Tokyo

 Asia » Japan » Tokyo
A quick stop in this frenetic city... So different, so caothic yet so organized. We had few embarrasing moments today ... but people are incredibly polite and helpful! We started the day at the fish market... had a good suhi breakfast... The frenzy here is something that cannot be taken on picture! We cruised the city for the rest of the day: old town Asakusa where our hotel was, Shinjuku with its shops, Akhibara 'electic city', Ginza is 'the' fashion place, Rippongi is the expression of the modern Japaneese architecture, and metro is definitevely a place of its own... to be [View Full Entry]

Our last destination on this continent: Melbourne and the Great Ocean Road. Wow... What a nice place this city... Here it is all about good time and good food! A place to be. We love it! Today we also did the Great Ocean Road tour... Saw some koalas in the wild, drove next to the amazing cliffs and green fields (so different from the rest of the 'red' Australia) and took a helicopter ride over the 12 Apostoles.... Check out the pics! [View Full Entry]

...and we are back from the wilderness. Three days of basic camping in the middle of the Kakadu NP was quite an experience! I'm underlining the word basic because it was really, really basic. To give you an idea of the toilet: a hole in the ground behind a bush around here known as dunny . Ha-ha! But we survived and feel as real 'bushmen' by now. For the rest - this place is really beautiful! We had lots of fun, lots of beautiful views and did quite some hiking and swimming too. Luckily - no crocks showed up for a [View Full Entry]

Yeap - we got here... our 'mid-road' destination : Broome. Really nice, tropical town, with a first class backpackers resort: palm trees, swimming pool with a bar, BBQ... plus the beautiful beach around the corner and sunny weather guaranteed! We're in late autumn here but it doesn't go bellow 25C! This is heaven for backpackers!!! No wonder they tend to stick around! But ... we need to move on tonight... on greyhound to Darwin... 26h trip! No worries... we need the 'rest'. Yesterday we visited Karijini NP: again lots of gorges to climb into... All JW's dreams are coming true: the [View Full Entry]

So ... these past two days we spent most of the time on the road, covering kilometers, in the desert and its few resorts... Coral bay, then Exmouth, Auski... Direction Broome. Being on the road is quite interesting actually... we made friends with fellows backpackers and had lots of fun spotting wildlife of the area ('roos). Last night we camped in the middle of the Karijini NP desert... A bit scarry - especially after hearing all the snake & scorpion stories just before bedtime from our guide... which would inevitably end : "no worries though... if you get bitten we have [View Full Entry]

Just a morning stop in this beautiful place... Monkey Mia. Small bay and lots of dolphins! They come to the bay on their will to get maybe a fish or two and catch the glimps of the locals. Amazing feeling! Not sure who observes who though... The afternoon we went to the 'Shell beach'... the name says it all. No sand here... just lots and lots of shels... Really pristine. Great for a swim... Just as we imagined the Western Australia... [View Full Entry]

Sooo... . after two days of travelling - we have seen and done an amazing amounts of things! Pinnacle Desert was our first stop - we knew what to expect yet - once there - it is so different than on the pictures one sees... totally strange experience... From there we went to Kalbarri. On our way we fed little kangaroos and JW played with a python. I didn't dare, but I did take a little "Thorny Devil" in my hand - only because I know he is harmless. This morning we went into Kalbarri National Park. It was quite a [View Full Entry]

WA - Perth

 Oceania » Australia » Western Australia » Perth
Hey all, first sorry to say - that also on this internet place there are no possibilities to upload the pics... really sorry for that as we'd really like to share our adventure. But - here in the loneliest city in the world (no other big city nearby for over thousands of kms) all the computers are properly locked and we can't access the USB connection... We'll keep trying though... and then upload backwards... The good news is ... that we are still having fun! Perth is really nice! A big, but layed back city... Full of parks... they even have [View Full Entry]

Hey Guys! This thing (Uluru) is really glowing! We thought it gets a little bit more shiner or something when the sun sets... but it DOES glow! Useless to say that we are HOT HOT HOT here! Yeah - just the way we like it! Things are super busy: we went to Uluru rock, hiked around it, watched it in the sunrise, in the sun set, from distant and from close ... what was there to do 'with' it - we certainly did it! We also went to Kata Tjuta: another set of 'rocks'. Less famous but super for a little [View Full Entry]

So... today we went to the Blue Mountains - to check out the Three Sisters and hike through the rain forest... What we did is saw 'one sister' and hiked through - appropriately - rainy rainforest! Totally soaked within minutes we walked for kilometers through the mud and rain, under the waterfalls and up the cliffs... it was definitevely an extraordinary experience. What it wasn't - is 'breathtaking' from the panorama point of view! The thick fog never lifted and we didnt' get to see more than few meters ahead of us... that is - until we boarded the train to [View Full Entry]
