- Indonesia – Gili AirTake some sand, add a few trees, bit of coral, beachside accommodation, a good dose of fresh air all in an area no more than 3km squared and you have the ingredients for one hell of an Island. Replicate this Posted by dbgomes in There and Back... And There Again | May 27, 2012

- Indonesia – Gunung Bromo Looking like you have just stepped onto some distant planet, Bromo has a distinct otherworldly feel to the place. An ancient supervolcano that has given birth to some smaller active volcanos is pretty interesting to see, and doing it as Posted by dbgomes in There and Back... And There Again | May 24, 2012
- Indonesia – SumatraOrang-utans share 96.48% of our DNA, and staring into their eyes makes that seem more believable. Like there is some long lost connection there between us. To be able to share the jungle with these primates was an amazing experience Posted by dbgomes in There and Back... And There Again | May 24, 2012
- Some thoughts on BaliBali was a strange trip for me, mainly because I had visited before as a child and my memories did not match with the country as it is today. I remember dark streets with no cars, and many people begging Posted by Tess_JM in Round the World 2012! | May 21, 2012
- Pemuteran, BaliThe last stop on our Bali travels was the very north of the island in an attempt to find the world renowned coral reefs and rainforest wilderness North Bali is famed for. We definitely escaped the tourist mayhem and annoying Posted by Tess_JM in Round the World 2012! | May 21, 2012
- Ubud, BaliUbud is another extremely touristy place in Bali, but unlike Kuta, it has managed to cling on to some Balinese culture and avoid the trashy clubs and bars. The main attraction is the monkey forest, although it is also very Posted by Tess_JM in Round the World 2012! | May 21, 2012
- Padang Bai, BaliDespite the loud ferries, tens of tourists and hawkers, I loved Padang Bai.
I found the tiny seaside town really relaxed and quirky - with many restaurants and cool reggae bars where travellers could mix happily with the easy-going locals. We Posted by Tess_JM in Round the World 2012! | May 20, 2012
- Tirta Gangga, BaliTirta Gangga was our first experience of 'real Bali' - made even more vivid because we happened to be there for Bali's Hindu new year festival - an unique and baffling event.
We stayed in a bungalow at the top Posted by Tess_JM in Round the World 2012! | May 20, 2012
- Amed, BaliWe came to Amed so Tom could experience Bali's spectacular diving. He tells me it didn't fail to disappoint, and from his photos you can tell the water is teaming with life.
Unfortunately for me, my plans of pure relaxation and Posted by Tess_JM in Round the World 2012! | May 20, 2012
- Kuta, BaliWe decided to stay in Kuta for a few nights to organise the rest of our Bali trip, turn Tom into a pro surfboarder and have a big night out...none of these things ended particularly successfully.
Kuta is the ultimate Posted by Tess_JM in Round the World 2012! | May 20, 2012
- Zala Villa, BaliWe arrived in Bali exhausted and completely unprepared after failing to do any research - we were just too worn out after hopping countries so frequently to learn anything useful. Luckily we had already booked somewhere for the first few Posted by Tess_JM in Round the World 2012! | May 20, 2012
