Yes, I’m drooling.

I suspect and hope mangoes will be plentiful and cheap in Bali!

Try some durian while you are there.. if you can get over the smell :)

Don’t mind durian. Had it in Bangkok in 1986. And yes it really pongs, but tastes good!

Eugh, I can’t stand it. I had trouble even concentrating on the taste, it was the texture that got me. Just.. felt so wrong!

In Bunbury there is a walkway between the car park and the beach, about 10 metres above the sand. There’s bench seats overlooking the beach.

Restaurant about 50 metres down too, so it’s quite civilised..

actually, it is not windy in a hot air balloon, because you are moving with the wind.

I had an r2e2 tree grafted to a kingston pride rootstockand in the 4 years I have had it it didn’t do much fruit wiselast year it set fruit but dropped the lot a couple weeks later but the rootstock set and carried 1 mango to ripe. this year the nov heatwave caused all the set fruit to drop and the r2e2 couldn’t hack the heat and died but the rootstock is growing very well and green as can be …it just laughs at the 40-47C we had last week. as I dont know how if I take a pic I will send to lucky to put up for me …us old folk have to have a bit of help sometimes. :)
