I really am a big fan of Indonesian humour from "Eat, Pay, Leave" to this beauty below! This was taken at El Kabron at Padang Padang, South Bali. In contrast with this photo below, it really is worth a visit!

I took a walk to Tempak Sering on Wednesday and on the way I saw this snake which had been run over. It amazes me! It actually looks 3D! How uncanny!

We
all feel a little small at times and Borobudur is certainly one of those

Just

There’s nothing like hanging out at my fave (use the whole
word! How much time do you think you’re saving!!!) spot, Moko’s in Ubud. It is

and dance ... Read more >

Oh Bali how you tease;
Your lanterns are comfort For the lonely heart, Your mountains caress my mind,
Your rainy tears
Devour the sunshine
And the sun warms my soul

Moves me

So you could say I came to Bali for the food. Nasi Goreng, served with an egg on top and a couple of sate chicken kebabs on the side is perfect for when you find yourself or 'on the nasi' or low on money. I do love a good Beef Rendang; spicy, coconut ... Read more >
