An Oasis of Serenity
Saturday morning was my departure to Ubud. I’d hired a driver named Gede, who I’d met when getting a tattoo a few years ago at Demon Tattoo on Double Six Road. You can contact him through Mr. Rasta Transportation (62-831-1803-985). We’re friends on Facebook, too, so that helps as far as my getting in touch … Continue reading
Final Friday in Bali
Breakfast at Café Bali again seemed like a good idea, beings it was a close walk, the food was good and the prices are inexpensive. My morning choices were the eggs diablo (spicy fried eggs with cheese), pain au chocolat and a strawberry, mint and lemon fruit fizz. Why doesn’t the U.S. have beverage choices … Continue reading
They Say It’s My Birthday!
Yup, October 23rd was my birthday. Other than a dinner reservation, nothing special was planned in advance.

Fly In, Fly Out
My jaunt to Bangkok was merely an overnighter. Air Asia only offers one flight daily from Bangkok to Denpasar and it’s around 6:30 a.m. The earliest flight out of Koh Samui is about the same time, so there was no way I’d be able to get to Denpasar via Air Asia on the same day. … Continue reading
It’s Been About a Month Now…
but I’m trying hard to remember what happened that Friday in Bohphut Beach. As I recall, I chilled at the apartment for quite awhile that morning. The microwave was set up higher than my height, so I had to stand on a chair to warm up my mini croissant thing-a-ma-jigs! My plan was to hang … Continue reading
My Sorry Excuse
As you may have noticed, my blogging dropped off soon after my vacation started. Things were going alright to begin with in Koh Samui. When I got to Bangkok for the one night, I had every intention of blogging. My laptop was out & opened up when a visitor dropped by the apartment. Well, said visitor hung … Continue reading
