Paradise Found

I know, i know, it’s been a while. Two and a half weeks have passed and all there is to show is one lousy video of a grasshopper. This lack of documentation might suggest not a great deal has happened over the last few weeks or perhaps that i have been busy both working and [...]

Bilgola beach, on Sydneys north shore
Sunday, woke up couldn’t resist checking the score from previous days Chelsea Hull city game, nil nil, unreal more than worthy of a viewing. After popping out for coffee, settled down to watch a recording of the game. Bloody enthralling it was too, possibilities to steal it. The straw that [...]

worth a try in a flat spell
Finally got round to the padang padang surf camp post. What a spot, located about 40 mins from kuta and 5 minutes drive to Uluwatu. In my usual style, presumed there’d  be room at the inn without actually booking. I had pretty much fixated on the place after checking out [...]

Anyone passing by the south coast of Sri Lanka would be a fool to pass this little gem by. Run by a total star, mr Ratner. Great food, i could be stranded there for months and it would still be a delight to see fish curry rice turning up at the table, or maybe prawn [...]

Sunrise Sessions

December 11th, 2008 No Comments
