Tangkahan to Lake Toba It was time to leave Tangkahan for the trip south to Lake Toba. We knew what we were in for thanks to our trip in. However, we also were aware of how much rain we had the night before. This we figured, might have some bearing on the condition of the […]
Welcome to the Jungle We had a 10 day gap between our House/Dog Sit assignment in KL. We so thought that we would grab the opportunity for a trip over to the jungle in Northern Sumatra. After all, it is only a 1 hour flight to get there. My cousin Carly has been living in […]
Can you do Bali on a budget – we came in under budget and had a blast.
Sindhu Night Market We visited the delicious and traditional Sindhu Night Food Market. The heat, the smoke, the smells and the sounds as a sensory overload – but not in an unpleasant way. As you all know, we love our food. It was a long, leisurely walk for us as we again walked the coastal […]

Menjangan Island After a short journey by road to the harbour, we boarded our boat for the half hour trip out to Menjangan Island. During all my research of Bali, this was a destination I wanted to make sure was on our list of things to do. The island is uninhabited as it is a […]
Farewell Ubud It’s been a week long stay for us in Ubud and it’s time to move on. We would recommend our homestay if you are planning to come Ubud. Ayu Bungalow 2 was located centrally and close to Monkey Forest (not too close for unwanted visitors) and to all the little laneways with family […]
