Eat, Pray, Love .. in Ubud

We’ve finally arrived in Ubud – place popular with tourist wanted to repeat Elizabeth Gilbert’s “Love” experience from “Eat, Pray, Love” (later portrayed on the silver screen by Julia Roberts). The town is located in among lush green hills, has its own Monkey Sanctuary and a busy two-faced market. Market itself has two, completely opposite, faces. One, which exists only very early in the morning – time when locals get fresh fruits, meats and spices. And a later one – […]

In the Land of the Gods (Bali 2014)

After living for the past several months in Australia it was time for us to travel again and visit a new place. But which one? The choice became quite easy after JetStar offered cheap return flights to Bali, Indonesia using their new Boeing 787 Dreamliner. Our first stop was Seminyak – a quiet area located in the southern part of Bali (just few minutes north of noisy Kuta by taxi). We’ve enjoyed few days of cheap massage ($6/hour :-), Indonesian […]

Jammin’ to Reggae (Jamaica 2013)

We’ve started our adventure with Jamaica in Montego Bay, where we stayed in Sunset Beach Resort Spa and Waterpark. The resort had its own waterpark and offered a kit of entertainment in the evening, but was located quite a distance from the Montego Bay itself (I guess that’s the reason behind an all-inclusive hotel). Zoë was amazing everyone by fearlessly jumping into a pool and swimming underwater in a hot tub. Hopefully Aidan will do the same soon 🙂 After […]

A plan was born to rent a car and use it to get to the race AND to visit someplace in the New South Wales. And that’s how we’ve ended up in Nelson Bay / Port Stephens area with its enormous dunes.   […]

Netherlands 2011

We’ve arrived in Amsterdam in the late afternoon following a short flight from Wroclaw to Eindhoven (via WizzAir) then taking the train. The city was very unique – full of canals, bicycles and Coffee Shops (in which it’s legal to smoke cannabis). It even had its own Red District with ladies willing to fulfill (some of) your desires for just a handful of Euros .. or so I’ve heard 🙂
