It wasn’t an early start, but it wasn’t a late one either; we did decide to lie in bed and savour the last few days we were going to be able to do that. We eventually got up and Edd went to find out about a hair cut and a moped - he wanted to go to the beach, but the ones close to us we were warned to stay away from, so transport was needed to get to the ones more further out. (Apparently the beaches close by are beautiful, but the locals swarm aroun...

Call time was 8.30am, so we were up at 7am as the sun had already come up and woken us - another downside of a weaved bamboo wall. We got dressed, packed the last of our things and then went downstairs for breakfast, meeting Boots by the taxi that had arrived super early.Breakfast was two pancakes this morning and I'd asked for a cup of hot water for my sachet of Nestlé coffee.

We ate our breakfast and I attempted to drink the cup of tar that had...

Edd and I had an early start - were being fetched at 7 AM for a fast boat to Lombok. Edd’s mum and I printed off the accommodation booking we had secured the night before; our breakfast arrived just in time, as our driver was waiting outside. Edd’s mum was immediately in tears, as we were not going to see them again until after Christmas. After many bear hugs, we climbed in the car and waved goodbye; it had been a fabulous two weeks and we could not b...

It was our last breakfast on the boat; we got up and were sitting around the table at 8am, having ordered a coffee latte and juice. It was strange how quickly you get used to sharing a space with a random collection of people: the American mum and daughter, mum is a lawyer and daughter is starting a job in politics, the family that consisted of dad and daughter, dad being seemingly well connected in the Indonesian world and named dropped a bit about vice presiden...
