This blog documents the feeding of our travel addiction - one country at a time. Travel is an essential part of our life, and we'll continue to travel until our addiction wanes (which probably won't be in this lifetime)! The more we travel, the more we see; and the more we see, the more we understand that we know so little - which is a brilliant thing. We love the little corner of south eastern Australia we call home, but we are at our happiest when throwing ourselves into a new adventure and experiencing new cultures.

Best snorkelling ever
The best snorkelling I have ever done was in Indonesia. I was on a tour from Lombok to Komodo. On the way we took a break in a strait between two islands where we could swim and snorkel.

So all you had to do was to lie still in the water and the current slowly transported you over the coral beds. /Ake

I was in Indonesia in 2002. So it was more than 20 years ago. /Ake
