We have only been here a couple of weeks and we have several experiences with the Bali medical services already, thanks mainly to Jetson! Jetson woke one evening with a sore ear. He was so upset it was hard to know exactly what was his problem. He was extremely sore in or around his ear. …
Walking To School Is An Adventure
We knew that going to a new school in a different country was going to be challenging for Olive, but we did not expect that the walk to school would be a part of that. We chose to stay at Bali T House as it was within walking distance from the school. We found out once we …
Great Day at Taro Elephant Safari Park

We’re off to Bali
We have finally made the decision to move to Bali. It is not a decision that has been taken lightly, though to many of our friends and family it has come out of the blue. I don't expect that many people are that surprised, we do not tend to stay in one place for too …
