Very few, if any, cities remain untouched by the street art craze; Sydney is no exception. No longer a form of rebellion, street art is now often created as part of an urban beautification scheme or to promote tourism. This exciting form of artistic expression is becoming increasingly popular and is popping up in cities worldwide. And no wonder. Many millennia ago, the impulse to leave our mark on our environment was set in stone (excuse the pun). That is to say, cave drawings date back 44,000 years in Indonesia, and Spain believes it has cave art dating as far back as 64,000 years.

What can I say about 2020? It has undoubtedly been a year of ups and downs for most people, I am sure. For us, 2020 has been 366 days of love, excitement and fun, as well as frustration, fear and bafflement. We have, surprisingly, still managed to do quite a lot of travelling during this time. – 7 flights took us 10,658km by air. We sailed two boats 6461 nautical miles and we enjoyed road trips and camping and travelled 4300km on land.

Street vendors peddling delicious local balinese foods are a common sight on the streets of Bali. Many of my favourite Balinese foods are sold by street vendors, either from their street stall or food carts. Street foods sold on the streets of Bali, and in fact all of Indonesia, are varied, cheap and tasty.
