Welcome to Lombok, Indonesia

Lombok was the 7th and final stop on our cruise from Auckland, New Zealand before ending in Bali.  

We took a several hour ships excursion to visit a cultural center, a local market, and an ancient temple still in use. Lombok is primarily a Muslim island and there were beautiful Mosques everywhere.  Street vendors are a major way of life.   At almost 4 million residents it is a big island community.
