Sunshine Coast 12/2/21

We had a lovely dinner with Tania and her husband Cam last night. The foods at the Captain’s Daughter was pretty reasonable for the fact the restaurant is in the heart of Peregian. I even had a pink pirate cocktail. This morning Stu went for a run while I caught up on the news. After […]

Peregian 11 Feb 2021

What a crazy 12 months it has been – we haven’t been able to leave Australia since March 2020 and while we were in Bali for Christmas 2019 it all seems so long ago. I also feel very disconnected from the blog because no overseas holidays means no blogging. So 2021 means Australia based holidays. […]

Day 9 – Sanur

The holiday is sadly coming to an end – we fly home tomorrow night and are due to arrive back in Brisbane at 5am on Sunday. This 10 days has gone so quickly. We didn’t have anything planned today so started slowly with breakfast by the beach and a wander along the beach to where […]

Day 8 = Boxing Day 2019

Today is a transit day, we’re returning from Lembongan to Sanur. Our boat is at 10 so we had to get packed and ready by 9. Last night the power across the island was restored so I think those hotels with small to medium generators breathes a sigh of relief. We had also left stuff […]

Day 7 Christmas on Lembongan

Merry Christmas! The island has been without power since about 6 pm last night and is still without power as I write this at 6 am on Boxing Day. The hotels are keeping things going with a massive generator but they are all being pushed to their limits. A number of places have already had […]

Bali Day 6 Christmas Eve

We have absolutely nothing planned today so it’s a rest day, and a rest with Stu you know means a walking day of sorts lol. Stu went for a run this morning and then we headed to a shack where they make proper coffee. The coffee was really good nice and strong, not burnt. The […]

Bali – Island Time

Island time may or may not mean that I’ve lost count lol. Before I start a couple of Harriet pictures from yesterday. Harriet by the pool Harriets Balinese cousin Stu and I were up early for a walk – mind you early is a little pointless though as breakfast is not served until 8. We […]

Bali Day 4

Normally I stay healthy through the whole holiday but this time I’ve come down with a cold. Yesterday in the car I had a scratchy throat and a feeling that my nose was congested. We picked up some a cold and flu stuff last night so hopefully I can keep on keeping on, especially because […]

30000 IDR Nasi Campur

This was $3 at the Sanur night market. Some of the meat was not hot fingers crossed. It was delicious and very spicy. Don’t know what the vegetable was but it was delicious (I thought artichoke Stu said no).

Bali Day 3

Today we had part 1 of our Christmas present from my mum and dad – a driver for the day. We started the day off with some exercise (Stu went for a run and I hit the fitness centre) offset by a hearty buffet breakfast. Our driver Kedak met us in the lobby at 8:15 […]
