Denpasar You Did OK Right – nothing much to report about the airport on departure more stampy stampy from the officials then through not one but two security checks and then off we go airside to view the duty free, not much of excitement to tell you other than it was the usual collection of […]

The Journey to Ryanair Hotel Well another transfer day today, this one by road, we leave the high culture and temporary immersion into Balinese life in the villages and head straight for low culture – hedonism heaven in the form of Kuta. You will recall our brief trip their last week and the resulting hangover […]

Craig at Odds with Nature So today we thought we would get up quite early and have an hour by the pool shower and then go out on some cultural adventures. I get up first and, as I cannot function in the morning until I have had my first cup of coffee, I go out […]

Sashaying to Sanur Arrived to a beautiful sunset (see earlier pic) and I managed to grab a shot of it with my iphone, hence its poor quality. That was a nice touch and thank you for arranging that God I am glad you got my e-mail in time. If you want to arrange special sunsets […]

So farewell then KL The Malays have done a darn good job with their country since kicking out the Brits in 1957. On the way back from the airport (in an ’executive’ taxi , as they describe it, but more of that later) I was struck at how green and lush the lands are and […]

Kalied in KL – The Experience KL has been fun in a completely and utterly different way than HK was (sorry for keep using acronyms – I am not being hip, just a lazy typist, and Hong Kong is hard for me to get right on a keyboard first time) . It has all the […]
