Our first weekend road trip took us North up the coast from Tanah Lot in search of Balian Beach, a well known surf spot, but home of not much else – we were led to believe. The drive took us around 1hr30mins winding from the coast inland a little and back out again and the…

Football and Baby Cows

First Visit to The Green School
We thought we’d have a recce to try and learn the way to the boys new school. Didn’t really work as the driver got lost and found the Green Village instead. A 20 minute walk through the jungle and we found the school, with a pair of pretty apprehensive boys. Massive thanks to Helen for…
Here come customs…
So it was never going to take long for me to get in trouble, even without doing anything wrong. In addition to our luggage we shipped 4 bags via a Freight service (containing 2 bikes, 3 sets of golf clubs and a suitcase of toys, books and computer cables), which, having not even known were…
The Magical Tanah Lot Temple
With our body clocks all over the shop, Luke and I made the short walk to Tanah Lot Temple and were there even before the locals and well in advance of the first selfie stick toting tourist bus, all of whom for some reason thought the view of teh temple would somehow be improved by…
Drone Action from Villa Nirwana
Not a bad back garden!! We’re the Red Tiled Roof just out of Drivers reach on the left by the fairway bunker.

Let Anger Pass

Finding some time…
I was going to write some pre-posts about how we ended up in Bali, but whilst I may touch upon the journey of how we got here as we go forward, it’s suffice to say that it’s been pretty manic (good manic, but tiring manic) to get to this point. I think one of the…
We’re Going to Bali
From a foggy London Gatwick we departed with our life in four suitcases (and a few carry ons!). The Storm troopers were having to keep control inside the airport as many flights were cancelled, but luck was on our side and we made our way through the inhumane check in process to board bound for…
