Botanic Gardens and the MAGNT
Day 92 – Darwin, Australia I had decided to spend the day in the Botanic Gardens. I started by preparing a lunch to take with me, and when I opened the fridge to take a carrot out, I saw that the nice I had put them on was in fact the freezer tray. So I…
Darwin
Day 91 – Darwin, Australia Australia, at least, Darwin, where I landed, has an (un)convenient time difference of an hour and a half with Bali, which itself was 6 hours before France, I’m starting to lose the count of what time is where. Added that my flight was in the worse hours of the night,…
Leaving Asia
Day 90 – Kuta, Indonesia So… 3 months. I’m leaving Asia tonight, my flight is at 1:30 AM, and I’m landing in Darwin, Australia, at around 4:50 AM. Talk about flying early. I’m rather excited. I have nicely emptied my backpack, giving along some things, sending some other things back home since I was sending…
Day at the beach
Day 89 – Kuta, Indonesia I spent most of today at the beach. The tide was high, so what I described yesterday was a low tide. The difference was obvious, with the waves breaking directly by the shore and not far from it. Well, of course some break far from it, but new waves reform…

Ubud
Day 86 – Ubud, Indonesia Yesterday I went back to the beach for two hours. I was approached in that time by people wanting to sell me: – snorkelling tour – massages – fruits – clothes – musical instruments – silver jewellery. All charming, starting very politely by complimenting my tattoos, enquiring if I enjoyed…
Lovina Beach – 2
Day 84 – Lovina Beach, Indonesia Today’s fashion is pants bought in Malaysia, top custom-made in Vietnam, and headscarf bought in Cambodia. I don’t have a mirror to check the complete outfit, but at least the top and the pants are coordinated. I started my day with… I already forgot, but I think that just…
Lovina Beach
Day 83 – Lovina Beach, Indonesia Today was rich in adventures. It started with the shower. I lay have mentioned that my building is new, and thus some work still needs to be done. Apparently, that implies cutting the water off from time to time. Of course, it happened today after I had started showering…
