What a mess!


Gus and Tilly are checking on the Reindeers. They left a terrible mess on our balcony, carrot pieces went everywhere.

1st Christmas







This is Felix's first Christmas, not quite 8 weeks old. But very interested in what's going on.

Christmas Morning











Gus and Tilly woke up at about 6:00am to find Santa Claus had been. Santa left a letter for us saying that he had delivered the presents to our home in Jakarta but couldn't resist leaving 1 present for each of us at our apartment in Bali. Gus and Tilly were absolutely thrilled to bits to receive a DS Nintendo each. Gus a black one and Tilly pink. Santa also left some huge lollipops and a special necklace for mum.

Christmas Eve


On Christmas eve we went back to the Italian restaurant with our friends for dinner. Then came home to get everything ready for Santa Claus and the reindeers. Here Gus and Tilly are preparing some food for the reindeers.

Windows of Indonesia




Most farmers still use the old fashioned way of ploughing up the mud ready for the rice to be planted. This lady carries her bundle on her head, this is also a very common sight in the villages.

Balilnese Funeral




Declan went on this Tiki Tour one day around the island using his new camera. He came across this funeral. Here they placed the body inside this wooden elephant, then burnt it. When it call collapsed in a heap, they just kept pushing it together to keep burning. Ewhhh, it's just awful, Declan said you could actually see parts of the body sticking out.
