After quickly packing up my room, you know it - back to the airport! I take a short walk down Market Street to the St James Station of Sydney Trains, which is right on the edge of Hyde Park. This station is close to 100 years old. After a very quick and efficient ride down … Continue reading Beginning the Return Trip

Finding my pace
The next morning, I start my "big" trip in Munich. So here we are back at the airport at 7 am. I popped into the Senator lounge near G24 for a pretzel and a cappuccino.

Also, in Bali, along with a good breakfast, the day … Continue reading Monkey Business

On our trips to the local places on "our street" and in to town, we've been amazed by how many things are transported … Continue reading First Few Days in Ubud
