Happy Australia Day!!

Happy Australia Day to all my fellow Aussies wherever you may be in the world...

So far, we have celebrated by having lunch at Sushi Tei, a Japanese sushi train restaurant in Kuta. But my heart is firmly planted with thoughts of home (even if my stomach is closer to Tokyo). I was going to say something about home; that despite all the travelling we do - and will hopefully continue to do in coming years - that I love Australia and life in Melb and have not found anywhere that offers more... but you already know how awesome Aus is, so I don't need to bang on about it.

Not much going on with us here in Bali this week. The monsoon-style rains have slowed a bit and consequently there is less rubbish piled up on the beach (there were huge piles of trash all down the beach when we arrived because heavy rains had washed out the drains of several villages) After a few cooler days, it's feeling really really hot again! Might be time for a day at the beach!

There has been lots and lots of reading, a few long walks and consumption of endless veggie-centric meals to try and expunge the effects of the German sausage feast we partook in over in Europe...

It's become noticeably quieter tourism-wise since we came back (I guess school hols are over, or almost over) and I'm hoping that our last weeks here will be pretty low key and quiet. We haven't finalised plans for the last few weeks of the trip yet, but it's likely that we'll spend a few final days in Singapore before coming home. So close, so close.

Now would be the time to make any souvenir requests via the comments or email. Anyone for a Batik sarong???
