Pratiwi enjoying her street breakfast. As I have said before, looks remarkably similar to lunch or dinner!

Saturday 14 March 2015

Pratiwi trying to figure out what's going on with the millions of Rupiah in our group's kitty. Confusing! wink

Saturday 14 March 2015

Lunch at Djun, Jogjakarta. Hot, hot, hot! I've taken to drinking sweet tea to cool down! Very nice for $2.65/person!

Friday 13 March 2015

Arrived in Jogjakarta. No nonsense approach to leaving the station. Then crammed into a small taxi. Still having fun!

Friday 13 March 2015

Decided to take a train from Surabaya to Yogyakarta. Stations either end were surprisingly 'normal'. Here's Surabaya.

Thursday 12 March 2015

They grow a lot of fruit around Malang, so we visited an Orchard. As you do. There were apples here & everything! wink

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!

Monday 9 March 2015

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

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.

Wednesday 4 March 2015

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

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

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

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

Saturday 3 January 2015

Ordered pork for dinner. Didn't expect a ¼ pig! Can't move now, don't suppose giant bowl of gnocchi helped. Burp! wink

Thursday 7 August 2014

Lunch in Placa Reial. It's Spain so paella on the menu despite temps in the late 30s. Sizzle! Lucky there's beer too!

Thursday 7 August 2014

Rather overcast day at Park Guell. Terrible light for pics so cue some random tourist stuff. Spot the silly selfie wink

Tuesday 5 August 2014

Heading back to the car. Last mountain walk of the holiday & it's been a cracker! It's even nice walking on the road!

Tuesday 5 August 2014

Pratiwi was dreaming of splashing about in a mountain stream all day. Brrr, icy! I showed her how to relax instead wink

Tuesday 5 August 2014

Heading back to the start. These views are even better when you don't have to keep turning round to look at them! smile

Tuesday 5 August 2014

Lunch spot: Refugi de Juclar. Nippy at around 2300m up. Lake next door would be prettier if it hadn't been drained sad

Tuesday 5 August 2014

The walk proper starts as we turn to follow the Riu de Juclar. Many waterfalls on this section. Simply stunning!

Monday 4 August 2014

Relaxing on a sunny hotel terrace in Soldeu. Ahhhhh..... smile

Monday 4 August 2014

Heading up to Andorra. That road is the N20 from Ax-les-Thermes from whence we came. Yes... slightly entertaining wink

Sunday 3 August 2014

Little stroll to Belvedere du Diable this morning. Nice view, but really rather humid. #WePreferHighMountains smile

Saturday 2 August 2014

Pratiwi can always eat another duck. I order salad to be healthy, which comes loaded with prosciutto & feta. Oops wink

Saturday 2 August 2014

Rennes-le-Chateau: famous for a little tower & church, & conspiracy theories leading to a mention in several novels.

Saturday 2 August 2014

Wondering round Quillan like tourists to get the day started. Overheard lots of English being spoken in that market.

Friday 1 August 2014

Back in France. Straight to the supermarche to pick up lunch. Then the obligatory picnic stop by a sunflower field smile

Friday 1 August 2014

Pratiwi likes the breakfast one is served in an English country B&B. And I should hope so! Nom, nom, nom! tongue

Wednesday 30 July 2014

Random col on today's drive. This is the Col de Port. Bit chilly up here for the middle of summer! Brrrrrr!

Tuesday 29 July 2014

Tourist snaps in Seix, Ariege. We were going to hike to the nearby cascade but this was only break in a rainy day sad

Sunday 27 July 2014

Time to head home. Past the lakes, amazing views, waterfall, cattle (mooooo!) and the rest.

Sunday 27 July 2014

Passing the middle of the lacs d'Ayous. This is the rather tiny lac du Miey... and 'puddle' next to it wink

Saturday 26 July 2014

Dinner in Laruns. Oh look, some kind of thick soup dish with half a roast duck thrown in for good measure! Nom, nom!

Thursday 24 July 2014

Pratiwi, 'chopper boy' & the 'roo shouting at @AndreGreipel. Hope the Aussie theme wasn't confusing - we love Andre!

Thursday 24 July 2014

Pratiwi on the walk up Hautacam & shady bank where we chose to wait. Great spot. Pays to start early (9am at bottom).

Wednesday 23 July 2014

An easy walk today to Lac de Soum. Not sure what the waving of baguette pieces is about. Maybe Pratiwi was hungry? wink

Tuesday 22 July 2014

Lots of mountain flowers up high (these above the cabin we were officially walking to). I think these are Iris, yes?

Tuesday 22 July 2014

More views on our hike up to Cabane de Bouleste.

Tuesday 22 July 2014

On the way to Cabane de Bouleste. Pratiwi doesn't trust me to take enough pictures of the stunning scenary. WTF?! wink

Tuesday 22 July 2014

Heading out on today's hike. Starting by Lac du Tech, we soon warmed up in the morning sun. Such a beautiful place.

Sunday 20 July 2014

Our route from Spain to this week's accommodation took us over the Aubisque/Soulor. Tragic huh? #MaybeItWasPlanned wink

Sunday 20 July 2014

Messing about at Col d'Aubisque. Pratiwi so excited to be back in France couldn't help herself around the bike! wink

Saturday 19 July 2014

Spanish breakfast. Lots of beautiful prosciutto & other meats, & some sweet cakes. Yum! Lucky we had that walk first!

Saturday 5 July 2014

Pratiwi can't wait to cheer all Aussie riders on Hautacam, Jul 24. & before we fly on @CyclingCentral! Me neither! grin

Monday 21 April 2014

The view down to Kangaroo Valley from 'Tourist Drive 7' (yes, that is the name of the road). So green. We like!

Monday 21 April 2014

Easter Monday coffee stop at Mt Cambewarra. Was a lot clearer when I rode up. Moral: cycling always bests driving! grin

Monday 21 April 2014

You know it's a great location when car hasn't had to move from this spot since arriving Thursday night! #HeadingHome
