Blissful Bali

So with two months left to really live the dream in the Southern Hemisphere, Dave and I have thought a lot about making every second count to the last minute. Before we ever left Canada, two light years ago, we created a list of our most desirable places to visit whilst living in ‘Australasia’ and this is what we came up with:

1.       Indonesia

2.       A South Pacific Island

3.       New Zealand

4.       Thailand

5.       Vietnam

6.       Japan

As we started to think more and more about moving home, we reflected on the many amazing miles we had tread... but still, I felt a little sting at the fact that we never got to go to Indonesia. You may recall an old blog post dedicated entirely to ‘Indo Dreaming’ exactly one year ago today! (Ironic, no?) (http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=269543954605924062#editor/target=post;postID=2341115223039216154) 

 

Then there was the ‘Love’ chapter in the book Eat Pray Love – and well you know me, a hopeless romantic, suffering at the hands of a paperback. I have been absolutely set on wandering the streets of Ubud, cycling through endless rice patties, indulging in yoga retreats, meeting the old medicine man - ok, so maybe i wont actually seek him out buuuut you never know who you will run into in Ubud?! With all the fabulousness that this place has to offer I felt like I just HAD to go to Indo, it's practically right in our backyard!

Well there was only one solution I could come up with to solve this minor dilemma – book a trip to Bali! So that’s what we did. I am so ready to zen out with some beach yoga, tackle the surf when re-energized and then just lounge by the poolside haven to retreat from the hustle and bustle of life.

We had the option to stop over in Darwin for a night - so why not see the Northern Territory too! And just to ensure that my life remains hurling forward at a crazy wild pace, my sisters and grandma fly into Brisbane the day after we get back from Bali for a few exciting weeks of endless escapades.

So much to look forward to!
