Croatia!!! Finally here. Ever since I heard about this place I had wanted to visit. What luck, I though, when my two room mates from Paris shared that same enthusiasm! My interest in Croatia was first aroused when I went for dinner at a little restaurant in Macedon, a little country town west of Melbourne. Justine and Peter (the owners) and now good friends, own a few properties within the town of Trogir, a 30 minute bus ride from Split. With the promise of a g...

Some say that this city is dirty and smelly. I have to respectfully disagree. Venice was one of the most beautiful cities I've been to (Melbourne is still number one!). I had a tough time with the title for this entry, in a way Venice is vibrant. It's bustling with life, whether it's tourists, the locals in their boats, even the cats and pigeons!

It's a family house, dogs, cats and the occasional mouse all roam the corridors. T...

Vino in Vienna! As you have probably deduced from the title, this entry relates to a day of cycling and drinking in one of Vienna's most famous wine regions. The Wachau region is famous for its white wines and desert wines, red wine isn't that popular unfortunately. Regardless of that, Courtney, Brennin and myself paid the 50€ for the day guided tour/wine tasting. Starting relatively early we met the guide at our hostel in Vienna then set off to the train st...
