Ross’ Ramblings – Travel tips from early Bali days

July 18, 2024 No Comments

The first time I left NZ was in 1973, off on the required OE, bound for Southeast Asia. Boy, was I excited. During the flight I sat next to an effeminate guy. We chatted away and before touching down in Bali I woke up and realised my sleeping head had been resting on his shoulder. I apologised profusely but he was very nice and patted me on the leg and suggested I go and stay with him in a flash resort at Nusa Dua.

Coromandel’s Coastal Revelation

It’s a moment in history that we have all simultaneously dreamed of and dreaded. A moment that may very well shake the core beliefs of every person, not just in the Coromandel Peninsula, but every coastal town in the whole world. This indeed may be the moment that nomads, couples and even families decide to never bother visiting the beach again. It is at this very moment that we announce that the search is indeed over. For all of us. As local Coromandel primary school student Bella Ride has found the most perfect, most singularly spectacular sea shell in existence.
