… if you can speak of “dry” during the wet season… Actually it wasn’t too bad. We did have massive, soaking rain falls, flooding and all that – but it’s always just for an hour or two – the rest of the day was mostly fine (still cloudy though). We were a bit surprised to [...]
Unfortunately I couldn’t use my 7D for too many pictures underwater because the flash mount broke (NOT underwater)… So the first pictures are 7D with flash, then some 7D without and then it’s back to my 10yr-old Olympus 4040z.
Boarding the JetStar flight JQ81 from Darwin to Denpasar made us feel like boarding a tourist charter plane from Germany to Mallorca – or UK to Cyprus. Many of the passengers were noisy, drunk and not familiar with most of the inflight protocol/behavior. Good that we wouldn’t stay on Kuta, but were heading on to [...]
