Also went to find some art materials, met a local artist who told us of a good art shop (a real rarety), so picked up a sketch book and some paints and paintbrushes....spent the rest of the day painting/drawing indonesian antiques while lolling about in our garden under a big fruit tree (a spiky pear?). So tommorow were off at 7:30am and then back in yogya early evening....off on saturday at 9am to Bromo volcano-one of the most famous in java for gorg views- then straight on towards Bali! It works out cheaper that we do the trip with a tour company (300,000rp approx 17quid) and will mean airconditioned minibus instead of 10hrs on a train which we have already done this week!
was nice to get a comment from mazza and bazza, hailstorms seem a long way off guys! Keep on going onto the BBC news to see if i can find anything out about the floods in the north but not having much luck....any news?
Well anyway am off to Bromo on saturday then the next day should be in Bali quite late, in time to find a nice beach to relax on for jens 19th birthday on 13th.....TOTALLY freaked out about marine life though....loads of sharks, water snakes and every deadly fish/etc imaginable-it'll take a miracle to get me in the water!!!!:P
xxxxx love to all

You've faced crocs and quicksand ... next sharks and deadly fish!!! I'm already gobsmacked by how intrepid you are!
We had 2.5 cm of rain both
yesterday and today (a bit belated, but we've started a rain gauge in the garden!)
Flooding has been knocked off the top news spot by Alan Johnston's release from captivity (wed am) in Gaze. Great joy!
Small clip of Prince Charles wobbling about with bodyguard in a boat, somewhere, visiting the flooded folks. Many complaints about nothing being done, disease potential, etc. Worst disaster since WWII, I think they said ... as regards clean up operation, anyway.
Hale stones!!! In Whitstable! Does that mean they actually get some crap weather too!!! LOL!
All the folks reading this ... it's getting a bit like a carepage! Maybe we can operate it like interactive TV and send you missions and challenges! Living vicariously through you! Can you post some of your paintings?
love
Yes we had 2cm hailstones in Whitstable. Hard enough to break some of the plants. Glad we didn't get hit by any, it would have been painful.
The pics of Prince Charles wobbling about in an inflateable boat dressed in his suit were headed 'his royal dryness'.
Good luck with the sharks and deadly fish Bex.
