After one of the most traumatic journeys, where at times, I didn’t think we would make it after being marooned on Maratua island, we finally made it! Island hosts, Suzanne and Beat met us with a friendly smile and some dragon fruit, which made everything seem a lot less stressful! It’s safe to say, our
Our journey down the Kinabatangan river was definitely a highlight of our travels in Borneo – the river cruise is basically a safari but on the water! There is an abundance of incredible wildlife hanging out along the riverbanks of the Kinabatangan; from tiny humming birds to monitor lizards, snakes, orang-utans and of course the famous
We were very excited to be heading to the Southern “secret gili islands” near South West Lombok. I absolutely loved my previous visits to the popular Gili Air and Gili Trawangan, but was keen to explore a less-travelled island. Gili Gede certainly provided this. It is the biggest of the southern Gili islands and is
Anyone visiting Bali should definitely make the half an hour flight over to the beautiful island of Lombok. Praya (Lombok) airport is an international airport so it can easily be included at the end or start of a holiday itinerary. Selong Belanak (SW Lombok) is a beautiful beach location with the most amazing accommodation; Sempiak
Selong Belanak beach In 2014, we fell in love with Sempiak Villas and couldn’t help but return again this summer. We’ve stayed here 3 times now and although the Selong Belanak beach is gradually getting busier, it is still unbeatable with perfect sand, good beginner surfer waves and THAT view! One of the good things about staying
There are lots quirky things to see and do on Nusa Lembongan. The island is much bigger than the Gili’s but it is easy to travel around the whole island on a moped (with one main road covering the length of the island). We spent a day exploring which gave us another day to go
We had an amazing holiday in Indonesia, working our way from Bali to the Gili islands and Lombok, before returning to Ubud in Bali. All footage is captured on a GoPro 3+; starting in Seminyak (Bali) with the release of a baby turtle and then scuba diving with more turtles around the Gili islands! We
We splashed out a bit for our stay at Gili Trawangan and stayed in the wonderful Ko Ko Mo resort. It was great and the restaurant was really good.. but it is worth remembering a “private pool” in Bali is normally the size of a big (and deep) Jacuzzi! The breakfast was amazing and we
Our Bali adventure started in Seminyak which is fairly close to Kuta, on the West Coast of Bali. Both destinations are now very popular tourist destinations, although Kuta has been described as similar to Benidorm whilst Seminyak has a slightly more upmarket reputation. There are LOADS of hotels to choose from in Seminyak ranging from
Today we visited three places that all had great views of the city; Tibidabo mountain, Park Guell and Montjuic castle. We used the metro to get as close as possible to each location but some stops didn’t get us very close, so lots of walking too! Our first stop was Tibidabo mountain. We went to
