Jimbaran Beach once the sun has set... & what happens when your tripod (aka wife) moves mid shot Goodnight Bali!
Last eve in Bali? What else but Jimberan Beach sunset? Tried a new spot but prefer Menega Cafe. Back there next time!
Bali Bakery 'v' Holland Bakery. Which is the best Cheesy John in Bali? We vote... drum roll... Holland Bakery!
Well... that's the afternoon sorted then! How's this for an infinite edge pool? Straight into a rainforest canopy!
Down by the river at Maya Ubud. So beautiful here - we love it
Found this fella during our post breakie walk. No macro lens so had to make do Luckily tho, he was pretty slow!
Ah, the resort breakfast buffet. Course one of, erm, maybe I shouldn't say! Although I was in the gym earlier!
Cocktails & dinner at Maya Ubud. Yum! Maybe we're biased, but truly worth it's five star rating. Excellent all round!
Fooling around with selfies. Please forgive us, but this is the very spot where we were married. Happy memories
Looking at Pratiwi was a bit hot arriving at Maya Ubud! Thankful for an upgrade w/private plunge pool. Ah... cooling!
Look at all that fresh fish & meat. Easy to see why one has to be up early to see it! Lovely colours. So interesting.
Early on at the 'outside' bit of Ubud market. Lots of flowers & the little religious offerings one sees everywhere.
Up early to visit Ubud market before tourist trash comes out. Priorities for Pratiwi though: breakie like a local!
Time for dessert: pisang goreng cooked on the street. Yum! Look at the size of that wok, think this is popular stuff!
Random sights from our evening walk in Ubud. Didn't even see that dragonfly there, I just liked the light. Honest!
Plenty of rice paddies around Ubud, & many with ducks in them on an eve. So funny to watch & so cute & sooo yummy!
Clouds lifted a bit after a little snack. Still a bit dull, but wow! Tegalalang terraces in the mist. Added interest!
Arrived at Tegalalang to see rice terraces. Sadly clouds had other ideas, so nothing for it but to eat more pork!
Went to Bedugul Botanical Garden & it rained lots! Probably too many pictures here featuring an umbrella Nice tho.
Pura Ulun Danu Bratan. Beautiful spot by the water. If only it were sunny! Love the repetition of those mosaic steps.
Just back from breakie looked out the window to see amazing light on the lake. Wow! It's so beautiful here. So lucky!
Back down by the lake this morning. I dragged Pratiwi along this time. But then again, sun is up so not that early
Could get used to this Nyepi thing We're at Puri Candikuning Resort & practically have whole place to ourselves!
Nyepi day in Bali. Silent at dawn. We cannot leave hotel today so booked one with large grounds. So beautiful here.
We saw some really big 'ogoh ogoh' driving around today. These in Bedugul equally impressive! Pre-Nyepi day parade!
Either Pratiwi has shrunk or accommodation today is slightly oversized! And wait 'til you see the view! Love it!
On the road to Bedugul... view from what was almost a mountain pass we crested. Would have been nice on a bike!
Lunch stop at 'Depot Betty' as we head North. Really great food & nicely priced as is away from tourist spots
Woke up too early so went for a short walk outside the villa. We're surrounded by rice paddies soooo...
There comes a time one simply can't eat more fried banana. Luckily, cafes, tea & cake are here for such moments
After a hard day relaxing & being pampered it's nice to... erm... relax some more Dinner at Bebek Bengil. Yum!
Enjoying the morning view from our balcony. This is Onje Villa, Ubud. Quiet & relaxing & really rather good value
Dinner at Murni's Warung. Sorry, it's been a long day. Well, for some, who were up running at sunrise if you recall!
Typical Ubud sights: guardian statues & flowers. So typical I didn't even get out of the car to take first pic
Whilst in Ubud we must have an obligatory lunch stop at Ibu Oka. Hmmmm... babi guling!
Back by the beach, this time Benoa. You know what that means? More jogging at dawn, with breaks for pictures
After sunset... time for the food. Yum! And the obligatory 'seafood cooking over smoking coconut husks' shot
Another unbelievable sunset on Jimbaran Beach. Say no more...
Pre-dinner drinks at Menega Cafe. Waiting for the sunset 'show' to begin...
Wow! DPS reno is great! Last time we were here was so hot & uncomfortable someone passed out waiting for immigration!
Oooh... free upgrade to 'premium' seats on our AirAsia flight. Can you tell? Amazingly there is a tiny difference!
Fried duck lunch, with some interesting fruit from our trip to the market. Then more fried banana for desert. Yum!
Jogjakarta bird market. Some pets, some food, some fighters. Many other animals too. All seems a bit cruel though
Scenes from a small market in Jogjakarta. And some that we passed while wondering along in the heat beforehand. Phew!
How to secure your becak with a single padlock. Clever stuff.
Pratiwi enjoying her street breakfast. As I have said before, looks remarkably similar to lunch or dinner!
Fanatical Manchester United fan spotted in Jogjakarta. Clearly loving riding around on his mobile shrine. Crazy!
Local transport in Jogjakarta: the becak. Comes in both motorised & pedal powered forms for locals & tourists alike.
Stepped out for a spot of dinner in Jogjakarta. Pork sate & other goodies on the streets around Malioboro. Yum!
Hmmmm... I'm not sure there is enough ginger in this ginger tea. What do you think?
