Well what can I say,Bali what a wonderful place. The only regret withBali is we only spent one day there. It was banged out with coconuts and bananas. The people are friendly willing to help and gentle. We met up with a taxi driver and he took us all over the place for US$30. We saw rice paddies and old traditional villages. It was breathtaking, it has been a really positive experience. It has been a baking hot day with really high humidity but hey better that a ...

And the houses turn into corrugated tin caravans, a little look at the local Papers shows that...

Today is our forth day at sea and we are keen to meet terra ferma. Excitement grows as we look forward to a day in Darwin where we can see giant termite mounds and drink with real Aussies. If we are lucky we might get to see some salt water crocodiles, but not too close. The day started with me attending bridge class and really enjoying it. I think I've found a new passion.
