Gili Air has some of the most beautiful accommodation, Gili Air and Meno tend to be most in terms of price – perhaps the location as it is quieter and more couple oriented. The accomodation you can get can be right on the beach, your own thatched bungalow if you wanted. Our budget at theContinue reading “Gili Air Garden Guesthouse Review”

Wonderland Guesthouse Review
Since we stayed here in 2016 this guesthouse has had a bit of a makeover and no longer the ‘Wonderland’ guesthouse and is now called the ‘Blackbird’ Guesthouse. Looking at recent reviews many travellers have said it is still really nice guesthouse to stay at. We paid a total at that time of £8 forContinue reading “Wonderland Guesthouse Review”
Not Our Last Goodbye
After our four full nights on the Gili Islands, we were safety in our minibus on the way to Ubud. We had to have a bit more of a plan for the days here, as we decided to book our flight from Denpasar to Melbourne on Christmas day (we were currently heading to Ubud onContinue reading “Not Our Last Goodbye”
All The Zen Vibes
Gili Islands, add to your list for future reference please. “You’ve not been to Bali if you haven’t been to the Gili Islands”. God I hate it when travellers say that to you. Do you agree? Particularly after you have been somewhere and they know you hadn’t done a certain activity or missed out aContinue reading “All The Zen Vibes”
Boats And Bali
Nia and I were professionals when we got off the bus in Bangkok. Tuk-tuk drivers fought for us to get in their tuk-tuk. When we got off we just said ‘cheapest price to get us to Khao San Road’. It was like an auction. Seriously, try it, it works like a charm. We checked intoContinue reading “Boats And Bali”
Spicy Pai Hostel Review
This hostel, man this hostel. This was such a vibe. Just one quick glance on the link below before you read on will make you want to go. It didn’t have a waterpark, it didn’t have slides going into a lake, but it was beautiful. Thatched roofs, open plan, all made from wooden beams inside;Continue reading “Spicy Pai Hostel Review”
Spicy Pie Anyone?
On route to Pai! Or in our case Spicy Pai; the hostel we stayed at while we explored this authentic and stunning part of Asia. Think of rural landscapes, mountains, fields, haystacks, rivers.. you name it. The hostel we stayed in showcased it all so make sure you check out the review for this one;Continue reading “Spicy Pie Anyone?”
Brick House Hostel Review
We stayed at the Brick House Hostel (now changed name to Mad Monkey Hostel). It was £2.50 per night for the two of us to stay there in a dorm room, it was such a bargain. The rooms where clean and simple for the price. There wasn’t a larger locker under the bunk bed forContinue reading “Brick House Hostel Review”
So Much To Do
Even though we were excited, we had to get there first. It was time for that next bus ride. 30 hours this one took. 30 hours. Yes, over a day. We had mastered the prep by now: make sure you have full charge on your phone with an account on Netflix, on Spotify, a coupleContinue reading “So Much To Do”
Laos Or Chaos?
How to get to Laos? Shall we take a thirty-hour bus journey? Or an hour flight? Bus? Or flight? Bus or flight? Nia and I toyed with the idea of this for a good hour, looking at our funds of what we had spent and what we had left. Weighing up having to do anotherContinue reading “Laos Or Chaos?”
