To get there I had to get a 4 hour van across Bali - which itself is a fairly isolated Island on the Indonesian archipelago - but that isn't important. The van dropped us at this last port.From there we boarded a fast ferry, 8 200 horsepower outboard motors and it still took us about 90 minutes to power across to Gili T. Now coming it was beautiful. You could see beaches and huts, and you just knew it was paradise like. There was no dock on that side. The boat got close and you just waded in. So you walk up the kinda ramp, hours from the nearest proper infrastructure, in the middle of nowhere. A thousand miles from the next Irish speaker. And Bang. Right in front of you. "Tir Na nÓg".

Some of the lower cost operators are genuinely awful to make a claim from and ultimately, if you are going to shell out a rake of cash, it is useful to know that if you have a crash that you are covered. Not suggesting that you allow yourself to be gouged, but like buying a car, don't expect VW performance from a Lada.
