Beer & pizza at Memory Cafe, Ellmau. Delicious! Place seems to be frequented by stars, so got a selfie with Arnie!
Little jolly to look at Hintersteiner See. There are llamas at home too, but somehow more exciting here
Playing in the snow with little people...
Few beers & dinner with the family @ Alter Keller. Delicious food & good times. Definitely worth the 4,000km drive!
Happy snaps with the fam in a very Christmassy Rothenburg ob der Tauber.
Little stroll in Rothenburg ob der Tauber. Cold & grey, so good excuse to visit a local tavern! Cheers!
Dinner at O Polar, Funchal. More superb meat - this time steak skewers & roast chicken. And dessert of course Nom!
Sunset dinner at the Sabor aMar Fish Factory. Calamari, mussels, octopus, swordfish, cheesecake. Nom, nom, nom!
Miradouros do Paredao... clouds rolling by & the view changing literally by the second. Very cool!
A lookout on the way to erm, another lookout. This is Miradouro da Malhada & view down into river Socorridos gorge.
Another random stop, this time for coffee, cakes, meat pasty & you never can eat too much caco de bolo in Madeira!
Lunch @ Abrigo do Pastor. Calves liver, garlic pork, suckling pig, venison stew, chocolate mousse, tiramisu. Amazing!
Late lunch by the sea. My tuna picado (traditional Madeiran dish) was amazing! Rest not that bad either Nom!
Natural(ish) swimming pools at Porto Moniz. For me, wasn't really hot enough to warrant a swim & was rather nippy in!
Family feast of Chinese takeaway. Dad never made dessert when I was a kid but his cheesecake was amazing. Well done!
Walkies with dad. School XC runs used to go round/through these waters in sleet & freezing rain. Fun memories!?!
Last dinner with Meli, Dody & Sam. Been a great week but go our separate ways tomorrow. Happy & sad at the same time.
Watching Suwardi siblings order takeaway is hilarious For them it's: Serious? Exciting? Pensive? All the above?
Was told we'd be gift shopping with Pratiwi's brother & sister today. So why am I in a bakery? Rhetorical question
Short meander around Tegallalang rice terrace. Steep as you'd imagine. Hot. Humid. Sweaty. But well worth the effort.
Lunch at Grand Puncak Sari, Kintamani. Breathtaking views + as much as you can eat = spent quite some time here!
Obligatory visit to kopi luwak degustation. I prefer the hot chocolate & tea TBH. Coffee fans seem impressed though.
Wonderful lunch at Warong Legong. As I joked: would you like some fried chicken with your chilli? Superbly spicy!
Snorkeling at Blue Lagoon, Bali. Very pleasantly surprised by quality of the site. Sorry, no U/W pics though. Doh!
More of Pratiwi's family joined us today... any excuse for a feast, right? Huge takeaway from Wong Solo. Nom!
Today's lunch: more babi guling & satay from another resto. 3 different pork nibbles. Many tropical fruits to finish.
Sunset stroll along Sanur beachfront, mostly to enjoy the pretty lights on hotels & restaurants. Ooooh... sparkly!
Lunch of fried chicken, soup & salad from Ayam Goreng Suharti + babi guling (pork) from second random local warung.
After breakie by the beach... picked up a few more dishes to take home for an early lunch. Holiday theme emerging?
Family dinner at Warung Blanjong. Waaay too fancy to call itself a warung TBH but great food so we'll let them off
Dinner with the sis again! At one of our local faves. Great food on the terrace. Never disappoints. Nom, nom, nom!
Dinner with sis who's more into wine than smiling for a selfie Frogs legs, 7hr leg of lamb & soft choco cake. Nom!
Erm, wasn't I just here? Sightseeing with olds on Col de la Colombiere. Kiddy seat bonus: I get a beer. Cheers!
Olds insist on taking us out for dinner. Who are we to argue? Beautiful food on an Alpine terrace. Nom, nom, nom!
What's this?! Dinner with old folk on the terrace of an Alpine chalet. Cheers everyone - thanks for having us!
