As I write this blog from the ‘comforts’ of a Bangkok cafe, awaiting our Myanmar visa which should arrive in the next few hours, I’m struck by the delicate tightrope of fortune that we often walk whilst travelling. On the day we left Indonesia, a large earthquake struck the western shores of Sumatra, just off the coast of Banda Aceh, the place where a 2004 earthquake and subsequent tsunami k... Read Full Entry

We are Amy and Chris. After completing our first attempt at a round the world trip in 2012, we are currently fitting in careers around our enduring need to see the world. Our blog is primarily for family and friends, but we are always flattered to learn that others have read (and on occasion even enjoyed) our writing and photographs. With that said... Afoot and light hearted, I take to the open road. Healthy, free, the world before me. The long brown path before me leading wherever I choose...you road I enter upon and look around!

BEAUTIFUL BLOG
Captured the charm and allure of Indonesia beautifully in your blogs...we confined to Krakatau & Java...but your blogs have inspired us to further isles of Indonesia...so thank you for that. May your travels in Myanamar be safe & rewarding.

Arghhh... when were you in Ubud? I fear we may have been there at the same time but missed each other, a problem when suffering from Blog lag. Your write up of Ubud was spot on. We went direct from Surubaya in Java (via south Bali, by plane) and although Indonesia is relatively more expensive than other SE Asian countries nothing prepared us for the wander up the street in Ubud looking for lunch!!!!!! We must of stopped at about 15 menus before finding the cheapest option, only to then get served portions which wouldn't satiate a starving sparrow!!! :( Weather wasn't great for us either but we did have some short dry spells, enough to get out for a short while on a bike anyway... Enjoy Myanmar, somewhere else on our list for the future. Mike.

We were there around the 12th of Jan
Would have been fun to meet up, but like you say, writers delay! Where did you get to on the bikes?

The long journey continues.
Absolutely stunning photos of portrait pictures, you capture them brilliantly. the chocolate has anti-melt-a-lot ingredients so hasn't got the taste of an English one. Linda and myself love Bangkok and Thailand in general.we meet Michael and Faye there in April for the journey home. You stay safe and enjoy your travels, Regards Paul.

Its funny you mention that
