Our 3-months old tablet switched off while Karsten was checking some fantasy football stuff, waiting for the plane... and didn't switch on again...
Claire? Did you make an agreement with the tablet?!?

The tablet is still off... you might have less news from us than expected during the travel ;) but Doha airport has a nice internet area, so we can do some stupid stuff, waiting for the next flight.

We had 6 hours to Qatar, we are now waiting 4 hours then 10 hours flight to Bali... Champagne and Gin tonic are keeping us awake :)Read more
I can see this blog is going to amuse me :)) enjoy Doha ;)

Arrived at the hotel after 30h on the road and only 2h of sleep. Nat, the best maid of honor ever, didn't stop to surprise us, a message from her was waiting for us on the bed along with some flowers and elephant towels ;) went straight to bed and slept 12h.Read more

We spent the last 2 days exactly as planned: doing absolutely nothing! We slept quite a bit, enjoyed our very nice hotel, went out to eat and listened to the Australians watching the grand final of aussie rules. Too bad the Swans lost. Our first restaurant in a different world built their tables and chairs out of...palettes. Who would have guessed that we stumble across such restaurant? Very nice!

Tomorrow we'll be headed to Ubud. There the city and especially the surrounding nature should give us more than Kurta/Legian. Quite frankly, these towns don't offer much. But it was a perfect way to get acclimated a bit.

P.S. The tablet is back! Olé! And thats a pool bar btw!Read more

The hairdresser experience... Claire always said she would cut her hair at the beginning of the trip (easier in general, and Karsten can't say anything anymore, we are married, it's too late ;). The only problem is that this hairdresser wasn't use to cut girls hair from long to pretty short... after explanations and encouragements - "don't worry you can cut them" - the shaky young hairdresser started to cut... result: even if you want an asymmetric haircut you won't get that ;) anyways, they will grow again, pictures to follow ;)Read more

Day 7
Ubud, Bali
September 29, 2014 in Indonesia ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C
Now that is a town worth visiting. Still a ton of tourists but a completely different atmosphere. Calm, a lot of nice restaurants and a dozen temples sprinkled in. Our hotel is a dream, with like 15 bungalows built into the slope of a valley. Just those cats living in the wall or under the roof. Those are quite annoying ;). We started our Ubud experience yesterday with a fire dance show (more dance than fire). Today we got up early and had a very nice walk through the rice fields around the city followed by a tour of the monkey forest. Then I had the famous suckling pig (almost as good as advertised) before we fled from the heat around midday. To cap off the day we'll now be having a traditional Balinese massage! After that I'll check the football results completely relaxed. They shouldn't be able to shock me then ;).Read more

Ubud, Bali

Requests: since we had requests for Claire's hair and food, here is a combo post. In the background you see the Warung that we ate in today. Fried mushrooms, fern tips with coconut and watercresson, which was excellent! Along with 2 beers for 7 Euro. But to be fair this was one of the cheaper places since we ate in a Warung - look up the difference! - and not in a restaurant. The 3rd picture is the famous suckling pig (mit Schwart)! But the basis is really nasi and mie goreng or dishes with peanuts in some form, as in the famous satay sauce. Coconut is also often somehow involved.Read more

Ubud, Bali

Today we made our first touristy trip. Some rice fields, a couple of temples and monkeys of course. In between Claire got to try the poo coffee. Delicious. We finished the day at the water temple Tanah Loth. This one is half of the day covered by water, depending on the tide. There we were able to see the sun set (beautiful), witnessed thousands of bats flying out of their cave (impressive!) the second the sun was gone, and were asked for the first time if someone could take a picture with us (awkward). After dinner we even got to see a gamelan orchestra at rehearsal. Very cool. The cats in the wall are still there, probably a mother and her newborns. Terrible. Tomorrow we'll be leaving for the Gilis. Probably no internet there, so see you in a couple of days.Read more
