| 13th October 2009 tezzakezza | - From: Bled ooh, i love the look of this place too...also on the list!! Your hotel looks interesting here. And I do like the sound of a coffee overlooking the lake and mountains!! X K |
| 13th October 2009 tezzakezza | - From: Korcula ....ok, its on my list now, looks stunning!! X K |
| 13th October 2009 tezzakezza | - From: Amsterdam and Nijmegen Hi Sharyn!! I enjoyed reading about Amsterdam, we loved it here, and have fond memories of wandering around the beautiful streets, looking at the wonderful houses and picturesque canals....and yes, the very fascinating, not hiding ANYTHING red light district... an interesting experience, even more so after dark!! We also enjoyed the yummy hot cones of chips, and did a canal cruse too while we were there, and had...according to my diary...the BEST cup of coffee at a canal side cafe!!! Mmm, i thought it was just coffee, but in retrospect i'm wondering what made it so special!! We also did see the house of Anne Frank, although had to try twice, on the 1st attempt the line was way too long. I'd grown up reading her book more than once, so enjoyed that....although they were doing some renovations at the time, so not all of it was accessible, so a little disappointing in the end. Ahh, memories!! X Keri |
| 23rd September 2009 Hedins | - From: Sarajevo and Mostar Great history Sharyn ...... yes the river took me back to Willy Wonka. Oh that chocolate brown colour!! |
| 23rd September 2009 Hedins | - From: Sarajevo and Mostar I would love to sit in the Monstar Bar on a stinking hot day with a nice cold beer. |
| 23rd September 2009 Hedins | Hi from Di - From: Sarajevo and Mostar What an amazing bridge! |
| 23rd September 2009 Hedins | Hi from Di - From: The Netherlands Great to see where Lovice and family live. What a beautiful country! |
| 18th September 2009 tezzakezza | - From: The Netherlands Michaela said she would like to go to the Ape Zoo. I'm thinking maybe we could donate Liam to start a new exhibit of cheeky monkey's...and I'm sure he'd like to share his own version of a gibbon shower!! What a great time it sounds like you had with Lovice and family, relaxed and so lovely to have a change of pace, to be able to slow down and recharge the battery's. Very nice spot to do it in too... |
| 13th September 2009 tanglefish | Keri commenting - From: Valencia Hey Keri I love reading your comments....it's great to know what people think as they read and look at the photos.. Definitely not too boring (that's what I think about my write-ups). Thanks for taking the time to comment. Sharyn XO |
| 11th September 2009 tezzakezza | - From: London Ahh London, brings a smile to my face. Not beautiful in the same sense that a lot of Europe is, but it is so unique and full of such iconic names and places...like the Monopoly board, as you said. |
| 11th September 2009 tezzakezza | - From: Barcelona So you've finally got to see that impressive Gaudi architecture...It looks totally amazing, fascinating, and weird too. I remember you telling us about it more than 10 years ago, unfortunately we never made it...on the list though!! X K |
| 11th September 2009 tezzakezza | - From: Valencia Now thats a paella!! It must have been soooo hard not to jump in the beautiful cool aqua pools around the Science complex. Great spot. X K PS hope me commenting all the time isn't too boring...sorry!! |
| 11th September 2009 tezzakezza | - From: Tarifa and Gibraltar A very impressive Rock...as is the ape, and the views. A beach holiday with a difference really!! |

| 4th September 2009 tezzakezza | - From: Kotor and Dubrovnik STUNNING!!! Wow, these are so on my wish list of where to go when we travel again. Beautiful. Sad to think of the bad publicity recently in relation to a certain Aussie traveler, when it seems such a lovely place to visit. Sooooo glad to see you in a photo too Sharyn....Yay!! :-) Keri xx |
| 4th September 2009 tezzakezza | - From: Ostrog Monastery & Budva Wow...i want to go there...i love the Monastery set into the mountain side, and the Budva Old Town Your bus ride at the beginning sounds hair-raising, glad to be hearing about it retrospectively, knowing you survived the trip!!! Sounds so stinking hot too, you poor thing!! X K |
| 4th September 2009 tezzakezza | - From: Sarajevo and Mostar How beautiful is the water, and the Mostar Bridge is amazing. Love the cave Bar too!! XK |
| 4th September 2009 tezzakezza | - From: Sarajevo and Mostar What a fascinating read Sharyn, such interesting history, I've so enjoyed reading this....I feel like I've just learnt heaps about a country and cities and people I know so very little about!! Thank you... |
| 4th September 2009 tezzakezza | - From: Belgrade I can soooo relate to your worst nightmare there Sharyn....and you're not talking about the hotel booking being stuffed up or the mozzies on the crowded boat....the giant watermelon slices, ugh!! I agree!! :-) Keri |
| 3rd September 2009 tezzakezza | - From: Sofia and Bansko Glad you're not worrying about the spiders and snakes...how about the bears though!! Sad story about them. Love the monastery..it looks really beautiful! X K |
| 25th August 2009 Chris W | Nice layout - From: Ronda I am getting ready to travel to Andalucia myself, and I wanted to make an account here on travelblog, but I wanted to make sure people didn't need an account to leave comments so that's what I am testing haha but I love the layout and your pics are great!!! |
| 13th August 2009 tezzakezza | - From: Brasov Great spot...love the slogan and the Hollywood style sign...a place you won't forget in a hurry I'd imagine!! |
| 13th August 2009 tezzakezza | - From: Sibiu I need to find some new words to use...anyway...yet again...beautiful!! I now realize my washing machine is not so bad. Your recount of the van with the wooden bench made me laugh, i can just picture it!! But you got there early, amazing...oh yeah, and alive too!! X K |
| 13th August 2009 tezzakezza | - From: Maramures - Vadu Izei What a fascinating glimpse into such a different world....I had to read it twice. I love the detail you've put in here, and all the things you've learnt about a place and people we hear so little about. I do like the Merry Cemetery....very amusing, i like the story of the inscription which took a while to be put there due to the family not being so happy about it...i'm sure that happens a lot when its a truthful inscription!! X Keri |
| 13th August 2009 tezzakezza | - From: Eger so...have you got used to the folk music yet??!! What a pretty place, i like the sound of all those cellars built into the hills, and the view beyond the town is beautiful too. X Keri |
| 27th July 2009 Ray | - From: Prague The Don looks like The Grim Reaper. |
| 19th July 2009 tezzakezza | Beautiful Prague... - From: Prague We loved Prague!! We were finally able to afford to eat well here, compared to the rest of Europe it was heaps cheaper. Very picturesque...took so many photos of the Castle, the Bridge ,the Astronomical Clock...and the Stare Mestro, the Old Town. How wonderful for you to be able to catch up with a friend and get a tour from a local's perspective and a bit of a glimpse into every day life. I wish we'd made it to the Jewish Museum, it sounds fascinating. x K |
| 19th July 2009 tezzakezza | - From: Cesky Krumlov Divine...I regret we didn't make it here in our travels, we'd heard how stunning it is.....after we'd visited the Czech Republic, by then it was too late!! x K |
| 19th July 2009 tezzakezza | Berlin... - From: Berlin We found Berlin really fascinating when we were there. The painful past of the city is all around you, I felt an almost eerie sense of it at times. It felt like an emotional place too...visiting Checkpoint Charlie was a very sobering experience. When we visited, the wall had only gone down about 10 years earlier, and it was such a feeling of disbelief about the horrible and recent history in a city we were now walking about so freely. We also visited The Brandenburg Gate, The Berliner Dome, Zoo Station...for Terry, and the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial, also a stark reminder of the history of the city. When we left Berlin we breathed a big sigh of relief, I particularly found it quite emotionally disturbing, and it made me so grateful for my freedom and the relatively safe world that we live in Down Under. X Keri |
| 19th July 2009 tezzakezza | - From: Vienna I can hear the music of Strauss playing in my ears as a look at these photos!! Love the people hanging out all over the yellow art...and the 114 year old ferris wheel takes history to a whole new level!! x Keri |
| 19th July 2009 Hedins | Pope - From: Krakow That picture of the Pope looks like something out of Rove! |
| 19th July 2009 Hedins | Simply Beautiful! - From: Cesky Krumlov Wow what an amazing place! |
| 19th July 2009 Hedins | Hi from Di - From: Vienna It sounds like you're sampling some wonderful food! |
| 19th July 2009 Hedins | Hi from Di - From: Berlin How brave are you getting your hair cut , coloured and blow dried! |
| 2nd July 2009 tezzakezza | - From: Warsaw What a sad history and yet such a beautiful place. |
| 2nd July 2009 tezzakezza | feel the serenity... - From: Aukstaitija National Park It sounds like you had such a lovely time here, getting to enjoy some serenity, home cooked meals, surrounded by nature, and peace. A nice chance to draw a breath and enjoy some space it seems. I like the look of favorite place No2 with the old mill there. Row boat adventures sounded fun too!! x Keri |
| 17th June 2009 tezzakezza | The BEACH!! - From: Curonian Spit Wow, its the Baltic Sea. What a great spot...so very different to the beach at Mooloolaba!! Again, such interesting history, you must feel like you are learning so much. Cute little fisher huts...would make a unique B&B set up. |
| 17th June 2009 tezzakezza | so european....so beautiful! - From: Tallin Love this place!! Its beautiful. Reminds me so much of places we saw in our travels, full of character and history. I love the pretty colors of some of the buildings too. And you can see some little leaves starting to appear on the trees. Ahh, so jealous right now!! X Keri |
| 17th June 2009 tezzakezza | helsinki - From: Helsinki We also enjoyed our time in Helsinki a lot... I've found some of my diary entries from our visit there. And i quote" We found some local markets at the waterfront harbor and spent some time looking at the local food and crafts...Huge mega woks with lots of kippers, herring and other fish. Hats and gloves trimmed with mink and reindeer fur and skin. Lots of leather products made from reindeer and elk. Terry bought a coin purse made from reindeer leather. The White Cathedral was a magnificent building, lots of people sitting on the steps leading up to it(It was mid summer). In the main square the Helsinki Festival was on, with bands playing, and about 15 restaurants set up. We tried reindeer crepes and sampled the local beer. it was all very expensive!! Or were we just poor!! We also visited the orthodox church, with lots of icons, mosaics and exquisite pictures in gold. We then waited till 10pm that night when the local car wash was half price after 10pm and I could ring Mum, it was 5am for her. We camped that night in the local city campsite, where it rained heavily all night!!" So there you go Sharyn, our Helsinki adventure...just quite a few years ago though, its probably changed a lot since then!! A unique place, thats for sure. Sorry for boring you with those details!! X Keri x |
| 13th June 2009 Hedins | Hi from Di - From: Curonian Spit I've caught up on reading all of your blogs, what an amazing time your having. The pictures are wonderful and we're going to have one hell of a slide show when you get home !! Have you a favourite place yet? Have you sampled a favourite food? I loved Mongolia and the Ger Camp, what a beautiful country side. All is well here in sleepy old Ferntree Gully, take care and stay safe. From Di xx |
| 10th June 2009 only i exist | amazing! - From: Ger Camp and Ulaan Baatar i love mongolia. though ive never been there. it just seems so exotic and thats what i love about mongolia. thank you so much for sharing! |
| 27th May 2009 tezzakezza | Love the night lights!! - From: Moscow What a beautiful place all lit up at night, especially The Red Square, St Basils and the Gum Dept Store, and with the snow too, looks very magical. Different during the day, more grey and formidable, although still beautiful. What an interesting visit, you must be learning so much history. The blue sky and white walls are nice, with the gold roofs!!The Mausoleum must have been fascinating too. |
| 22nd April 2009 tanglefish | Great to hear from you - From: Chengdu Hi Lovice. It's good to hear from you (just reading your comment). The pandas are very cute. Unfortunately I've sent the recipe book home! I'm in Moscow now (getting very close to your part of the world) In fact I thought I saw you the other day (must be your twin!). Hope all is well. Talk to you soon. Love Sharyn |
| 5th April 2009 Lovice | Poor Manuel - From: Chengdu Hi Shaz, I finaly got around to checking out your blog. You're more than welcome to test out your newly acquired cooking skills on your stopover in the Netherlands. That ginger tea sounds great and those panda's are sooo cute. I've made a mental note to show them to the kids tomorrow. It looks and sounds like you're having a great time. I look forward to reading more of your travels. Lovice |
| 2nd April 2009 TezzaKezza | Love the Pandas... - From: Chengdu How cute is the video. I also love the sound of people chattering away in Chinese, and the little girl's voice. Can't wait for you to try some cooking school recipes out on us...minus the cows stomach please. You are very brave for trying that.!!I was laughing out loud again reading the Manuel story, and your humorous recounting of some of the other stories, including the street version of your candle's song, and an option of getting your ears cleaned at the People's Park!! The local cultural performance sounded fascinating, and funny again with the story of the spicy, ear pulling girls. I know what I'm going to go and try now. x Keri |
| 2nd April 2009 TezzaKezza | you've made me laugh!! - From: Yangshuo Wow, great reading Sharyn, such beautiful, descriptive writing!! I've been giggling away at the stories about the light show adventure, Bill Clinton's helpful comments that were taken so literally by the locals,and at the musical candle that was still playing the next morning!! All very funny. The Karsts look so very stunning, and so much more so in real life I'd imagine, and Moon Hill is spectacular too. Can't wait for the next read. x Keri |
