We drove up for a lovely sunny (but windy) day in Palm Beach. There was one seafood lunch, a mini-hike and a parking ticket. It took only a few minutes at the top and a whole lot of photos to look back on later to realise how I should really really do this more often. ...

Our trip to Hawaii started in Oahu, where we had only had 4 days to cram as much as we could in. As always, when your travelling style is summed up as "too much to see, too little time" (I prefer the word ambitious really...), you will invariable miss out on stuff but I was pretty happy with the combo of snorkelling, beach-going, shopping and eating that was had! ...

One busy weekend morning that R was in town, after visiting the World Press Photo exhibition we had a couple of hours to kill and were desperate for reasonably good food but the places I wanted to go to were booked out. We stumbled on this place after walking down the road from the State Library and it was good! Well duh otherwise I wouldn't be writing about it... ...

Ah, Vivid Sydney. The yearly light festival where the crowds continue growing and I seem to find myself saying "I think last year's was better". This year, half of it was true- the event has reached insane proportions with throngs of people, dedicated transport and road diversions, information booths every 50m, you name it. That aside, I thought the opera house sails and building projections were the best I've seen yet! ...

You know when you get food envy at a restaurant while eyeing what everyone else ordered? That pretty much sums up eating at Left of Field. I'd read about this new cafe opening up near my parents neighbourhood, in Rhodes and after reading the menu I insisted we had to go.

I'm really becoming a fan of the weekend getaway. A few weeks ago, I flew to Byron Bay for a short trip with R. Since he is doing a term in Lismore (only half an hour away from Byron) we thought it would be a nice break to take together. 2 days is enough to get a taste of some beaches, luxurious relaxation and great food! ...

Sometimes it's nice to really celebrate life's important moments. Year after year, we find ourselves just quietly observing the milestones; birthdays (maybe we just don't want to admit we are slowly getting older though), major exams passed, work promotions, personal goals achieved, starting new jobs...it goes on. Don't you ever wish you had some nice memories of them to look back on? So as much as KT insisted it was "not a big deal" since she has been out of uni for some time, it was only proper that we celebrated her official graduation properly! ...

A few days ago I invited my girlfriends to stay with me in Newcastle for a slightly decadent wine and food fueled weekend in Hunter Valley. It was one of those weekends that you really didn't want to end... ...

Continued on from THIS post!  | Sikh man with gigantic turban | | Tourist shot; spot the dorky money pouch? | So we woke up the next morning after this and decided to go to Wenger's  (a super popular Western bakery) at Connaught place to buy some pastries, macaroons and other fun stuff to snack on during the day. We planned to go to Humayun's tomb (a popular tourist destination) before we were to go on a walking tour of Old Delhi. After we got to Humayun's tomb (pictures above and below) we took a quick "break" and scoffed down...
