Have a nice calm Easter

Hope you all have a nice Easter holiday. Where ever you are in the world.

Here is some amazing eggs - handpainted in typical patterns from Bali, in Indonesia. A photo I took just on my trip there in march this year.

These flowers grow in my garden today, and whith them and this photo I send you all my wishes for a beautiful and Happy Easter!!

The Gilli islands

During my recent trip to Indonesia I also visited the Gilli islands, not just Bali. I stayed at the biggest of the three Gilli islands, just outside Bali and Lombok, Gilli Travangang.

It was some years ago just a place for backpacker tourist, young people from all over the world.

Today it is so much more, they have made it, for better and worse, to a place for all kind of turists.

I stayed at a four star hotel with an outside bathroom, Villa Ombak. As you can see in the pic here, but the shower had just salt water.

But one thing has not changed, there is no cars on the islands. Just horses, even for transports.

And here is a pic from the boat trip there, this is Gilli Air from the boat.

Asian breakfast

Having a nice breakast is always a pleasure in Asia, and this time in Bali was no exception.

Fresh fruit, home made cakes a glass of juice and hot coffee with milk.

I can also give you a photo of Balinese fastfood, from a stall outside a market.

And a pic from one of the lovely hotels I stayed in, Puri Bagus Lovina, in Lovina, Bali.

One more photo from the hotel - and the pool here.

Indonesia - temples and rice fields

Just came back from a trip to Indonesia, to Bali and Gilli Travangang. A lovely trip with temples, sea, sun and rice fields.

And as always there is Asian beauty like this rice fields, from Bali. A lot of green.

But it also had a lot of magic moments, like this dragon in a lake...
