Day 6 – Travel Day 1

Todays tally: 15,595 steps, 10.75km, 14 floors, 3 layers of clothing. This morning was our last morning in Kyoto, and to be honest I’m missing it already! We’ve only travelled a 30 minute train ride away to Osaka, but it feels like another country! The scenery is very different. Instead of temples sticking out in […]

Day 5 – Deers! Deers Everywhere!

Todays tally: 11,929 steps, 8.58 km travelled, 20 floors climbed and 4 layers of clothing. I think I’ve said it about every day, but today was a big day! The alarm was set an hour later than usual today, so a tiny bit of a sleep in for the boys. Not for me unfortunately, I […]

Day 4 – Unplanned Adventures are the Best Kind.

20,393 steps taken, 15.15 km travelled, 14 floors climbed – much less than yesterday, but a big day nonetheless! Another early day for the crew today, so we were up and at it by 8, and after a quick pit stop at that little bakery at the station, we were off, on our way to […]

Day 3 – Monkeys and a Thousand Gates, Oh My!

Today was a massive day which consisted of 22,778 steps, 15.88 km travelled and 58 floors climbed.  So after our yummy experience of Tepenyaki last night, we got a somewhat restful night of sleep and were up and at it by 8 o’clock! We had a surprisingly delicious breakfast from a bakery at Kyoto station, […]

Day 2 – Temple Hunting

Well, I slept like a log, which meant I got up today full of energy and excitement! We headed back to Kyoto station, firstly to try and get our American friend Lobada a bloody train ticket (so much harder than it would seem apparently) and also to find some grub. We went to a place […]

Day 1 – We Made It!

What a day… we left home at 4.15 am this morning and we’re only just sitting down and relaxing for the first time – it’s 10.30 pm. And our travels weren’t the quiet run of the mill either! Our first flight got delayed (At the start of boarding they asked that someone named Jenna Clark […]

Day 11 – Last Day

So we’re currently sitting at the airport, waiting to board our plane to Melbourne. Today was bitter sweet. Tommy took us to all the touristy areas and made sure we saw the most we could before we leave, which included a magical sunset over the ocean. I’m actually quite sad that we have to leave […]

Day 10 – Sleep ins and Souvenirs

Another very lazy day for us today. Absolutely nothing special happened. But you know what? You definitely need those days between all the excitement we’ve had! After such a big two days I was out by 9 pm, dead to the world! Didn’t wake up until 8.30 this morning. We got up, made the most […]

Day 9 – Barong, Monkey Forest and Rice Fields

Today I had a wonderful day! We had a different experience when Tommy picked up his cousin to teach him the tour business. This guy (Drew and I heard two different names when he introduced himself, so he is either Paulie or Holly), is hilarious. He’s so chatty and full of information, so that made […]

Day 8 – Waterbom

Everyone keeps telling us that we can’t leave Bali without going to Waterbom. So that exactly what we did today! Now I’m not what you’d call an adrenaline junkie by any means, so needless to say, was terrified! Drew on the other hand, absolutely loved it. I went on 3 fairly tame watersides, whereas Drew […]
