I know, I know… I said New Zealand was the next destination for an overseas holiday, but a two year house building process has meant our options had narrowed considerably and Bali was pretty much the only thing we could afford 🙂

Anyway, we arrived safely and let me state now for future reference that we never wish to fly JetStar again! Well, apart from the trip home of course. I mean, I know it’s a budget airline, but the leg room is ridiculous! OK, finished with the airline vent.

We’re staying at the Maya Ubud which is nestled in the hills and is a far contrast to everything around it. Bali really hasn’t changed that much in 15 years. It’s still unrelentingly grim in places, so this is really an oasis – photos to come… but here is the website if you’re interested: www.mayaubud.com
