My last blog entry saw us looking forward to our trip to Bali. Well that was a while ago now! The Bali trip and even Christmas are both well and truly over so it's time for me to recap. We had a great time in Bali with the family and experienced four different places and accommodation, two of which we would go back to and the others, we are glad we experienced but have no need to return. Our first stay was a lovely quiet resort on Lombok called Jeeva Klui. Beau...

We did meet up with Jo, Phil and the girls as mentioned in my last entry. They came and found us at Winton, much to the surprise of Livi and Ruby as they didn't know we would be there.

It’s been a while since we’ve seen them so we’re making a quick trip to see then before they head off to Tasmania for their Christmas holiday. We decided to travel down by the coast road (Pacific Highway) ins...
