Our little actress

There comes a time in every child's life when they fall in love with themselves through their own reflection. Maya loves nothing more than staring at herself in the mirror, making all kinds of faces, especially after bath.

Peter Visits Indonesia

Our 2nd visitor has just come and gone. It was a great few weeks spending more time with my brother than I have ever done before. Maya certainly loved spending time with her "Wojo Peter", especially playing her favorite game of "What's your name?". Peter and I were able to get away for a few days for a wonderful trip around Bali. A few days chilling at the beach was followed by an extremely rocky boat trip to Nusa Penida Island. Despite having amazing snorkeling, unfortunately did not impress us due to the rough waters to and from the island. We took a breathtaking bike tour through the rice paddies and villages of Ubud and were extremely lucky to come across the early celebrations of the Balinese holiday Nyepi. After some shopping, we drove to the second largest volcano on the island, Mount Batur. The drive to and from the volcano allowed us to visit a number of Balinese temples, coffee plantations, and local markets throughout central Bali.

The morning after arriving back in Jakarta, we drove to the Puncak (embassy owned cottage approx. 1hr outside the city), where the boys got to enjoy another game of golf. A relaxing weekend by the pool led us back to the city for more dinners out, movies and of course massages.

Thanks for the visit Peter and hopefully you will look back fondly at the new experiences and memories made.
