So a quick note to say that I am presently in South West France about to start the Camino. I have a flight on Oct 6 to Nepal, so I have that long to go 500 miles (496.1 to be exact). I have a few posts on my phone (but no wireless so far in […]

Eat Pray Love
August 29, 2008So I am mostly through the book epl and I suggest it to those who have not read it. I have laughed out loud and cried, so it must be good. What I find interesting in my self looking ways is that I also would like to get some clarity on life from this trip […]
One way to travel
August 29, 2008A major driver for dbill to want to come to Indonesia is to see the great Komodo dragon. The are LARGE molitor lizzards that live on two islands east of lombock. There are a few ways to get there, but the moat adventurous is to take a boat. This four day cruise is a great […]
Party island
August 28, 2008After our time on lembongan which included a dove that showed us the malo malo fish (which is quite big) and the frog fish (which was quite green/yellow and looked like a rock) we met back up with Melanie going to the gillis. The gillis are 3 small islands off the coast of lombock (next […]
Lembongan
August 28, 2008I might have already written this but the just show up and find a room ha not worked 100% as planed on this trip. It seems that the heavy austrailian contingent of travelers are here for vacation. So dbill and I show up in lembingan (a small island off of Bali) on a four o’clock […]
Its a G thing
August 18, 2008So every 6 months the people of Bali have a religious festival that celebrates the fight between good and evil (black and white clothes represent this) with, after 7 days, good wins. To celebrate this they kill a pig (I didn’t personally here this but it is said you can hear the screams) and have […]
Computers and backpackers
August 17, 2008So I have now had 2 interesting conversations (and countless with dbill) about the changing role of the backpacker and their computer. It seems that many a backpacker is now carrying a laptop around and bringing the computer to the local cafe instead of a book. Don’t get me wrong the book is way more […]
You need transport?
August 16, 2008So after hearing that question every five seconds while in Ubud, we finally needed to leave. So we headed off to the beach town of Sanur. Once avian things were a little packed as we struggled to find a placento stay. We found a ok place on the beach for too much $$ (at least […]
Monkey
August 15, 2008MONKEY!!!! I can best explain Ubud as playa del carmen 8-10 years ago. A mixture of really cheap and then suddenly a Polo store. Luckily food and massages are still cheap. The food is really good while the massages are hit or miss. Dbill got 3 yesterday, so you know we are roughing it. I […]
