We've been on a getaway. A blissful, island runaway trip - probably the longest holiday I've had in about 6 years. (No, tour guiding through Europe is not the holiday it appears to be from the outside!). I was on a self imposed internet ban for the majority of the trip, but now i'm back with a vengeance and just had to share a few photos to give you an idea of what a paradise Bali can be.

Fact: you cannot take a bad photo with sunsets like this.

There's a good few posts to come for you, in particular a mention of how differently an Austrian approaches a holiday compared to an Australian (hint: VERY DIFFERENTLY!). To tide things over though here's a brief photo collection for the start of the week - enjoy! 

That's moi, successfully Paddleboarding, whoo! S decided he 'doesn't like one board sports' after a morning of failed attempts to stay standing

Rice paddy fields gear in action

Not quite nailing the self-timed photo...but you get the idea!

Getting up close to the wildlife....pretty sure he wanted us to back off

Overall holiday success, despite many, many awkward photos
