, usually an Nmax, and take off. Google maps at the ready.

Perfect.
Thoughts of Sumatra?
Yeah IB I'm interested in the answer to that too. I've done plenty of indo hard core but these days wife wants to come and just hang in a nice place in Bali. Where can I take her for maybe 4 or 5 days without her getting too bored?

Nice to catch up Stu. Hope the trip home went well.
Didn’t miss much today. Photos will make it look amazing. It was pretty slow and busy with some horrendous surf etiquette on display.
Next few days looking good.
Heading to G land next week to get scarred up and beaten, never been , any tips any topics from old hands be appreciated. Taking a 7.0, 6.8 & a 6.3.
