One of the most characteristic objects of Manila are the Jeepny’s. The colorful long vehicles used as a public transportation. On our trip to Greenhills we started out on one of these.

Want some cheese with that wine?
A lot of Norwegians have knowledge about Australian wine. Jacobs creek has been served in a lot of homes over the years. We tried out some of Margarets River finest. Continue reading
10 best experiences in Indonesia
As we’re closing in our departure from Indonesia it may be a right time for wrapping up our “Top 10 Indonesian experiences”. The list is not rated.
Manta rays
One of the last things we did was snorkel and see Manta rays. The experience was amazing, and was spiced up with the fact that we found Lillian from Norway giving lectures about aquatic wildlife and Mantas in particular.

Rinjani
Our climb on Mt. Rinjani was tough, cold, rewarding and straight out awesome. We learned about ourselves and our limits answer enjoyed a sunrise from above 3700 meters.
Rinjani Summit 3726 meters
Rice filed trekking
The color green has been given a new meaning to us after our day in the rice fields. The sunlight through the rice plants were among out absolute favorites here. The fact that we ended up in an empty field by the guidance of an Australian guy, out from the house in “Eat, Pray, Love” made it just a touch more spectacular.

Cooking class
The day we spent cooking and doing it at a farm with handpicked veggies was great. The whole experience was fun and educational. That we spent it with just one other guest also adds to it.

Yoga achievement
We’ve been writing a lot about yoga in our time in Ubud. And our achievements there are highlights. Acro yoga with our new found fun, and the poses we make in the ordinary yoga.
Impossible-to-me Asana
Food
We have been
Into a lot of local warungs and tried their cuisine. This has been a cool your of Indonesia as we have met the locals outside the touristic areas. Some of our best meals have been had here. But it is also worth mentioning La Ramona and our great eating experience there.
Coffee
Four years ago we asked ourselves, in Bali, wether we were addicted to coffee. We did about 4 years on green tea alone until we again met Bali Kopi. The love in the reunite was instant, and we have now run away together, are planning our future and don’t care what anybody say about it.

Driving and surviving
We did it! We conquered the Indonesian traffic and should be awarded medals. But alas, there is no rest for the wicked. I guess we’ll head into the Philippino traffic to prove our worth.
Selfie time
Ganesha
We have come to love Ganesha during these first two months. The fact that we now have one shipped back is just super cool. The way it happened with Karma showing the way ( read the post of you haven’t) just spice up the story.

Water
The beaches and Senggigi and the pool are just two of the places where the water have been a dream. To go into it and sink down into liquid heaven. The feel of coolness and just relaxing.

Islands in the stream
Wednesday morning started with breakfast at Le Pirat. As they serve breakfast from 7:30, and that we needs to be on the road at that time did not stop us.
Just another manic Monday
And so it has arrived. Our last day in Ubud, and the start of preparation for our next chapter in the adventure book.
Cooking class
In our time here in Indonesia not one of the agreed meetings or pickups has been on time. We got the hotel to serve us breakfast one hour before normal serving time today, and guessed we would have time to eat before the pickup arrived. As if…

Acro fun fun fun
No big plans today except the acro yoga at 2 pm. We had breakfast at 8 am and then spent some time in the room reading and looking into stuff on the web. Although we are still Facebook absent, Arne discovered, through Twitter, that his sister and family just bought a house in Katy, Texas, where they are currently living. That is so cool! Congrats to them and we really hope to go visit them there! Brit has a blog about living in Texas as a Norwegian. It is in Norwegian, and can be found here: Solisinnet.bloggnorge.com

Emily. What a sweet and innocent name, and when you look like the nice teacher I had in second grade I’m all yours.
Little did I know what awaited.
Another day another dollar
I said when we moved to Tunjun Mas that we were to sleep better. That is true, as long as I don’t plant an elbow in Katja’s face during the night. It was not on purpose, I swear.
Back @ Tunjung Mas Bungalows

This morning we took our belongings and moved out if Savira home stay. It has been a pleasant experience, but there are some things Tunjung Mas offer that’s gonna be nice.
