Beautiful Bali

Apart from the occasional shower Bali was an island paradise. With almost two weeks to enjoy myself i went in search of watery adventures. Jet skying, snorkeling, para-sailing (the best), swimming, surfing & failing at it lol and just good ol-fashioned lazing on the beach. Touring was a bit difficult since they're set up for groups or pairs of people but fortunately scooter hire was cheap as and fun. The monkey forest was enjoyable apart from when the monkeys tried to climb me to steal my grapes. They had the grottiest little paws but were pretty cute so they were forgiven.




Although there was a lot to do in Bali I am well prepared and looking forward to returning home. I find I'm so excited I can barely sit still or hold a thought in my head. I think it is the excitement only a tired man can feel, a tired man at the end of a long journey whose destination is so close. I hope that each and every person that has prayed for me realise my gratitude for their love. I hope that everyone Ive interacted with this year was encouraged by my presence, I hope they forgive me if they were not. I hope I can make it home safely. I hope to rejoin my friends and family again. I hope that that my joy and love for them is as strong as i remember in my dreams. I hope.

At Worlds End

It might be because I just left a 3rd world country, it may be because Johannesburg painted such a terrible picture of South Africa or it could be that its almost identical to Hobart but Cape Town is one the most beautiful cities I have enjoyed this year. Cape Town was en rout to my next leg and I'd allowed a quick 3 days to see and do whatever I could squeeze in. I started with a leap from the lions head and then a visit to Nelson Mandelas prison on Robben Island. A trip to the fluffy African penguins down at Boulders Beach and then met 4 Germans and another Aussie who together hiked up Table Mountain. At the top the clouds flowed over the apostles like a slow motion waterfall and when the sun eventually set the sight was truly majestic.



Soon after I was meeting up with Leow Mei Yi in Kuala Lumper, Malaysia. A friend who's studying at Utas she insisted that I should come to over so she could show me her country. To be honest after experiencing everything Africa had to offer I just couldn't get the energy to go out and explore properly. With 3 days Mei Yi and I just walked around the capital experiencing the culture: shopping, eating, fish foot massage, etc.. Id hate to be the fish that's gotta nibble feet all day but my feet loved it. I took a lot of willpower to do it since I'm extremely ticklish. Mei Yi on the other hand had no problems, she's pretty tough :o)

Hmm not as much Bobby humour in this blog compared to others. Maybe a lame joke will balance it out.

Q: What do snowmen eat for breakfast?
