| 22nd October 2009 Fran | Colmar - From: Colmar, the most beautiful city in the world! Yes, Colmar is one of the most beautifull villages that i visited. Annecy is very beatifull too, and my home...Barcelona :P |
| 3rd October 2009 Zara | Belle Ville! - From: Colmar, the most beautiful city in the world! Wow! What a beautiful city! Now,I am desperate to go to France.The way the houses are build are amazing,it's so much different from other houses,beautiful windows...even though they look kind of an old-fashioned house,they still are very beautiful!A really cool place to live...J'adore sa!! Colmar,C'est sympa! |
| 6th September 2009 Yasmin Svarc | I fell in <3 with Prague - From: Czeching out Praha Prague in the Czech Republic is the most beautiful, breathtaking city in the world! It's a fairytale wonderland, the food is the best, soooo rich and hearty, and the beer is really cheap! I live in Australia and have Czech background- when I went there I felt like I belonged there (one of the tourists in my tour group said it was "cellular". I am definately going back next year and staying at Hotel YASMIN again! Plus I want to buy a bigger Babooshka Doll :-D |
| 31st May 2009 Shelle | I love your pix! - From: Colmar, the most beautiful city in the world! I have yet to be to France, but after seeing your pictures, I really want to go. :) |
| 4th March 2009 james May | does it exist - From: Roadtrip to Rotterdam I have to laugh about the Austrian ice cream. Living here, I am finding a lot of things 'American', that I have never seen or heard of. Hahaa |
| 23rd May 2008 Susin | Looking back... - From: Roadtrip to Rotterdam It's strange to look back over this, a year later, and read my thoughts on Rottoerdam vs. Amsterdam. Looking back, if I were to visit one of the two cities again it would actually be Amsterdam. I don't think Rotterdam has that much more to offer while Amsterdam has so much more history. Just shows how various factors happening at the time skewed my opinions. |
| 2nd March 2008 Heidi | beautiful... - From: These are a few of my favourite things Well Ive never really considered France to be place where I would like to go but after reading your travel blog and reading your journal I am definately reconsidering. Beautifully written and I loved the pics Susin! x |
| 6th January 2008 Maa | More Tears! - From: These are a few of my favourite things Couldn't read this without more tears - just like the last entry. What a great year you have had Susin & so many wonderful memories. Thankyou for sharing it all. I am sure there will be many other long stints in Europe for you but this has definitely been very special. Safe journeying. Love Maa xx |
| 31st December 2007 Susin | Yes and no - From: I'm Dreaming of a White.... Boxing Day! It's worth it when it snows, but it snows around zero so it's never quite as cold when it snows, but around -7° and colder I'm thinking "take me home!". You also have to factor in the fact that you have so little daylight, so if you're on holidays you have to get up and about quite early. Also, you have to buy so many clothes to keep you warm... for me it was worth it, but I'm sure we'll discuss it more in A WEEK when I'm back home! |
| 31st December 2007 Amanda | Is it really worth it??? - From: I'm Dreaming of a White.... Boxing Day! So to the cold freak! Is the freezing weather really worth the beauty that it looks in the pics?? Really want to know, as it looks fantastic on film, but... is the cold worth it? Remeber we are thinking of going back to Europe Dec/Jan 2011 and experience similar, but is it a good idea or no? Looking forward to seeing you back here soon and hearing all about it. Love us xxxxxxxzz |
| 28th December 2007 Susin | You're a funny one! - From: I'm Dreaming of a White.... Boxing Day! Hey mum, blog is just a contraction of web log; (we)blog. You crack me up :-) |
| 28th December 2007 Maa | I have tears in my eyes - From: I'm Dreaming of a White.... Boxing Day! I can't believe I have read a whole year of your blog (I don't even know what 'blog' stands for!). It was so lovely seeing the snow pictures and your Christmas scenes. Thankyou for sharing your journey - I really do have tears in my eyes!! |
| 24th December 2007 Lorri Poiroux | Budapest! - From: Czeching out Praha Love your pictures, can relate to the crowds. I am blessed to be living in the Balkans right now but had the amazing opportunity to spend a month in Hungary, Budapest to be exact. Absolutely beautiful city (two actually, Buda and Pest)like Prague WITHOUT the crowds!!!!Some of your pix look almost exactly like mine! If you can...go there. You will be glad you did. We will be going back. |
| 24th December 2007 Maa | Another Wonderful Entry - From: Czeching out Praha Wow again. What an interesting year we have spent sharing your adventures - thankyou. |
| 13th December 2007 Susin | No snow! - From: Swiss Cheese & Basel No, all white stuff on market stands is polyester! Trust me, if it had been snowing everyone would hear about it!! It's been between 4-8° lately, not really cold enough for snow. I would love to have a white Christmas but I'm not holding my breath. |
| 13th December 2007 Maa | Another item at last! - From: Swiss Cheese & Basel How lovely that you have had time for another visit and another item for us to read. I though I could spy white stuff on the market stands - wondering if it was snow or ice. You haven't mentioned anything about seeing snow again yet. I hope you manage to have white Christmas this year!! |
| 14th November 2007 Maa | At last! - From: If only I had more time... and money So lovely to get another blog update. Glad JB has his visa. It is SO different seeing the photos now that I have seen the places in reality - Just great!!! Enjoy the cold experience for like other experiences in life it will pass & hopefully turn into a lovely memory! |
| 6th November 2007 ilchicag | Wonderful blog! - From: Autumn Leaves Hello, I just wanted to drop a note to say that I've read some of your blogs and I've really enjoyed them! I've been thinking about living in France after I graduate school and have now put Strasbourg as a place to consider. It seems so beautiful, and your photos really capture that. :) |

| 7th September 2007 Maa | Wow, Wow, Wow!! - From: So long summer.... I've just read the last two entries. You are really packing in an amazing year Susin - how interesting. Glad you enjoyed that trip away and got to see even more of France. Hope returning to uni isn't too much of a culture shock!! |
| 6th September 2007 Susin | Amanda - From: Lautrecking across France I really don't know.... |
| 6th September 2007 Susin | Janna - From: Lautrecking across France Yeah, actually there are lots of those kinds of rumours and that's what the Treasure of Montsegur is actually based on - but although the story is factual in regards to history it's actually just a fictional story about a woman who lived through the Inquistion. Still very good though! |
| 6th September 2007 Amanda | Wow what a trip! - From: Lautrecking across France Wow, the pictures look fantastic, what a wonderful trip you are having... however will you return home?? |
| 6th September 2007 Janna | - From: Lautrecking across France that trip looks so fantastic! Now Montsegur is on my list of places to go, too! Isn't there also some stroy about the Holy Grail having been stored there at some stage...? Not sure though |
| 31st August 2007 Jeebs | Liar - From: 7 Days in rainy London I'm shure you've deleted my comment I'm so dissapointed!!! |
| 13th August 2007 Amanda | Venice and Rome... - From: When in Rome.... Hi, having trouble posting comments, really wanted to post it on Venice. Wow! Venice look sooo cool... I can't believe how clear the water looks, always imagined it dirty brown for some reason. Really looks like a great place to visit. Rome too would have been very interesting, just dripping in history. Happy Birthday for the 15th! Kiara had a great 18th party, will try n send some pics. Love us x |
| 10th August 2007 Maa | Beautiful Pictures - From: When in Rome.... Really enjoyed both your Venice & Rome entries - sounds like you had a great holiday. |
| 9th August 2007 Susin | Pure laziness... - From: If Venice Sinks then so will my Heart Yeah, probably a good idea to download it yourself - otherwise you know it'd be a month before I got around to sending it to you! |
| 9th August 2007 Kristian | Ahhhh - From: If Venice Sinks then so will my Heart Ahh memories. I have never looked at photos of a destination so many times and they've managed to illicit a sigh each time. I've downloaded your sleeping gondolier man, so 'grazie mille' for that one! |

| 23rd June 2007 Maa | Wow!! - From: Colmar, the most beautiful city in the world! It is hard to believe that that is all real. It is just so different to Australia. A friend of mine from work went to a wedding in Colmar recently and she did say how beautiful it was there. Amazing |
| 17th June 2007 Kristian | Lamps - From: Mmmm.... Belgiun waffles! I look forward to your upcoming calendar- 'Lamps of Europe 2008' ;-P |

| 4th May 2007 Susin | What kind of Australian am I? - From: Roadtrip to Rotterdam What a poor representation of Australia I am then if I've never even had Australian icecream! |
| 4th May 2007 Anna | Australian ice cream rocks - From: Roadtrip to Rotterdam are you kidding you have never heard of australian ice cream. it's the best. and the chocolate too. i used to work next door to one in Pitt st mall and it provided our 3pm sugar fix on many occasions. there's even one in bondi junction westfield.... remember that place.... loving your blog babe. |
| 3rd May 2007 Maa | Love the Australian Icecream - From: Roadtrip to Rotterdam You gotta love advertisers - they will use any angle. Australia is so far away - who is going to know!! looks like it was a great trip - hopefully being the only female you got spoilt!! |
| 28th April 2007 Janna | Beautiful - From: Springtime in Strasbourg Wow! It's so beautiful. I can't wait to visit. Not long now :) Miss you. |
| 27th April 2007 Maa | Wow - From: Springtime in Strasbourg I think it would have been great for us to come in springtime. Wow what beautiful scenery. People are really aware of the 4 seasons in Europe whereas we really only have two in Australia. Enjoy! |

| 8th April 2007 Maa | Happy Easter - From: Did you eat a clown this morning? I am sure you are enjoying a wonderful French Easter in your own Australian way! |

| 14th March 2007 Amanda | Photo's - From: A princess traveller in a hostel Yeah I think all your pics are amazing too, that's a great camera you have. The one thing I really want from my trip is to buy a really good digital camera and have great photo's and video from it from our trip, I'd be happy to come home with nothing but great photo's from my new great camera... Glad to see you are travelling a bit, got to make the most of your location. Really enjoying the bloggs x ps. moving on 30/3 yippee!!! |
| 11th March 2007 Maa | What an experience - From: A princess traveller in a hostel It's great to see you are managing to really experience Europe during your stay. I can't imagine anyone seeing Anne Frank's hiding place to not cry - what a terrible blight on our 'civilisation'. Keep up the great journals and photos!! |
| 10th March 2007 Susin | Thank you! - From: A princess traveller in a hostel Thank you, I'm so glad someone understands my lamp fascination!! Everytime I see one now and reach for my camera Laura just rolls her eyes! But if you think these pics are good you should check out the travel photos button at the top of the page, there are so many amazing pics out there, better than any postcard you'll ever see xx |
| 9th March 2007 nicers | thats awesome - From: A princess traveller in a hostel id love to see inside Anne franks house i will so have to do that one day, it was the first B&W movie i saw and loved and to see the real thing would be amazing. your pictures are great i especially love the lamps as thats something i would take a photo of, and the man with the birds was great, even photographers from my work say that they are really good. you should be a journalist! |
| 9th March 2007 Susin | Videos - From: Lily Allen! I don't know maa, maybe your computer's dumb and old! Ask Coralie what she did to see the videos because they worked for her, or maybe just try to look at it on someone else's computer? |
| 9th March 2007 Maa | Cant See Video's - From: Lily Allen! Don't know what it is but I can't see any of the videos you have put on. |
| 24th February 2007 Kristian | Can't drink yourself a pair of socks? - From: Stilettos on Ice I thought I could make myself more attractive to others by drinking- who would of thought that you couldn't get a basic accessory like socks happening on a couple of bottles of .75 Euro red? :-) The photo of the sunset really is stunning. |
| 23rd February 2007 Susin | Good Idea! - From: Le Salon de Viticulture; otherwise known as Heaven! I haven't got around to trying that yet, but it sounds like a challenge!! |
| 23rd February 2007 Amanda | It worked... - From: Le Salon de Viticulture; otherwise known as Heaven! Hey there, my subscribe to your blogg thingy finally worked. Got to read it straight away this time. Wow, sounds like you are in your element there. But what about the 'real' champagne? How does that compare? |
| 23rd February 2007 Maa | Looking forward to that wine - From: Le Salon de Viticulture; otherwise known as Heaven! Some kind of student excursion that was!! I am really looking forward to that wine - if you manage not to drink it before then! |
| 21st February 2007 Maa | You crack me up! - From: Soap on a …… stick? Am just enjoying all your journals - we get to nearly have as much fun as you and don't have to learn another language! |
| 21st February 2007 Maa | Wow - From: My New Love on Valentine's Day I can see why you are in love (you didn't get me though - I could see the punch line). Never-the-less another fantastic read - writing is definitely one of your fortes. |

| 21st February 2007 Amanda | Video - From: Stilettos on Ice Hi yeah video didn't work for me either which I was spewing about, cos I really wanted to see it. Will try at work with a faster speed computer? Still enjoying the stories... |
| 21st February 2007 Amanda | WOW!!! - From: First Snow!! Fantastic! What a great experience, I would absolutely love that. The only time I saw snow was last time in Tassie and it was amazing... Wish I was there for that, but not the cold bit. |
| 21st February 2007 Amanda | Belated comment... - From: First Week Gday Susin, I really enjoyed your blogg when I first saw it and got the kids to look too.

| 28th January 2007 Janna | Sundays! - From: The City that Sleeps Welcome to European Sundays! Did you know that in conservative catholic parts of Europe people even get mad at you if you do housework? Sunday is supposed to be the day of rest.... ;) I have heard of people calling the police because their neighbours hung their washing out outside.... Crazy! |
