Salamat Siang, Today we ventured further than our local Ubud Village and found ourself at the Bali Bird Park. WOW is all I can say - with regard to both the drive down to the Park on the narrow and very busy roads - and of course Wow to the Birdpark itself. Who would think Bali has one of the nicest Bird Parks ever - at the same level of Australia Zoo. Amongst a stunning botanical landscape the finest collection of Indonesian birds plus fantastic birds from all...

I have tried to download 800 photos from my iPhone yesterday, however it took hours and I needed my phone in the interim, so I'll do it overnight tonight. The photo above is actually approppriate for todays blog, as we overlooked THIS actual terraced r...

Moving to Bali as a newly labelled "single mum" has been a huge time for 3 of us girls, so seeing familiar fac...

Selamat Pagi! Waking at 5-6am overlooking Rice Paddy fields is just a beautiful sight. Complete calm. One can hear a pin drop - who would think this of Bali. One of the nicest things I've seen this week is watching the local workers fly kites all day long whilst they tend to their fields, both so they can have fun and talk to their Gods at the same time.
