Bali time! Finished a circuit of temples in beautiful locations, driving to different parts of the island along the rice fields, coconut trees and countryside getting a faraway view of volocanic Mt Batur and Mt Agung. Watched an interesting Kecak dance performance in Ubud, our base. A couple of good massages to revive us on holiday 😄. Last stop, the popular Seminyak Beach and Potatohead Beach club 😎 A scooter ride for some retail therapy in local markets before flying back to Sydney!

Celebrating a milestone birthday and long friendships. Autumn breeze, falling leaves, the splendor of colors, rolling hills, wineries and memories downunder! May the good times reign!

A March 2026 visit to Japan: Hiking part of the edo-period Nakasendo trail in Japan was a different kind of experience we had, away from the normal Japan tourist route (rather in addition to it). The trail was an old trade route between Tokyo and Kyoto which in the old days took traders several days walking over mountains and through forests. The route has tea houses and built structures preserved from that period. Our walking route took us from Nakatsugawa to Magome to Tsumago to Kiso Fukushima, quaint mountain villlages in the Central Japanese Alps. The higher altitude Tori pass beyond Kiso was closed for repair and so we ended our hike there. While the route itself is not spectacular with high altitude mountains and alpine lakes, the hike is more a walk through history and gentle and quaint mountain towns of the central Japanese Alps. Because of bear attacks in the last couple of years, we had a bear bell attached to our backpack and were ringing the fixed bear bells along the route 😄 My veg food Gohei Mochi.
