A short time in Bali…

How good is a trip overseas, for me it is like my life blood. Where I gain my inspiration, my release, my relaxation and find new things about myself, my food and the people I love.

Below are some snapshots from my time away with my little sister. We surfed. We ate. We got a little sick. We got better. And then did it all again.

Enjoy, and remember:

Live life, eat well, travel far….

 

 

Bali Sunsets

WE CAME FOR SUNSETS AND SURF…

WE WENT FOR OLD FRIENDS….

AND THEN HAVE A LAUGH WITH THEM…

WE WENT FOR MONKEYS…

WE WENT TO EAT…

WE ATE A LOT…

WE HAD BEERS…

I WENT FOR THE CORN (AND THE MEMORIES)

WE WENT FOR THE SMILES

WE WENT FOR THE CULTURE…

AND RICE PADDIES FOR MILES AND MILES…

WE WENT TOGETHER, MY SISTER AND I…

NOW IT IS TIME TO SAY GOODBYE….

    I love the first picture and the one of the rice paddies, they look so bright and vivid.
    Makes me think about this book I bought online from Steven Snow :)
    It’s called Byron: cooking and eating, I just love that book.
    Just browsing through it makes you want to go there and visit the place, and you just never w

      sorry, pushed the enter button by mistake :s

      so, where was I ? :D

      You just never want to leave the place, even if it’s just your imagination taking you there, while you’re not physically there.
      (although you could probably visit the paradise coast of Byron Bay, you lucky sod)

      You should create a masterpiece like that, just by taking pictures from across the globe and taking us there with you, on the same journey…
