BOOTSNALL IN BALI
Nick's had his share of visitors recently, too. His friend from Germany, Andrea, recently left after spending a month exploring the area. She had some interesting insights on traveling in Indonesia. Nick's friend Mick also returned home to Australia after living in Bali for two years.
Nick has also been busy reviewing different businesses in the area including a vegetarian restaurant, a Mexican restaurant and getting into shape at a local gym.
Nick celebrated his 41st birthday in the past two weeks as well. Happy birthday Nick!
