We decided on two destinations for our week in Bali, first was Ubud. This sprawling town set amidst lots of rice paddies was really nice. Not a great deal to do apart from walk around the surrounding area and enjoy the many restaurants and cafes. For lunch one of the restaurants specialises in Bali's Babi Guling, whole roasted pig stuffed with Balinese chilli paste, it was amazing. After a few days we took the boat accross to Nusa Lembongan, an island in between ...

We were up bright and early again in order to get the bus to Moni, a small village at the foot of Flores' most famous volcano, Mt. Kelimutu. We thought the journey was going to take seven hours but due to another driver with a death wish we were there in five. We checked in and made plans to make our way up the mountain at 4am for sunrise. Thankfully you can drive up most of the 1600m peak but a brisk walk in the cold got us up to the viewpoint as the sun was pee...

We spent the day after the boat trip with our feet firmly on dry land in a town called Labuanbajo on the coast of Flores.

The dive company we went with were called '...

So we hopped on board a cramped minibus to take us to our boat which we'd be staying on for the next 4 days. Stopped on route to take more money out only to find all of my cards (and Hannah's) blocked. An expensive call to the UK and a large cash advance to hopefully mean the end of bank trouble and we were on our way.First impressions were not great, very small and very uncomfortable but we (13 of us) were excited nonetheless.Day 1 - 6 Hours of travel and plenty...

Ok so we flew from Saigon to KL, then KL to Denpaser in Bali. We spent one night in Kuta (which bizarely had a Topshop and a Marks and Spencers), then spent a long day on a bus-boat-bus-boat getting to an island off Lombok called Gili Air. We settled in to a basic but delightful bungalow right on the beach and enjoyed our first of many sunsets on Gili Air. We planned to spend 4 nights on Gili Air but ended up staying 8! We loved the place. Delicious Indonesian fo...
