I was very fortunate last week to be able to be in Mumbai, India for two whole days. It had been over three years since my last visit here and this time I was armed with my camera ready to pounce on the city. I tried to make the most of my short visit and [...]
Let me tell you about one of the most luxurious experiences I had the other week. I was invited to spend a few nights at the Grand Hotel located in my birth city of Melbourne. And what two glorious days I had. It was the perfect getaway after my recent incidents and I was looking [...]
Hi everyone! Just wanted to let you know I’m back after suffering a bout of flu/sinusitis the last few weeks. Couldn’t swallow, sleep and most importantly eat! I’ve had enough of chicken soups for the time being. So I want to get back into blogging today with a post about that great German beer festival [...]
Recently, I had the pleasure of making my way to London for a quick weekend with work. I’ve been to the “Old Dart” on numerous occasions but had never had the opportunity to venture into these famous weekend markets. Located in the Notting Hill district, they run from south to north covering most of this [...]
Mousaka in all its glory
So after a cultural day of sightseeing and analysing ancient Greek lifestyles, I set off to find a place to eat. Nafplio, was well equipped for this with many restaurants on offer. I was so looking forward to eat a mini feast and indulge in a lot of “traditional” [...]
Summer colours
Continuing in my (delayed…sorry!) Greece series of recent adventures, I made my way to the port city of Nafplio. What a delightful change from the hustle and bustle of Athens. It was October and the weather was hovering around the mid 20’s mark. It was so “summery” and I could just [...]
The eerie setting of The Acropolis…look at those clouds!
It has been used as a temple, a fortress, a citadel and a place to house virgins. It currently lends itself as one of the new 7 ancient wonders of the world and has thousands of tourists adorning its once sacred grounds. Welcome to The [...]
The city of Athens…viewed from one side of the Acropolis
Finally after nearly four weeks of holidays I have returned back to Australia. And I’m tired, both physically and emotionally. I had returned back to my parents’ homeland after an absence of nearly 30 years. I took about one thousand photos and I [...]
The Acropolis…a sight to behold
Why hello! Its been a while. Yours truly has been holidaying in Greece and lapping up every minute of it. I’ve mainly been visiting friends and relatives in the Peloponnese and checking out a lot of ancient ruins. There are many food adventures to re tell and [...]
Smiling faces everywhere
All this travelling has left me no time to post. I’m behind about 6 entries but I’ll get there. I recently had 12 hours transisting in Narita which is Tokyo’s airport hub. Not much time to venture into Tokyo itself (I was so bloody tired!) but enough time to take [...]
