Slept awesome last night, finally! Beds were like the premier inn hotels where you just sink into the pillows. Although Ellie did wake me up at 11.30pm shouting at me “have you put an alarm on!” She woke up in a panic I think haha. She did tell me this morning that she did it again about 1am waking up in a panic that she had missed the pick up for the trip. It wasn’t until 9am that they were supposed to pick us up. When we got pretty much just around the...

Breakfast at Mana this morning, I had smashed avocado with mango and some other fruits in it on sough-dough bread and poached eggs (Mmmm, dribble!) and Ellie had something that sounded Mexican but had corn chips, avocado, black beans and some other delicious ingredients too. Could have sat there all day looking out over the cliff onto the sea whilst the surfers went out, it was so peaceful! But, onwards we go to the next place, we were going to Mataram in Lombo...

Everything was super super quick getting through customs, and our bags were waiting for us when we got to the belt. Now just to find the KLIA Ekspress train and figure out which package was better for us to do with the trains and getting a transfer back to the airport on Thursday. We must have been the...

I didn’t feel the freshest waking up this morning after a fair few too many lion beers yesterday and a a sneaky tequila shot got in there that the two lads bought. We strolled for breakfast only to find kids of black monkeys staring at us in the trees opposite and the guy that owns the guesthouse trying to feed them with bread by whistling for them to come over - no thanks mate!
