Well as you can see from the photos, Rick and I are just back from Bali. The reason for the trip was that Grundfos was holding their Asian Conference there with over 300 customers, and Rick was doing a series of presentations over a three day period.....I on the other hand was in the mood for a serious holiday. Sick of study and these four walls, I tagged along to hang out in the hotel and indulge in the spas and beaches etc. Rick worked his butt off, and when h...

Well we're just back from our holiday in Cambodia - what a place! We spent 5 days in Siem Reap which is very near the Angkor Wat temple and the numerous other beautiful temples there. Most were built during the 10th to 12th Century and they vary from the huge like Angkor to the very small and dilapidated like Ta Prohm which was in the Tomb Raider movie - our personal favorite of the trip.

Mum & Dad came over with Bec for a week recently, so we decided that for my parents first trip together overse...

As you can imagine, Bec wanted to spend nearly every daylight (and some night) moment in the pool, and managed to get some real swimming time in o...

Well, it was the long weekend and Rick and I decided to spend our first real exploring time in Asia on a short trip to Melaka in Malaysia. We hired a car, booked a hotel online and off we went on Good Friday, with our trusty one page map of Malaysia, which we (bravely/mistakenly - take your pick) were going to use to navigate our way via the scenic route to Melaka.
