During the approximately 4 hour drive from Permuteran to Ubud in Bali, the driver came up with several unsolicited ideas for interesting stops and did not disappoint. The first was this funky roadside “Petting Zoo” stuffed between the ubiquitous and almost uniformly identical little “convenience stores” that line virtually every street, path and […]
I have to admit I am surprised by the sheer number and variety of Christmas Trees I have seen during my time in Bali in Thailand. They are all over the place and someone has obviously taken a great deal of care and time to decorate them. Given that Bali is predominantly […]
Sorry I have been offline for a while, but I spent a week in hospital in Thailand and then more than another week holed up in a hotel recuperating as an outpatient before I was fit to travel again. I will write a short summary of those events later, but […]
I am completing day 2 in hospital in Ao Nang up the coast from Tonsai after getting seriously ill with some nasty tropical bug. Tonsai is accessible only by boat and only during the daytime (6am to 6pm). I had to self evacuate from my bungalow up in the jungle to the […]

Well thank God there remain a good number of old, fat and wrinkly dudes out there in public who still think it’s a good idea to wear tiny little banana hammocks as a fashion statement. I was so worried this breed of Fashionista was extinct, but no!!! My trip to the stunning Erewon Waterfalls […]
I am just going to post a few pictures from my first visit to this famous bridge yesterday around sunset. Today I spent much more time there as well as at Hellfire Pass and the Memorial Museum for all those who worked, suffered and died building the […]
