ATMs

This might be a weird topic, but it’s something that shocked both me and Petri in Bali. As far as I can recall, majority of all countries I’ve visited and used an ATM machine in, follows the same pattern. Insert your card, pin, how much you want to withdraw, with/without receipt, card comes out, cash […]

Sleepless high above

Recently we have had a few travel days planned in and the idea is that “we have the chance to sleep then”. I’m usually sleep ok during flights, to Petri’s annoyance. So we had planned a night flight from Bali to Melbourne, starting at 21.00, and being about 6 hours long. Arriving rested and ready […]
