Beautiful day, a gift for the traveller… ~ Indonesian Proverb HE SAID... Today we were exploring the atmospheric city of Yogyakartaand its surrounds. We woke early and aimed to fuel-up with a big breakfast, but time was against us, so I opted for a more moderate spread of cornflakes, black rice porridge with coconut milk, omelette with hot chilli sambal, mini cr ... read more

This blog documents the feeding of our travel addiction - one country at a time. Travel is an essential part of our life, and we'll continue to travel until our addiction wanes (which probably won't be in this lifetime)! The more we travel, the more we see; and the more we see, the more we understand that we know so little - which is a brilliant thing. We love the little corner of south eastern Australia we call home, but we are at our happiest when throwing ourselves into a new adventure and experiencing new cultures.

I love Borobodur
When I visited Borobodur a young woman came up to me and wanted to practise her English. It was not a scam, she really had no hidden agenda. All she wanted was to practise English.

That's a nice memory. /Ake
