We spent a day down at Uluwatu which was so beautiful. It’s the Bali that everyone imagines!
Andrew & Dewa walking through the cave to get to the beach at Padang Padang.
The cliffs and crystal clear water of Padang Padang.
Waves that go on forever.
Still amazed by this ability…
All the mopeds down this way are fitted with racks for surfboards.
Respect locals.
Not a bad place for a coffee.
So many waves. Take your pick!
The beautiful cliffs and water of Uluwatu from the Monkey Temple.
Andrew in his temple sarong 🙂
This monkey looks like he’s plotting to kill us…
Monkey family.
Off to a ceremony.
Not sure how safe this is…
Or this actually.
Restaurant on wheels – go where the business is!
Our hotel – Amber Boutique Silom.
We caught the local boat along the river to visit one of the temples.

It was obviously high tide when we got off the boat as this lady’s little shop was well and truly flooded.
Wat Pho.

The giant golden Buddha is so impressive.
It’s difficult to show in photos just how huge it is!
Young monks at Wat Pho.

Delicious grilled squid from a street vendor.

Typical Bangkok scene – busy, dirty, crazy and somehow endearing.
The tiniest McDonald’s ever?
We went searching far and wide for the best street food in Bangkok and were lucky enough to have an amazing street only 5 minutes walk from our hotel in Silom. We tried almost every place on the street at least once.

On Saturday we paid a visit to the famous Chatuchak Markets. It was insanely busy and already 40 degrees by about 9:30am so our shopping didn’t last that long. You simply can’t believe how big this market is unless you see it for yourself. It covers over 35 acres!
There’s something for everyone at Chatuchak Markets! There’s food…
…and feather dusters…
…flowers and knives…
 …and a lovely cafe to escape from the heat!

Part of the Acropolis.
Dakos salad….sooooo good.
There was some seriously cool street art in Athens.
The place we stayed had a great balcony overlooking a pedestrian street lined with cafes.
More cool street art.
Spice shop.
Take a close look at just how much garlic is in this photo!
Seems like you wouldn’t want to leave your car anywhere too long in Athens.
Meat and garlic hanging from the ceiling….why not?
Fun shoes!
Why do they make the coolest kids clothes?! I want these in my size!
Cafe lined streets in the city centre.

Gorgeous Greek architecture.
Look like this fat cat has had a few too many gyros.
This marks the end of our time in Europe sadly. Next up ASIA!
Gondola parking.

An art exhibit we stumbled across.
Watch your head!
I couldn’t get enough of the views from all the little bridges.
Andrew and the giant stovetop expresso.
No Hills Hoists in Venice!
Autumn vines.

A rare moment of quiet in Venice with no one in sight.
Canal peak hour.
Classic Venice




Placing your heal on the genitals of the bull on this Turin coat of arms and spinning 3 times is said to bring good luck. The number of people doing this has caused significant damage to the tiling and there is now a hole in place of the bulls genitals.



























Our first view of Corniglia.
People enjoying a meal after their hike and the 382 steps you must climb (or descend in our case, thank goodness) to go between the town and the train station.
The town off in the distance that you can see is Monterosso so it was a reasonable hike (and very enjoyable!).
After that hike I think we deserve a beer and a big feed of seafood pasta!
We spent the afternoon and evening in Riomaggiore which is really gorgeous.






And last but not least we visited Manarola.

Laughing at how impossible it is to get a good photo of me!
We had a fantastic dinner (more seafood pasta!) and enjoyed another gorgeous sunset.













































Duomo di Amalfi.

Andrew’s gelato….and Kirsty’s gelato 😉

What a gorgeous coastline…
