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, […]

“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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
Recently we visited Bali. Although maybe a lot of our readers don’t realize, being on the go is exhausting. We don’t have our own home. We don’t have our own car. We live out of suitcases. We move from place to place. Country to Country. And that is tiring. Especially as an older single Mum […]
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 […]
Traveling the world (as we do) has some amazing and unusual opportunities. Not only are we able to explore fantastic locations, and stay in beautiful places, we are also able to try new and interesting foods.

Mention ” Bali “, and most Australian families will instantly tell you that a MUST visit is Waterbom Park, and experience The Boomerang.
