Yogyakarta

We decided to base ourselves in Yogyakarta and then make day trips to the various tourist sites. We started with Prambanan, about an hour away. It is an old hindu temple, that suffered quite a bit in the latest earthquakes. We realised that we were more...

Java – Ketapang and Sorabaya

After getting my open water certificate, we left Padang Bai in Bali and moved on to Lovina (up north of Bali). We stayed there for almost a week. It was so peaceful. We stayed in a little guest house by the sea. We spent a day diving on the island Menganjan....

Besakih - Bali

A bit of culture today! Indonesia is the world's largest muslim country, in terms of population. However, Bali is mainly Hindu. We decided to visit the Besakih temple, the biggest in Bali apparently. We first tried to go by public bus (bemo) but it was...

Padang Bai - Bali

As of today I am certified as an Open Water Diver :D I was quite nervous about taking the course but I'm happy I did it. It takes three days, 1 dive in a pool and 4 dives in the sea. It takes time to get relaxed about breathing underwater. It was only...

Ubud, Bali

We've unfortunately had some serious problems with our computer. Our hard drive crashed and we need to replace it. This is the second time that we have a problem with our electronic stuff and need to use our so called worldwide warranty. Well, let me...

Crocodile Holiday Inn

Sorry to have left it for so long to give some news! Thomas and I are still working opposite shifts. So we don't see a lot of each other, but last week we got two days off together. We took that opportunity to take a cruise. The idea was to see crocodiles...

Staying?Leaving?

We love to improvise but these days it's just been ridiculous. Since we haven't worked since mid-December, we've spent nearly all the money we earned while working in Australia. We were hoping to sell the van quickly at a good price in Darwin, and then...
