Location, location, location. We find the ideal central location where we could walk into the city of Adelaide. Recently I was asked, “Do you only write about high-end and luxury accommodation? Why don’t you include some more affordable places for families to stay in when you are traveling”? So, I listened, and this next Adelaide […]
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle…. Our sausages are grilling to perfection as we chat and drink with a lovely family from Wales, UK. The kids are playing ‘Hide and Seek’, and couples swim in the slightly heated pool behind us. We are staying at McLaren Vale Motel and Apartments, and it is the perfect place to stay, […]
Here’s my list of Top 10 Things To Do with Kids in McLaren Vale, South Australia. Plus I’ve added a few extra Time-Outs for the adults too! (These are not in any particular order). Many of these activities are also FREE! Number 10 – Ten Woodstock Winery – Feed Australian Wildlife By Hand And It’s FREE (including Soy […]
“OH MY GOSH! “ I look up as I’m drinking my coffee on a misty Summer early morning, to almost come face-to-face with a Koala, looking right back at me. We are housesitting in a hilly suburb about 20 km from the center of the city of Adelaide. This is suburbia. This is Australia. This […]
Morning comes around too soon. We’d enjoyed a lovely dinner with our group last night with our tour guides showing us some fabulous ‘YouTubes’ of other Indonesia destinations to whet our appetites. So I threw on some clothes to head to breakfast at the stunning new Alaya Resort in Ubud. (We have more water activities today, so […]
Today is one of the highlights of all of our travels! As a world-schooling Mum, today would have to be up there in one of the best days where we have experienced fun, and learning – totally integrated. For anyone who wants to experience true Balinese lifestyle, read on. Where are we? We are on a […]
When I think of BALI, I think of ‘B’ Words. Bars. Bikini’s. Bags of Shopping. Bintang Beer. Basking in the sun. Bartering. Beaches and so on… But there is more to Bali than these. Way, way more, and as we try to include education and fun with our travels, we decided to take a stress-free […]
We have finally left the Kuta hustle and bustle, and have hired a private driver to take us to Ubud. Today we are told is one of the Hindu ceremony days (of which there are many). It is something to do with the ‘god of the trees’, and as Hindu appreciates all of what is […]
When you travel where do you mainly eat? Do you venture out of your hotel and explore the surrounding area, or do you choose to dine in their restaurant? Most times when we travel and book a hotel, we tend to eat out of the hotel, mainly because you think it is ‘mainstream’ and ‘predictable’. But […]
If you are looking for the perfect place to enjoy a sunset cocktail or a snack by the pool as you unwind after a hard days shopping or golf in Bali, then the Watermark Hotel and Spa in Bali is the perfect place to stay. This is a new hotel (in the last year), and so […]
Firstly let me share some small and interesting facts with you with you. Bali is NOT its own country, It is an island of Indonesia or a Province of Indonesia … but it is not its own country! Also, whilst Indonesia is predominantly Muslim, this island has Hindu faith. We arrived in Bali on a hot […]
Recently we decided to continue our world journey and head from Africa via Thailand, and then onto Malaysia. When I was researching, I discovered the hottest new holiday destination for Australian families, so we decided we just had to go and check it out. We are so glad we did. We had an amazing time, […]
