Nyepi – or “Balinese New Year” aka “Day of Silence”. So what did we do today? Nothing really. Got up, had breakfast, walked around the hotel premises, took some pictures, wrote my blog (you wouldn’t have noticed, would you?), had lunch, surfed the internet.

We met up with Anna – a friend of mine from Frankfurt, who just came over to Sydney a week ago – to live and study here. She joined us for a weekend trip to the Blue Mountains where we visited the Three Sisters at Echo Point in Katoomba, took the Skyway Gondola at Scenic […]
