great choice...love Lombok!! Um the price of 450.000 for airfare is a little hopeful...things have gone up. Merpati is around 750.000 return kids same, Trigana about 570.000rtn. Both can be booked at the domestic side of the airport or thru your hotel. They usually add at least 100.000 to the ticket. If you want to buy pottery the best village is Penujak, they ship around the world, and huge selection. Its on the way down to Novotel in Kuta (Lom) beautiful hotel and great place to stay. There are the most amazing beaches in the area.After Penujak you then go thru the traditional village of Sade...kind of commercialised now but you do get a very vivid picture of Sasak life. By the way you said "if you decide to stay". To get to Penujak from the airport is around 1.5hrs. There is few choices of flights....You may be lucky to get a am flight anyway. Lombok Lovers is a great site for info...if your interested in Novotel let me know seregig@hotmail.com cos I can get very good rates.Enjoy...its the most beautiful place!!
