The Victoria Luxurious Guesthouse, Bandung. Beautiful lobby. Really well presented. We loved it smile

Monday 9 March 2015

Dinner at The Valley, Bandung. Quite a special place. The locals joked that it's only really for couples on dates wink

Monday 9 March 2015

Bandung traffic. Perhaps reflective of Indonesia as a whole. Doesn't quite do things justice but you get the idea.

Monday 9 March 2015

Lembang Floating Market. Should include the word, 'food' in it's name because really, just another excuse to eat! tongue

Monday 9 March 2015

Road to Tangkuban Perahu, around 2000m altitude so nice & cool. Beautiful views to greenery below contrasts crater.

Sunday 8 March 2015

Paskal Food Market, Bandung. Actually didn't eat much as still full from earlier! Never mind, great photo ops here smile

Sunday 8 March 2015

Afternoon tea at Ngopi Doeloe, Bandung. Ironically (as we've just left Thailand) I'm drinking Thai tea. Caramel yum!

Sunday 8 March 2015

Breakfast in Jakarta. To the uninitiated looks a lot like every other meal. Rice. Curry. Spicy stuff. It's all good.

Saturday 7 March 2015

Confusing amalgamation of food squares & malls in Jakarta. Not sure where we ended up for dinner but it was nice!

Friday 6 March 2015

Waiting, waiting,waiting... It's not all glamorous you know!

Thursday 5 March 2015

45min gym bike sweat fest + bacon, eggs, rice, sausage, mash, chicken stir fry, pork curry, chicken soup, croissants = equilibrium achieved!

Wednesday 4 March 2015

These 2 posts appeared next to each other in my feed. Coincidence or anther 'thought' experiment? London v Sydney?

Wednesday 4 March 2015

Dinner & shopping in Phuket Town. But mostly dinner. Finished off with durian & beer (yes, beer) from a local grocer.

Wednesday 4 March 2015

Karon beach just after sunrise. Almost makes the jogging bearably wink #MissMyBike cry

Tuesday 3 March 2015

Sat down & ordered dinner 2 mins before world's worst cabaret versus cicada chorus started. Oh well... Can't win them all! #Noisy #AteFast

Tuesday 3 March 2015

Sunset pre-dinner walk along Karon beach. Sorry about the tourist pics, but I did say there'd be palm trees coming wink

Tuesday 3 March 2015

Karon beach at midday. Umbrellas far as the eye can see but still many lobsters around. Ouch! Not for us until later.

Tuesday 3 March 2015

Wat Chalong. Feels shiny & new. Not at all what we expected from a temple. Very colourful though, hope that shows.

Tuesday 3 March 2015

The Big Buddha. Perched top of a hill you can see this from miles around. Misty below though so no view to speak of.

Monday 2 March 2015

And for desert... Pratiwi could barely stand the wait for her banana pancake! Guy was super speedy too! Yum again! tongue

Monday 2 March 2015

Wondering around few blocks back from Karon Beach. Pratiwi loves street food & on this occasion I have to agree! Yum!

Sunday 1 March 2015

To be honest we've had better Thai food. But it's not like that's why we chose this spot. 'The Corner', Kamala Beach.

Sunday 1 March 2015

Obligatory, 'sunset on the beach', holiday snap. Sorry... I'll put some palm leaf silhouettes in the next one wink

Sunday 1 March 2015

Little stroll before pre-dinner drinks, Kamala beach. It's pretty small as I managed to jog end to end this morning!

Sunday 1 March 2015

Jog on the beach, dip in the pool, big buffet breakie, no further plans... This is getting dangerously close to feeling like a holiday! grin

Saturday 28 February 2015

Get to hotel, check in, go out for dinner, find Omloop #OHN on TV at bar next door. See Stannard monster the Belgiums. What's not to love!?

Saturday 28 February 2015

Can't think why we chose this restaurant. At least while Pratiwi is engrossed in menu there's some entertainment! wink

Saturday 28 February 2015

Space for 3 more bikes & year's worth of luggage? Pratiwi didn't think it would fit. But with a little magic: Yes! grin

Saturday 28 February 2015

It's been a hectic few weeks, but finally had time to stop & smell the flowers this morning. Ahhhh... Finally! grin

Friday 27 February 2015

Well, I hope this isn't a dream or Monday is going to be a bitch! wink #LastDayAtWork #IsItADream #CommandLineHumour grin

Friday 27 February 2015

I guess there are some things to miss about this place. Maybe I should just leave more often? wink #LastDay #MorningTea

Friday 27 February 2015

Is this a sign? Where's that link to online check in?! wink #Rain #DontCare #StillBestDayEver #LastDayAtWork grin

Thursday 26 February 2015

Today's lunch: Hot & cold & spicy & refreshing. Nice!

Thursday 26 February 2015

Yesterday's commute home last Sydney ride for a while. KoM for route via Bobbo (where a few PRs were taken) #MadeItCount #NextRideEurope grin

Wednesday 25 February 2015

Comments from my colleagues: "You look like the cat that got the cream", "Why are you so happy?", "Look at smilie, smilie Robin!" smile grin wink

Saturday 21 February 2015

Today's website choices: www.carsales.com.au & www.mobile.de Out with the old & in with the new! wink grin

Friday 20 February 2015

So, after last night's fail: Flemish Beef Stew. Yuuuum tongue grin

Thursday 19 February 2015

Tonight: Germany. Tomorrow: Belgium. Doing little 'research' for our upcoming trip. Yeah... right! wink #JustDrinkin tongue

Sunday 15 February 2015

That's it! We are officially homeless! However, our 1st 'holiday' spot is pretty nice tho. Will share some pics when brain is working again!

Tearing up old shirts for rags (a cyclist can never have too many rags)... brilliant stress relief. But think I'll stop after two. #calm smile

Monday 9 February 2015

Dear friends, selling our car this week: Honda Jazz. MY12. Silver. Manual. 5700km only! Immaculate condition. Mates Rates: $12.5k or offers.

Sunday 25 January 2015

Sit in red zone until you think can't handle 1 second more. Then hold 1, 5, 10 minutes. Then repeat & repeat. Definition of pain or fun? wink

Sunday 18 January 2015

Went riding w/friends 'later' today because it was going to be 'cold'. 90km at 30km/h average done. Around 30° avg. Lovely conditions grin wink

Saturday 17 January 2015

Why are bars creaking? Strip/grease/tighten/CRACK! Erm, that's it! Luckily found nice carbon spare in my parts bin smile

Thursday 15 January 2015

Perfect birthday dinner. Yes, I had to eat half of Pratiwi's which is why I only ordered a snack wink Nom, nom, nom! tongue

Thursday 15 January 2015

Great day: just 65km on bike, plus work. Couple beers, sausages & half rack of ribs for dinner left me stuffed. In both senses! Cheers! grin

Sunday 11 January 2015

Absolutely stoked for Haussler at Aussie #RoadNats. Long time getting back to form. Hope next victory isn't so long coming. Hint: Classics!

Sunday 11 January 2015

10km of #roadnats left. Wonder how many ads @channelnine @GEMChannel can fit in? I'm begging you guys. None please! @CyclingAus
