Well. 

What more can I say other than I miss Bali!

Ubud is probably my favourite place in Bali and we were so sad to leave! 

While there we decided to venture off the standard tourist track and go hiking through the rice fields and jungle. After only getting lost once and a very close encounter with as snake when it came out from the rice field and went right over my shoes, we arrived at the restaurant Sari Organik to have an organic lunch looking over the rice fields. 

As you can probably tell we also ate very well in Ubud, did a lot of swimming and went shopping in the market almost every day.

Next post... Kuta Bali!

TRANCE

wearing: Motel Rocks Playsuit, vintage necklace, bracelets and watch from Ubud markets in Bali.

Happy Friday lovely readers!

As you can probably tell from the drastic change of clothes from coats to shorts, my Bali posts are back!

I am so happy to receive such lovely comments about my travel posts so hope you like these!

I wore this amazingly bright floral playsuit by Motel to a traditional Kecak dance in Ubud that we always go and see on our Bali trips. At the end of the dance, one man is put into a 'trance' and walks through coals made by coconut husks (footage to come in video form later).

And I'm sure you're dazzled by my perfectly legit "Chanel" watch that I picked up in Ubud markets. But honestly, I like it. I'm already missing my tanned skin! More Ubud photos to come.

MONA / Hobart in 24hrs

After breakfast, we wanted to visit the Cascade Brewery. Luckily it wasn't far from town and we were captivated by the view of the brewery with Mt Wellington as the backdrop. Also couldn't miss saying hello to the famous tasmanian tiger!

We then headed north where we had a lunch of cheese, bread and wine at the Moorilla Winery. At this point of the day I couldn't believe how lucky I was with the winter sun warming us as we sampled some of the best Tasmanian produce. 

Next on the list was MONA (Museum of Old and New Art). MONA has been compared to a labyrinth and I now understand the comparison as the venue has been built underground (3 basement levels)! How amazing is that water instillation?! See my Hobart travel video below for a better look!

I hope you've enjoyed my travel posts to Hobart and thank you to everyone who has been leaving such lovely comments on my posts, Facebook and twitter! This is why I love blogging!

24HRS IN HOBART

Halfway through our 24hrs in Hobart we woke early to drink tea and watch the sunrise from the mind blowing, ChuckBass-style, Penthouse suite at the Lenna. We then had a looksie around the hotel to explore the bar and old school lookout that the original owner once used to see out to the harbour.

Next stop was the Jackman & McRoss Bakery which was highly recommended by locals. After eating their huge claypot breakfast, I now know why it is so loved as it was divine and the perfect start to the day! One of the yummiest tarts (raspberry and cream cheese) I've EVER had was also a highlight as we drove to our next location unable to resist it's sweetness.

Part 2 of our day in Hobart for Hooroo is still to come! Including Cascade brewery, Moorilla winery and MONA!
