Earlier this year we visited Bali, and when the resort we booked didn’t work out, we literally walked in off the streets and booked the Ramada Encore Bali Seminyak, so when we returned to Bali again, we decided we would stay here again. Flights from Australia usually arrive in Bali at night. We had arranged this […]
Where can you ride the longest waterslide in the world? Waterbom, Bali lures us back again! Only 2 months ago we were here having the time of our life, and when deciding where to spend our ‘school holidays’, Explorason requested Waterbom. Constrictor Why? Because it boasts the longest waterslide in the world, named the Constrictor. […]
Why do so many people visit Kuta Bali every year? Is it the cheap beer; the friendly service; the warm sun; the waves or are there other reasons why? T-shirts for $3 blow softly in the breeze at the local markets. Might this be the reason? Locals will haggle with you for a killer deal on […]
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 […]

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 […]
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. When we recently visited Bali, Indonesia, we were invited to try Japanese food for breakfast at Nishiazabu Imadoki Restaurant. […]
Mention ” Bali “, and most Australian families will instantly tell you that a MUST visit is Waterbom Park, and experience The Boomerang.
