A quick stop in Kota Bharu
After a great stay in the Perhentians, we decided to stop one night in Kota Bharu and fly from there the next day. At first sight, Kota Bharu appears to be a glauque, uncharming, dirty, somewhat dodgy city. This is not far off the mark and I would say that most people would not want to stay more than one night there. But, if you … Continue reading A quick stop in Kota Bharu
A day in Singapore with baby
A day in Singapore with baby After our two weeks in Bali and Lombok it was time to hit the city for a change. We were lucky to be able to stay with our friends who have two amazing daughters so ours had plenty of playtime and new toys to enjoy.

The Gili Islands with baby
The Gili Islands with baby After our short stay in Bali we took the fast boat from Amed Beach and its beautiful volcanic black beaches for the Gili Islands.

We … Continue reading The Gili Islands with baby

So we decided to hike Mount Batur, an active volcano in the middle of a massive caldera, instead of a longer and more challenging hike knowing that it would be fairly easy to do with baby on board. Sadly for us Mount Agung will have to wait. … Continue reading Mount Batur Bali
Seal Rocks, NSW, Australia
Seal Rocks On the North coast of NSW near Myall Lakes National Park there is a small and pristine community called Seal Rocks. This community has an interesting history being known for resisting massive commercial development. In that sense the members of the community did a great job. Entering Seal Rocks is stepping away from the businesses of big campgrounds and other overcrowded villages you … Continue reading Seal Rocks, NSW, Australia
Booti Booti National Park NSW Australia
Booti Booti About 4 hours drive north of Sydney, located just south of Forster, this national park is worth visiting if only for 7 Mile Beach. There are short bush walks and beaches to be explored there as well as the usual surfing, fishing, and swimming. I have been to Booti Booti twice: once on an Easter weekend and once mid-week in March and had … Continue reading Booti Booti National Park NSW Australia
