We started off in Kuta Beach, Bali. A crazy, swarming place. Just totes everywhere trying to sell you everything from a massage to a snorkeling trip to a simple pineapple. Its just go go go...

We left the madness behind (best to leave the shopping till the end 😊 and where off to Ubud. A artistic place inland by about 3 hours. One of the highlights was a visit to the monkey sanctuary. A huge series of ancient temples in a jungle setting, swarming with monkeys. Don't think I have ever seen so many in my life! Lets just say we got a little trigger happy that day. Went walking through working rice paddy's and it was good to get a little of the super touristy main road and see the real people at work. Stunning bead work all over town - those of you who know my penchant for beads can imagine how I loved that!

After our time in the Gili's it was up to Lovina, which is right in the North of Bali. Black sand beaches, amazing sunsets and a really lazy, lovely few days lying by a pool. Sometimes a holiday from a holiday

why can't my rucksack be bigger??
is in order! 😊

Spent a few days in Sanur, nice beach again - but felt like we were in the middle of a convention for middle age German tourists! So we were off to Kuta again for a last few days of body surfing in waves, shopping and chilling.

Next stop Singapore and Malaysia. Bye for now....
