Yogyakarta

After our usual first night, dodgy hotel charade, we found somewhere decent, which conveniently was near a decent coffee shop – heaven! It felt strange to be in a city again, but quite nice in a way. We explored some of the sights, including the local markets. The bird market was interesting but...

Smoking volcanoes

We left Ubud and headed to Denpasar to catch a bus that would take us from Bali to Java. As we boarded the bus, the TV was playing Indonesian Karaoke, we had visions of people getting up and singing for the next 10 hours, much to our relief, the TV was switched off as the bus pulled away. Most...

Ubud

Small boat, walk, bus, walk, small boat, big boat, small boat, walk, bus – this was the sequence and 8 hours later we arrive in Ubud. The journey was incredibly hot so as soon as we found somewhere to stay, we jumped straight in the pool to cool off. I won’t ramble again about the place that we...

Gili Trawangan

Another boat journey but this one only an hour long, took as to Gili Trawangan – this is the biggest of 3 small islands off the coast of Lombok. Pretty much as soon as we got there we knew we were going to really like it. Firstly, There is no motorised transport on the island at all, the...

Senggigi, Lombok

We had a fairly interesting journey to Lombok. Firstly, there was a 3 hour journey in a rickety old people carrier – it was literally falling to bits inside with holes in the dash where instruments should have been. The driver took no prisoners on the road and undertook some imaginative...

Bali

After a false start with our first hotel/flea pit, we spent our first day looking around Kuta and Legian for alternative accommodation. We eventually found somewhere nice in Legian, it had a lovely tropical garden which was a bit of a maze and a big pool for cooling off in. We splashed out a...

Mid air drama

To keep us entertained on the flight from Sydney to Singapore, a man had to be restrained by the flight crew and other passengers. Whilst we saw the fracas, we weren't really aware what sparked it or what he had done. A subsequent internet search reveals he was threatening to down the plane...

Kuta get out of here!

We spent two nights and one day at Kuta Beach before our flight out of Indonesia and onto Singapore. Kuta is a former paradise that has been destroyed by mass tourism and we were told this all along the way, hence why we didn't go. The only interesting aspect was the memorial to the victims of...

5 Days on Gili Trawangan

After such a fantastic trip across Flores with Dino it was time to return to the realities of backpacking and this meant a 28-hour journey to Mataram on Lombok island. The journey included several parts by both bus and ferry but it actually went quite well as we slept for most of it. On...
