This was our 10th trip to Bali, and we never had been to Lombok either for much the same reasons as you mentioned. After going, I'm kicking myself that we didnt go earlier. The people are friendly and the scenery is more spectacular. Petrol is cheaper, Taxis are cheaper and eating out is cheaper. Traffic is lighter and the deals at the hotels are very good. They love Aussies too and I'll quote you what a Muslim gentleman said to me, 'we are all brothers, my god, your god all the same, we all should live together and be happy'!!!! What more can be said!
