Bali food

I can’t believe the past few weeks have flown by so quickly. We just arrived back this morning after a 16 hour flight. (Well, it was one flight of 2.45 hours and one flight of 13 hours with an hour in between to be exact). And how pathetic am I to be behind the computer [...]

I first have to apologize for the crappy phone pictures (now replaced!!). It’s the only way I can post here as they have never heard of internet cafe’s in this area, so I have to do with my phone. And frankly; that means I am now writing a post to you overlooking a gorgeous ricefield [...]
