A Land Down Under

Saturday, 9 May 2009 | Views [629]

At the airport in Perth, waiting for my connection to Sydney for my flight out to L.A., I took some time to reflect on Australia. After spending almost 4 weeks in “the land down under”, with only 3 days where the sun didn’t shine on a bright ... Read more >

Fremantle and Rottnest Island

Tuesday, 5 May 2009 | Views [411]

I spent my last 2 days in Australia in Fremantle & Rottnest Island, 20 km south of Perth, but miles away in personality! Fremantle is a picturesque little town full of historic buildings and a hub of the arts & music scene. Moreover, ... Read more >

Four leisurely days in and around Leschenault

Monday, 4 May 2009 | Views [573]

On my first day at Gemma & Rob’s “Leschenault resort”, I decided to have a lie-in and make this a lazy day. That does not mean that I didn’t do anything! I took the opportunity to sort out some admin stuff and reply to some e-mails, upload ... Read more >


Perth

Sunday, 3 May 2009 | Views [457]

From Cairns, I took a direct Jetstar flight across the Australian continent, to Perth on the western coast of Australia. I had a very nice moment on the plane waiting to taxi out to the runway in Cairns, one of those moments that gets stuck in your ... Read more >

Finding Nemo...in Cairns

Wednesday, 29 Apr 2009 | Views [543]

From Airlie Beach, I took the overnight Greyhound bus to Cairns. This particular Greyhound service proved to be more of an experience than I had expected. The driver stepped out, wearing an Akubra hat (a traditional Crocodile Dundee-type Australian ... Read more >


Hamilton Island

Wednesday, 29 Apr 2009 | Views [319]

If my birthday present to myself was a sailing trip in the whitsundays, then I guess Mike's birthday treat to himself was a stay at Hamilton Island resort :-) Hamilton Island is the biggest of the Whitsunday Islands, with an airport, a marina (the ... Read more >

Sailing the Whitsundays

Sunday, 26 Apr 2009 | Views [867]

From Sydney, we flew up to Hamilton Island, which belongs to the group of the topical Whitsunday Islands. I have been particularly excited about this part of the OZ trip, because the Whitsundays are not only extremely gorgeous, but bordering the famous ... Read more >


3 Luxembourgers in Sydney

Monday, 20 Apr 2009 | Views [585]

We spent 4 nights, 3 days in Sydney and it was nice to unpack the whole backpack for once and make a mess of the neat and tidy hotel room floor...:-). I was somehow not really inspired to write something inspiring while there, and am still a little in ... Read more >


Melbourne, and onwards towards Sydney

Thursday, 16 Apr 2009 | Views [474]

After the return from the remote island, we spent the last day in Melbourne to explore the city and the St Kilda suburb. On Sunday night, John & Yas took us to a St Kilda institution, the "Espy", which hosts live music almost every night ... Read more >

Escape to an Island

Tuesday, 14 Apr 2009 | Views [642] | Comments [1]

I arrived in Melbourne, totally jetlagged at 5 AM on Good Friday morning and caught a taxi to the St Kilda suburb, where our hosts, John & Yas, live. Mike had arrived in Melbourne two days earlier and opened the door with a hangover, as he'd been ... Read more >
