Four Seasons Indulgence

Sanur/Ubud
... culture capital' of Bali - Ubud. While it was pleasant enough for a few hours, I'd soon be bored staying. My negativity about Bali is probably a bit harsh (I haven't been impressed but Kirsty has loved it) and I think it's largely down to the fact that ...
Catching up with friends

I admit: another lousy day in paradise. Sleep in, late breakkie and swimming pool. Dr T's ear is still not better. In the afternoon, we walk to the city. We enjoy sunset with a beer. What I do NOT enjoy is losing at cards. ...
