So here were are ... our first time Down Under We were so excited for this trip that we actually thought that the 26h travel time was very nice and quick. Maybe it was the Qantas airlines that made it so pleasurable or maybe we just already thought of all those things planned for us to do over there ;-) We had an overnight flight to Singapore that went in no time and then 4h to kill at the airport ,which to be honest, with all the shopping, feet massage machines, TV and game rooms, restaurants and botanical gardens were not even enough... We got to Brisbane early in the morning and it was only 15C.... I thought it must be the winter time and for sure it will get better during the day... in ... read more

Colombo -> Negombo -> Anuradhapura ->Dambulla ->Polonaruwa -> Sigiriya -> Kandy ->Pinnawala -> Nuwara Eliya ->Ella-> Galle -> Unawatuna Beach -> Hikkaduwa Beach -> Colombo There is only one word I have for Sri Lanka - astonishing.....we did not expect it at all to so fall in love with this place as we were more excited about our 'after trip' visit to India.

We crossed to Agaba by speed boat which was very pleasurable ride if not the fact that the captain and the crew were trying to smuggle some money to Jordan.... After 5 min of taking off another boat approached us and throw a pile of money on board...Why would you do that when each of the shores is so close and police patrols observe everything at all times??? So immediately after Police patrol gave signs to ... read more

from the masterpiece of Islamic architecture, through souks and eating sheep brain, 5h camel ride and feeding a desert puppy, to the well deserved beach time Since India always wanted to go to Morocco as it supposed to be similar in a way....the way people behave, the way streets look like etc At least that is what friends told us....relatively close to UK, relatively cheap flights and stay...we said why not lets see.... the major downside of working full time is your holiday allowance and the fact that you cannot just go for long....hence the 10 days we could spare were planned very intensively to see whatever we could in this short time;-) So we visited 5 different places: Casablanca - where we flew just to see The Mosque of King Hessian II, Marrakech - for ... read more
