Roaming London like a couple of backpackers wink In past life I would walk through Liverpool St station daily. Surreal!

Lunch at Royal China in Bayswater. Deep fried duck rolls. Say. No. More! Plus other goodies. Yuuuum! tongue :P tongue

When one is in London, one must partake in dinner in Mayfair, darling. Pies & beer & silliness at The Windmill. Yum!

Messing about in a German Ikea. Could we live in a 55m² apartment? Yes, as long as we don't have too many pillows! wink

Passing through Speyer so stopped for quick walk. There's a huge Cathedral here but it's quite plain inside.

Looking at Pratiwi was a bit hot arriving at Maya Ubud! Thankful for an upgrade w/private plunge pool. Ah... cooling!

Up early to visit Ubud market before tourist trash comes out. Priorities for Pratiwi though: breakie like a local!

Monday 23 March 2015

Time for dessert: pisang goreng cooked on the street. Yum! Look at the size of that wok, think this is popular stuff!

Sunday 22 March 2015

Arrived at Tegalalang to see rice terraces. Sadly clouds had other ideas, so nothing for it but to eat more pork! wink

Sunday 22 March 2015

Back down by the lake this morning. I dragged Pratiwi along this time. But then again, sun is up so not that early wink
