"I think we're lucky we've got a mystery to think about"



On our recent epic bike trip to Warburton we stumbled upon a home built in my all time favourite architectural style: "Crazy Hippie". This place was a work of art, with so many cozy stained glass lit nooks and crannies that one could sit in and pen a folk song or knead a loaf of rustic homemade bread. I immediately wanted to know who lived there so I could move in with them and raise a brood of hippie bebehs... opps, I mean solve the mystery of who had created such a strange and mystical abode.

Luckily, thanks to another strange and mystical place - The Internets - we managed to solve the mystery... meet Boinga Bob!

"Every day in life, you should push your mind a little further"

I might not be ready to push my mind *quite* as far as Bob's... but still... words we can all live by, non?

Helga's Folly

As soon as I heard about Helga's crazy over-decorated "anti-hotel" in the hills of Kandy it went straight to the top of my list of places to visit. Luckily Helga's is open for meals for those not rich/ brave enough to spend the night (I think I fall into both those categories!) so I was able to spend an lovely afternoon taking in the chaotic surrounds and visual overload that is Helga's Folly...

For those who can't afford the airfare to Sri Lanka just yet, this website gives you a taste of the Helga experience!
