Fifty Shades of White As you can see I have now decided to title each blog. So, what have we been up to in WA? We stayed two nights at Rachel's house in a suburb of Perth called Maylands. Special thanks to Rachel and Mal for letting us stay and for showing us around. Having arrived feeling a bit ropey, on the way from the airport to Rachel's house, she mentioned that they had a rat infestation. Apologies for the language, but my initial thoughts were "F*ck me,...

Goodbye Bali, hello Oz. Had a great five days in Seminyak culminating last night with another meal at Ultimo (not as good as the first - the steak was bloody tough) and then drinks at the champagne bar. Five days was enough - we saw it and did it. Firstly, let me wind back a few hours.

We couldn't understand a word he said, although to be fair, his English is much better...

The main religion here is a mix of Hinduism and Buddhism and they leave little offerings each morning to their Gods to keep ev...

"We went to Bali ... Saw God and Dali ..so mystic, surrealistic ..." Okay, so we haven't seen God or Dali but this place is para, para, paradise - oh, uh, uh uh oh oh ur.. Couldn't think of an intellectual quote to head this - so went with Freddie Mercury instead (Was it all worth it). First of all, I am sweating.
