Sightseeing 1:

Jln Tumpang Sari No. 14, Cakranegara, Lombok, Indonesia
Tel: (62) 3706621329

This is one of the popular spot for tourist to get souvenirs for their loved ones. They range from key chains, fridge magnets, flip flop, clothes for kids and adults. The lists can go on and on. I shopped till I almost drop. However, this is my first time ever shopping for souvenirs.

Sightseeing 2:
I went to another souvenir store but not merchandises but food. My relative from Jakarta, suggested me to purchase 'Dodol Ampai Rumput (Dodol means taffy made of sticky rice, coconut milk and palm sugar. While Ampai Rumput means seaweed.)

I end up buying two packets of dodol ampai rumput, 1 packet of seaweed sweets, 1 box of dodol ampai rumput durian, 1 box of tomato sweets, 1 large pack of Lombok crackers. This cause me to figure out how I can squeeze all in one luggage.

Sightseeing 3:

Located the north of Lemar and about six miles south of Mataram.
It is known for the elaborately decorated pots. There are no potters wheels.

Women learn how to shape and mould the pots.
All the pots, vases, plates and jugs are hand drawn.

Before painting

Look at their creativity. Isn't it pretty?
