Not an unusual sight in part of Bali is to see monkeys on the side of the road and in the trees.

Planting Rice
Also on the way home from rafting they stopped alongside some rice paddies and were able to get in the mud with the locals and plant some rice. As you can see the water is very muddy and so you have to wash off afterwards. Unfortunately these little rivlets on the side of the road, although not muddy, are used for washing clothes, bodies, tools, and even for toileting. So you need another good wash when you get home.
Umbrella anyone?
On the way home from rafting they when past some beautiful scenery and met these 3 on the side of the road. It was raining and so they found themselves these umbrellas. Indonesians really don't like to get wet, even though it's hot. So many are too poor to afford any kind of protection from the wet.
River Rafting
Declan, Gus and Tilly went white water rafting with our friends from Bangladesh and also another friend Josh, from Jakarta. They had a fantastic day and wonderful time on the river. Here are some photos of the before, the on the way there, the during, and the after.
Cuddles
I call this cuddles by the pool. Gus and mum, Felix and Dad. This photo of Felix is so funny because we have the exact same shot of Gus when he was a baby in the same position.
Christmas Friends
Last year we met this wonderful family living in Bangladesh and were holidaying at our resort. A few days before we left on holiday we were talking about them and wondering if they would be there again. Lo and behold on the first morning at breakfast we met up with them again. Diane and Andrina have two beautiful girls, Jesse and Christina, about the same age as Gus and Tilly and they were so excited to meet up again. We had a great time with them again for another 2 weeks and here we are eating dinner together at a great Italian restaurant.
