Lombok is basically just mountains with shacks and towns built within. It is a lot poorer than the other places we have been. Arrived at same same bungalows in Kuta Lombok 4pm Sunday. Had our own bamboo shack. Walked through town to the beach - lots of locals and kids playing. Not many tourists. Stopped for some chilli beef springrolls with a mayo sauce, which are really nice. Afterwards we took a walk and clearly in the wrong direction as nothing was around u...

Gili T - arrived in Gili Trawangan by boat from Padang in Bali. First thoughts - looks like a tropical paradise. The Gili's are a group of 3 island between Bali and Lombok. Got the famous horse and cart to our villa. It was more like a rickety box than an actual cart though! Kirstie smacked her head on the top when I stepped in. As she does!! We stayed at Wisma Bunda it only has 5 rooms and they are really big. The bathroom is outside which was odd but don't wo...

Thursday we travelled to Ubud. This was a whirlwind day with so much going on. Kirstie finally got her backpack from the airport after 4 days!

There are temples everywhere Indonesians actually live within them. It is a very safe place and the locals are really friendly. Our hotel was really nice,...

Hi guys! I promise this one will be a short one ;) We have spent the last 2 days chilling on Legian and Kuta beach.

It's been nice to finally relax and take in the beautiful surroundings and atmosphere that Bali has. The surfing is epic, everyday so far it's bee...

Hi Everyone! It's been a while since my last blog and adventure but I'm back to tell you all the tales now :) Myself and Kirstie have just embarked on an epic 6 week trip around South East Asia! We are currently in Bali. So far it has not been a great experience to say the least. Firstly our connecting flight from Amsterdam to Jakarta was cancelled as the plane had a technical fault so they swapped it for a smaller one and kicked off 100 passengers. We were ...
