Our big holiday of 2017 was Sri Lanka, this was our last foreign holiday for a while with a baby due in August. We wanted to have a far away trip and we were limited as Zika virus was in a lot of countries which makes it dangerous for pregnant women or those trying to conceive as can cause disabilities with unborn children. Sri Lanka was a great location for us to head for and there was no risk there. We were leaving the day before my birthday. We worked from hom...

Our first trip of 2015 was to India. India has always been high on my list for a country I wanted to visit. People have often commented that India is quite hard to visit when you see the poverty which is pretty much everywhere. But it is by far one of the most rewarding countries to go to, so we were very excited about it. We left on the Thursday before Easter Friday and had a very early flight to Zurich with a 4 hour stop over. On the plane over I watched a fe...

The next day we were picked at 11am to get our boat back to Bali. That didn't stop me from hitting the beach for an hour before we got picked up!

Next day left at 7ish for our boat to the Gilli's. It was a cramped car with about 12 of us in. We got to the busy dock, checked in and then went for breakfast.

It took about an hour and a half to Gilli T, they almost took my bag with them but Rich saved it.. pheew..We booked a cheap and cheerful place (like 20 for 2 nights I think) It was a small room and lots of mozzies.. that was the main d...

When we got to Jakarta we had to swap terminals to go to the domestic terminal. We got the yellow free busy which was small and packed. We went to ANM for a burger whilst we waited to catch our flight. We then went and sat at our gate according to the board. Anyway I was pretty zoned out and was reading so wasn't paying to much attention but our flight seemed to be running late. Rich ran over a few mins past 4 and said we were at the wrong gate. We ran to the rig...
