On the Jaya between Bira and Sorong, Indonesia
Sheila Next to one of the shacks we have used in Goa was a rough 'telephone box'. The lads would haul buckets of sea water to the facilities. Inside the box was a barrel of sea water with a jug so that you could flush the toilet after use. I have no idea where the contents of the toilet would go. In the interests of hygiene there was another barrel of sea water outside to wash your hands. Last year, at a different shack, a tourist had a bad tummy and was sitting on the toilet when a snake emerged from a gap in the wall. What a dilemma!

Ian Ord - Where Sidewalks End Thanks for linking back to my article (http://wheresidewalksend.com/bamboo-nest-travel-secret/) - it looks like you had a blast there. I just revisited for the first time in 2.5 years, and it was a fantastic experience again! Such a refreshing change of pace from a hectic life we often find ourselves living :) Glad you liked it too!

sallymay Hello! Thanks for the encouraging comments! I would like to give Bangkok another go, and visit the palace. It just didn't work out that way, as there were 4 of us and Carolyn's version of taking it easy and winding it down after a hard project is a little different from mine. It involves drinking cocktails all night in a range of impressive establishments. I thought I was going to die on Sunday. Even activated charcoal didn't do he trick.

Sheila Can't wait for the next episode! I gather you did not enjoy Bangkok. I normally don't like cities but found Bangkok very interesting and loved The Grand Palace.

Alex Beautifully descriptive. Made me want to see the places for myself which is the sign of a good travel log. Just sad that paradise is being slahed and burned

sallymay Thanks Mum! The first few are quite detailed. Hope they aren't too long and boring! Soon we're going to hit a patch where all I have to say is "had another lovely meal and napped a lot", so make the most of it.
