Aunty Becca – Mountains and Monkeys

As we had made our way to Lovina via the Pupuan road, we decided the return journey to Kuta should take us around Mount Tapak and through the three great lakes Tamblingan, Buyan and Beratan. The winding road up from Singaraja to the first lake brought many laughs and gasps of wonder at the ever [...]

Going back to Balian for a week from Monday 11-08-08

We are going back to Balian for a week, so that Tehya can play with a few friends and to get away from Kuta, as we seem to have managed very little since being here in the last 3 weeks. We have had a few phone calls from Dan, Oble and family asking when we [...]

The Journey To Lovina
We set off from Balian and travelled North West towards Gilimanuk. The trip took a little longer than going direct through the mountains, but as we had made the journey through the mountains a few days previously we decided to explore a new route. The road [...]

Tickets to Bali and Broken cameras!!!!

We have had a relaxing week since arriving here in Penang – on the whole it has been fun and chilled. We visited the 60th floor of the Komtar to see the amazing views of Penang. We certainly weren’t disappointed with the views (cost 15RM each) but sad to see the dilapidated state of the [...]

Penang on the West coast of Malaysia

Map of Penang on the west coast of Northern Malaysia
The bus journey over was uneventful and relatively easy for us – which makes a change. Usually bus journeys (or any kind of moving transportation) tend to be total nightmare. This did go uncharacteristically smoothly….. We drove through beautiful mountains covered with [...]

Pulau Kecil Perhentian – The small island

17/04/08 Getting the boat from the jetty at Kuala Besut was easy and very straight forward. It all seemed arranged to almost military accuracy. There are apparently no slow boats running any more and the fast boats leave regularly. Tehya enjoyed the ride over, with big smiles – she said the wind kept going [...]
