Few random hillsides we passed. Amazing how locals get terraces on these. Was same (or even more crazy) around Bromo.
Thursday 12 March 2015
Monkeys at Coban Rondo. Thankfully well behaved. Some tourist spots they will literally take the shirt off your back!
Thursday 12 March 2015
More than just a waterfall - short but nice forest walk to get there. Too short really though, I'd gladly see more.
Thursday 12 March 2015
At Coban Rondo. That spray was refreshing 
Wednesday 11 March 2015
Bakso dinner, Indonesian take on meat balls. I steered clear of chilli. Wise move as everyone else was ill next day!
Wednesday 11 March 2015
After spending all morning shooting in rain improvised lens drying kit: 1kg of rice & an airtight bag. Seems to work.
Wednesday 11 March 2015
Back at hotel not long after 9am. Could have had a lie in & seen this. Would have missed out on all the fun though 
Wednesday 11 March 2015
Such a grey day deserves a set of B&W shots. Amazing experience though & easily worth early start & wet conditions.
Wednesday 11 March 2015
Final area of Mt Bromo crater: volcanic sands said to whisper, when they are not soaked! + more FJ40s for their fans.
Wednesday 11 March 2015
6 guests, driver & guide squeezed into an FJ40. Sitting in back an old Landcruiser always feels like an adventure 
Wednesday 11 March 2015
Savannah section of the Mt Bromo crater. Apparently it's beautiful & green here even when not raining constantly
Wednesday 11 March 2015
Despite the inclement weather took short (~30 mins) walk up to rim of Mt Bromo... where it was equally grey & wet!
Wednesday 11 March 2015
A small glimmer of sun on an otherwise rainy day & here's the result. So there is some consolation to this weather!
Wednesday 11 March 2015
Bit of a melee down at the base of the volcano. Rain & mist persisting too. Top spot for fans of Toyota FJ40s though!
Wednesday 11 March 2015
Escaping to below the mist. Down in the crater that surrounds Mt Bromo, obligatory 'sitting on the bonnet' 4WD shot.
Wednesday 11 March 2015
2am wakeup for 4WD journey up a mountain to see sunrise. But all we saw was mist. Oh well, had a good time waiting
Tuesday 10 March 2015
Fantastic lunch in Ikan Bakar Cianjur. All for the princely sum of $4.50/person. Love Indonesia... while I'm well!
Tuesday 10 March 2015
Bandung airport. No jet bridges here. When 2 planes board at same time, just remember to get on the correct one!
Tuesday 10 March 2015
The Victoria Luxurious Guesthouse, Bandung. Beautiful lobby. Really well presented. We loved it
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
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! 
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
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 #MissMyBike 
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
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!
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
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!
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!
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!
Saturday 28 February 2015
It's been a hectic few weeks, but finally had time to stop & smell the flowers this morning. Ahhhh... Finally!
Friday 27 February 2015
Well, I hope this isn't a dream or Monday is going to be a bitch! #LastDayAtWork #IsItADream #CommandLineHumour
Friday 27 February 2015
I guess there are some things to miss about this place. Maybe I should just leave more often? #LastDay #MorningTea
Friday 27 February 2015
Is this a sign? Where's that link to online check in?! #Rain #DontCare #StillBestDayEver #LastDayAtWork
