We had spent a few months planning our trip to Bali and Indonesia blissfully unaware that the Covid-19 virus which was ramping up on the other side of the world would inevitably touch our lives and put an end to overseas travel for quite some time. We had some knowledge that something was coming but we were unaware of the severity of the pandemic. Bali seemed like the perfect place to visit right after the Xmas hype, a well earned relaxing, interesting and fun holiday… and it was! Bali with its restaurants, beaches, markets, temples and mountains was lovely. Jogjakarta was fascinating,...…We had spent a few months planning our trip to Bali and Indonesia blissfully unaware that the Covid-19 virus which was ramping up on the other side of the world would inevitably touch our lives and put an end to overseas travel for quite some time.

We came to Tinopai for a couple of days to escape the city and it was the perfect rural, seaside retreat. It’s a small settlement with just a few permanent residents; at this time of the year most of the holiday makers have left. I spent one Xmas holidays here many years ago with my parents but the details are kind of sketchy. I’m not exactly sure where we stayed and what we did most of the time but I do recall living off the sea. Dad would catch snapper and I would dig in the sand for toheroas with Mum. It was a happy carefree time and I have wonderful memories of a long hot summer here....…We came to Tinopai for a couple of days to escape the city and it was the perfect rural, seaside retreat.
