My 7 Super Dooper Shots
So it’s finally my turn to do the Hostel Bookers 7 Super Shots….blah blah blah….no one really cares, so here are my favourite photos…
Spiritual Sights around Ubud, Bali
Spiritual Sights around Ubud After a week of early morning yoga, afternoon cakes and carafes of wine in the evening, we thought it was time to break our well established Ubud routine and get out and about to explore the sights. We hired a scooter for the day and weaved our way through the polluted [...]
Flashpacking in Kuala Lumpur
I’m currently sat in a fluffy white robe, stretched across a plush sofa, 25 stories high, with a magnificent view over Kuala Lumpur. I’m opposite a queen size bed that is wider than it is long and Sam is sat about 10 meters away from me at a huge desk while he uses the Internet and [...]
Slumming it in Flores
While travelling, you don’t always get much choice about where you stay. Hence this place…. We arrived in Moni, Flores at 8pm. It was dark, we were tired and could find no other accomodation within walking distance. We were being hassled by about 15 guys on scooters who wanted to take us to their ‘friend’s, uncle’s, [...]
Visiting Moni in Flores, Indonesia
Moni is one of the more remote places we visited. We hadn’t even heard of the place until we bumped into an adventurous backpacker in Lombok. It is a tiny little village in Flores, Indonesia, and is surrounded by rice paddies and very little else. The power comes and goes as it pleases but there [...]

These monkeys have been living here for hundreds and hundreds of years and the three Holy Monkey Temples were built during the mid 14th century. There are the three grand old temples, two graveyards and intricate monkey statues everywhere; these all look [...]
Traditional Balinese Dancing in Ubud
Ubud is the ‘cultural heart’ of Bali, so it only seemed right that we would go to watch a traditional, Balinese dance show, and what better place to watch it than in the old palace. The palace was a beautiful place to watch the show. We sat in the courtyard of the old building that [...]
Diving with Manta Rays
From Luban Bajo, Flores, we went diving with Bajo Dive Club who were absolutely amazing. There are quite a few dive clubs in the area and we’d heard that these were the best. We were really lucky to be the only people diving and had Scottie, a lovely American DM, all to ourselves. He who [...]
Komodo Dragons
We were picked up at 7.45 to catch our boat and I was a little dubious at first. It seemed like the two guys on the boat weren’t expecting us and they didn’t speak a word of English. They stood around for about 20 minutes trying to figure out how we were to get on [...]
