Oceania » Australia » New South Wales » Sydney » Manly February 12th 2008

Hey hey from Manly in Sydney.... Manly is one of the most beautiful part of Sydney. This is where we are staying in our friend's house. Our oryginal plan was to stay in Cairns, fly to Brisbaine and to Fiji from there. Instead as I said before in my other blog entry, we came back to Sydney from Cairns. I love to go with the flow and be flexible with our plans as there is always room for surprises! As I realised later there were few reasons we had to come back to Sydney. One of it was to meet a couple: Ewa and Richard. They are a couple for few months and it was amazing to watch them, and feel how happy they are. Richard become for me this last drop of hope, where for ... read more

Here we are.... Surprise, surprise, surprise.. I am again in Sydney!! Is was surprise even for me. Since we returned our car, and since Peter came back to London we were pretty bored. We've seen most of Cairns and the area around and there was nothing more to see apart of snorekling in the Great Barrier Reef but the weather wasn't great either. We received email from our friends in Sydney and they invited us again. Our friend insisted so much and she said that there are even pickles in the fridge for us so we couldn't resist. Snorekling or diving in the Great Barrier Reef it is something that everyone want to do but we have still week in Fiji so we decided to do it there. I hope the weather will improve. But I ... read more

Oceania » Australia » Queensland » Cairns » Inn The Tropics January 25th 2008

We are already in Cairns. The first picture was taken in Rockhampton, the best place to eat a steak. It was served raw on the stone heated to 400 C. and it was up to the individual how you cook it. The trick was to cut one piece at the time when you felt it is ready for meat to not to loose moisture. The meat was seasoned only with salt and it tasted the best ever. Pierwsze zdjecie bylo zrobione w Rockhampton, w najlepszym miejscu gdzie mozesz zjesc steka. Surowy stek podany jest na wulkanicznym kamieniu rozgrzanym do 400 stopni. Jest to bardzo ciekawy sposob gdyz czas smazenia jest uzalezniony od Twojego gustu. Trikiem bylo ucinanie jedynie tego kawalka, ktory wlasnie zamierzales zjesc by mieso nie tracilo wilgotnosci. Doprawione bylo jedynie sola i pieprzem a ... read more

Oceania » Australia » Queensland » Whitsundays January 13th 2008

We are already in Cairns. Sorry for delay in updating but there were no good computers around to download pictures.. One of the best way to travel in Australia is by campervan. We have Toyota Hiacynt and it is suitable for max 3 people. It is equiped with everything we need (sleeping area, kitchen and fridge, kitchen equipment, even microwave) This way you can plan your trip and see whatever you want. You are your own boss and you are not dependent from other passangers. There are some inconveniences as well, like: The person, who travels on the back has often bumpy ride, or if someone is as big as my brother and moves around like an elephant in the porcelaine shop, or if there is hot and humid in the caravan we feel like grilled ... read more

Oceania » Australia » New South Wales » Sydney » Manly January 1st 2008

We are currently in Sydney... But this is a story about our trip via Great Ocean Road. We flew to Melbourne and spent there two days, discovering garden city. My friend from Poland who lives in Sydney joined us on the second day. We stayed in the backpackers place which we called Hilton. We had great laugh as it was a total opposite to it. Then in the evening Ilona's friend (priest from Adelaide)joined us to do Great Ocean Road. It is a incredable breathtaking path from Torquay to Warrnabool. It is one of the world's most spectacular coastal drives. It was very difficult to find a place to sleep on the way as it is very busy time of the year. Finally at around one o'clock in the morning after joining a local pub party ... read more

Asia » Singapore » Bugis Village December 25th 2007

Hey Hey everyone, Just let you know I am ok, in few hours flying out from Singapore. Last week in Thailand was great although I was a little sick...I had dizziness and stomach upseting caused by antibiotics for malaria. So I stopped taking them and now I feel great! Phukett is a holiday place to be with family. We didn't choose Patong to stay in Phukett as it is very busy place and we wanted to chill out a little. What shall I say about Phukett? Beach, hotels, cheap food and great shopping. That is really it..I bought few 99% original ;-)) things, you have to bargain as well, but it is easier than in India.. Now we are in Singapore. Wow, this is really beautiful, modern place. We had a great trip to Singapore Zoo ... read more

Asia » Thailand » Central Thailand » Bangkok December 15th 2007

I am already in Bangkok but this is just quick entry and pictures from Agra (Taj Mahal). This is a beautiful monumet which was built by some guy who loved his wife so much, and when she died he decided to built it in her memory. City agra is 4 hours drive in the South if Delhi. There is nothing interesting in Agra apart of Taj Mahal. Delhi dissapointed me so much so maybe that's why I sterted to feel very weak. City Delhi is quite dirty, overpopulated, noisy and all this things toghether made us feel weak. I don't recommend anyone to stay longer in Delhi than you need for Taj Mahal or flight transfer.. Juz jestem w Bangkoku ale szybko napisze jeszcze i wkleje zdjecia z Taj Mahal w Indiach. Taj Mahal to piekny ... read more
