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 – 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 […]

Sanur 20 December

I had some trouble with my blog editor last night so I am giving a new one a go. We got to our hotel just after 11pm last night. We’d landed just after 8 but our luggage took over an hour to come up the carousel, we couldn’t find our driver despite he and I […]

Bali for Christmas – Travel Day

Stu and i are off to have Christmas on Bali. For the last couple of Christmases we have spent Christmas away from each other with me in Canberra and Stu in Brisbane. This year we decided we would spend it together (a little selfish I know). We were supposed to fly out at 10 this […]

Day 39 – Helter Skelter

Helter Skelter describes how the time on this holiday is going and what Charles Manson called his “war” between races which he believed he was starting. There are no pictures today but we had a really interesting morning none the less. We went to a restaurant that has typical American diner breakfast food except all […]
