So it's been awhile and this is my last post before we head home tomorrow morning. Although I haven't written in over a week, I figured I better finish off the trip by writing something. The last week has been a perfect ending to our trip (yes, despite the enticing prospects of becoming surfer bums and living in bali sipping banana milkshakes for the rest of our lives, we have decided to come home). From Sanur, we went back to Seminyak and Kuta beach. Although we had spent 5 days here previously, we needed to make up our surf lessons that we missed, and really you can never enjoy enough beach time. Over the last week we have taken advantage of many of the great restaurants that Seminyak has to offer, which has been really tasty. ... read more

We've spent most of yesterday and today hanging around the pool at our hotel. The majority of our routine has rotated between sunbathing, napping, swimming and getting more drinks. It's the rough life, I know. Today I was reflecting that every single late night at the Sultan was absolutely worth it to be able to take in this little bit of Paradise. The last couple of days have also been low key because we've spent both mornings going back to the clinic for follow-up on Adam's arm.

The following day (yesterday), it did mature so we ... read more

Beautiful Bali Saturday 31st January 2009 Last Saturday we were snorkelling on the Great Barrier Reef and now we are sitting in a shady tropical Balinese garden; it requires quite a cultural adjustment. We are staying in a “losman” (small traditional hotel around a courtyard garden) in Seminyak on the south west coast of Bali about 5 kilometres north of the tourist hub of Kuta. It is beautiful, laid back, chilled, hot, humid, and exhausting! The hotel is adorned with stone sculptures, wooden Hindu goddesses covered in gilt, woven bamboo screens and wooden roof tiles. It is old; a little jaded around the edges, cheap and absolutely charming, as are the owners and staff, charming that is, not old and jaded! We are on the second floor with views to the mountains (only seen between the ... read more
