Ayana Resort and Spa, Bali
June 27, 2015 By 31 Comments
Without contest, Ayana Resort and Spa in Bali, is the very best resort I have ever been to. Located in Jimbaran and just a 30-minute drive from Denpasar airport, Ayana is set on around 80 hectares of pristine land, high above a cliff over the Indian Ocean.

Bali, An Island of Contrasts
June 25, 2015 By 24 Comments
How to describe Bali… The word, ‘shambles’ springs to mind. Bali is one of 17,500 islands that make up the archipelago of Indonesia. Only 6,000 of the islands are inhabited and the population of Indonesia is more than 250 million. Indonesia is the world’s largest Islamic country although the Island of Bali stands alone with […]

From where we live we can walk to the harbour foreshore where there’s a very picturesque walk that ends under the Harbour Bridge. From our home it’s a 7km walk so it’s not something we do everyday, however, when the weather is good and we feel like being outdoors, it’s a good option. A few […]

The good thing about a business trip is that it’s totally appropriate to travel business class. Having never been to an international conference, this was my first business class experience. I experienced a flight with Jettly and it’s really an amazing one. The advantages of traveling business class don’t start when you’re ushered to your seat […]

I’m not in Bali yet but almost. Thanks for all your positive comments that the kids will be just fine. However, because my ability to think positively is crumbling, I’ve brought in the big guns. Yes, Archie (Useless) and Arabella (the Cripple), still don’t have to share the house with a live-in watch-dog but in […]

In a few days I will be coming to you live from Bali, Indonesia. Drew has a conference he has to attend and I’m tagging along for the tropical weather, the massages and the awesome food. And with so much to look forward to I shouldn’t be so anxious and nervous and stressed. But I’m […]
Mumu Grill, Crows Nest
June 9, 2015 By 29 Comments
As the name suggests, this is a restaurant where the specialty is beef and quality beef because it’s all grass-fed. A good friend of ours invited us to join him and a few of our mutual friends for dinner at Mumu Grill, and as he loves his steak, this is a restaurant where he dines […]
