INDONESIA - Lombok - Senggigi

Senggigi is situated on the west coast of the Indonesian island of Lombok - stretching several kilometers along the beachfront, beginning just north of the capital Mataram. Senggigi developed in a building frenzy in the late 1990s when Lombok was hyped to be the next Bali. However the communal violence in 2000/01 and the 2002 Bali bombing dealt Senggigi a severe blow, with tourist numbers declining rapidly. Now the area slowly is coming back to life - also due to its proximity the the popular Gili Islands. March 2013. bRaNdSboRg.CoM
