Quake victims in our thoughts

I’VE I been reading about Lombok, the t Indonesian island where they’ve t been struggling with the aftermath a of a series of earthquakes for over a month (left). It was the place Lisa and I chose for our holiday this summer. W We decided we wanted a break which combined a great climate with some activity. They do bike tours around the volcanoes and we headed out to the the Gilis, the archipelago of three coral islands off Lombok’s north-west coast. It was when we were back home that the first earthquake struck and the clean-up has been affected in the past four weeks by thousands of aftershocks, including one almost as big as the original quake. Over 500 people have died. Our hosts out there were such wonderful people. It’s impossible not to think of them and hope that they’re coping.
