After more than 40 hours in transit, including an Uber ride, two 10 hour flights, a night at the Airport Hotel in Doha, a very short stay in a hotel in Seminyak, Bali, several taxi rides, 2 hours on a boat, a terrible sunburn, and one ride in a horse-drawn carriage, we are finally on the tiny island of Gili Trawangan, just off Bali, in Indonesia.

I’m going to be travelling in Bali for the next couple of weeks, where we will be celebrating the wedding of my little sister Jonti, and her beloved Aussie, Nick.

I won’t be blogging much until I get back, but you can follow my travels on Instagram @tailsofamermaid. I’ll also be Snapping now and then, so you can follow me there @natalieroos.
We plan on chilling, eating, drinking, snorkeling, attending a beautiful wedding in the jungle and soaking up the vibe in Ubud. So if you need a little virtual escape from the office, or a little inspiration for your next holiday, follow along.

Loved Bali when I was there – so sad I missed this place (definitely on my bucketlist if I go there again)
Looks great!
