Bali (The Rest)

Monday, 29 December 2014

Hope everyone had a fantastic Christmas break!? For those of you freezing your butts off in the Northern Hemisphere, I am hoping to bring you a little colour and sunshine to brighten up your day by showing you the rest of my Bali pics (well if I am honest, I still have a few more pics of the rice paddies to share if you are willing). It was a mammoth task choosing my favourites so I kinda just chucked them all in. If you don’t have a cup of coffee, I suggest you go and get one now because this is a longy. Hope you enjoy going through them as much as I did…

Merry Merry

Merry Christmas everyone! It’s just Jord and I this year so we’ll be eating untraditional food (steak on the barbeque) and drinking bubbles before 10am in our pyjamas and then maybe a swim down at the beach. Hope wherever you are, you have a wonderful day.

Bali (Part Un)

Tuesday, 23 December 2014

Hi again. I’m back. I know I said I was going to have a little break from my laptop for the festive season but well turns out I have some time on my hands for once! A Facebook message from a dear friend this morning (prodding me to post my Bali pics) was just the motivation I needed to put a little something together. There are hundreds of photos – all are just as colourful and vibrant as the next, but before I get into the meaty parts of our trip, I wanted to show you where we stayed. In hindsight, we selected very poor dates for our trip (schoolies and monsoon season… both presenting their own set of unique challenges) but luckily our accommodation in the second half of our trip, proved to be luxurious beyond belief. Architecturally designed, Aria Villas in Ubud is perched on the side of a valley. Close to the hustle and bustle of the town centre, but also tucked away next to the rolling rice paddies. We had sumptuous massages (complimentary massages are given to guests on arrival – heavenly), delicious food and knowledgeable guides right at our fingertips. A word of warning though, Jordan’s credit card is still smoking… but it was oh so worth it. Here’s why it was paradise for me.
