Where Beagles Dare Breathless I must say after reading your discourse...was it a mournful song or an uplifting lament? It was about Bali after all...where reputations implode or strive to remain intact...where to survive is a trophy or just another Aussie's track. How would I know? I've never been there on purpose. But love that everyone has a different perspective...which is why I enjoyed your search for Bali's distract. Great blog.
Size matters You are absolutely right about the shady deals with banks and accessing OUR money overseas - we know we are being shafted but grin and bear it! :( As a short arse who lives and travels with a reasonably tall person, I can reliably advise that there are pros and cons to both physiques; however the odds are definitely stacked much higher in my favour on planes and in Asia :)
Top Tip... For those based in Australia I'd highly recommend the Citibank Plus Transaction account for ATMs, and the 28 Degrees credit card. Both charge zero fees at the Australian end, and (especially outside Asia) often no fee at all... obviously traitors to their banking colleagues!
Congratulations on your 10th Anniversary... I was on the road when you published this blog so missed it until now. I'll have to think of an appropriate blog for my 10th anniversary in March. I'm sure it won't be as humorous as yours!
Holy Man or Ignorant Privileged Dickhead? "If you really did have a time machine would you choose to travel forward into the unknown, or back to simpler times? Or stay exactly where you are, save all that time and effort inventing the damn thing in the first place and just chill out, enjoy life." My answer is ALL OF THE ABOVE! Great blog. I've been saving a few of my fav bloggers latest for when I can sit back and savour them. You always make me chuckle. Thanks.
good to know about your tour Hello ! no daubt that it's a decant post , Bali really a good place for holidays & you have to describe good information about Bali . Thanks for share your information. http://www.europegrouptrip.com/
Those eyes... This little guy melted my heart! I laughed at your description of the fixer - that special breed of human exists in some shady shape or form in every country we've visited :)
Beautiful Maria I live in Triabunna and operate the coffee van at the wharf where the ferry for Maria Island leaves from .
We see everyone who boards the ferry and unlike the convicts that departed from here for the island between 1825 and 1850 they are all excited to be going.
Unfortunately, as you found out, occasionally there are school groups who have excursions to the island and as kids are they can be a little rowdy.
On the visitors return, be it after a day trip or a weeks camping, we have not heard from anyone who was disappointed with their visit and many vow to return for a longer stay.
PS. The devils are still doing very well without any sign of disease.
Safe travels. Tom
Second cheapest wine Unfortunately Ive been told by a marketing consultant friend that the second cheapest wine is always the worst one. Apparently people never choose the cheapest in order to avoid appearing, well, cheap, so restaurants cash in! Great approach to destinations and attractions though, and made for a really entertaining blog- thanks!
Tassie I enjoyed this blog about my adopted home, and yes I can confirm that it gets very properly cold and wet here :) I was interested to read your thoughts on MONA after I saw the art photo...did you go?
MONA MONA was,.... Interesting! I liked it, Debbie not so keen, but still a fun day out due to the ferry ride, markets and wine- bar! The whole place is made all the more surreal by being in Hobart, not not, say New York or Paris...
I think all your pictures are winners! Thanks to your blog, now PNG has been added to my bucketlist. Sigh. The list is getting very long! #notreallyaproblem
Papua New Guiena This was on our travel plan in 2007 and plans changed. We are still longing to go. Fantastic blog.Your underwater photos are fantastic! Love this.
Now, That's life! Beautiful photos! Stunning shots in every single blog of yours! Really Fabulous! Thank you for sharing! Makes me wanna take photography lessons!
They say your whole life flashes before your eyes just before you die.
But the big question is, will it be worth watching?
Andy & Debbie have been traversing the globe for twenty-odd years in search of the answers to Life, the Universe and Everything.
From all the signs so far it's unlikely to be 42, though in fairness, we've yet to come up with a better figure...
