Travel Sydney Australia

Travel Sydney Australia

Often I get asked what is my favorite place to visit. Australia! Travel Sydney Australia, of cause! I have traveled back and forth cross country a few times. At ones I have considered to make my home base and I may still do it. According the seances, Australia is the hap pies country in the entire world. It is similar to what America used to be, the land of opportunities, where anyone can come, get a great job, get a great house and enjoy the living, not working two or three jobs at low paying wage, fearing of loosing it… Yes, people is Australia are very happy and there is a smile of every face. The country is beautiful when you think of nature and when yo think of people. The nature is still untouched in many areas and in the wild state. The people are tall, not fat (like in some other countries) and fit, mostly of light completion. man have nice broad shoulders and white smiles. Often in the metro station, I was thinking that I am actually inside of the model cover magazine when looked at the crowd getting out of the train….beautiful culture!

I do not even know where to start describing my stay in Sydney. For the American audience, I would like to mention that it is not the capital of Australia. I have mentioned the train transportation, but my preference was always a fairy to get around where I needed to be.

Here is me on the fairy, going near the Sydney opera house

On ocasión, I would enjoy the performance there and then have a nice picnic at the park, right next to it. The parks of Australia were amazing. The huge Australian white cocktail parrot, were flying around 24/7. Oh, boy, are they loud?! What a social bird. I would say too social! A lot of the morning, I just wanted to sleep!

Wine and Food! I am a foodie! I am sea food connoisseur. Every of my travels to Australia are always flu of fish and Australian Shiraz. Australia is well known for its fines wine or at least well known to the wine connoisseur that I am! On occasion, I would settle for the New Zealand one, which is still pretty good.

Here a whole fish lightly fried with very little oil, still having a savory juice inside. Yammy… Yeap, that is what I call a good living… and what dinner without a fine desert? I am addicted to chocolate. The best quality I found in Madrid, Spain and Sydney, Australia. I would always pick a different place to have my desert. I always found it festinating that the same food doe snot taste the same of different continents, like to example when I was experiencing the difference with Gordon Ramsey restaurant in London and West Hollywood. The restaurant in London is excelled and one in West Hollywood was just OK. So back to the chocolate! Here is me, enjoying Max Brenner chocolates. 63 Victoria St is the address of heaven!

I am about to “inhale this slice of luxury”

I would say travel Sydney Australia!

Private Island Useppa

January 4, 2015/in TRAVEL /by Ella

I love traveling and do it very time I get an opportunity. This weekend, my destination was Private Island Useppa.

Private Island Useppa is one mile long and a third of a mile wide. Yet it manages to host hundreds of exquisite creatures and inimitable landscape. I was walking down the pass way surrounded by the archways of banyan trees, and many beautiful and exotic flowers and other tropical vegetation, The truly tropical island, the smell, the colors, the sooting sound of the waters surrounding the land…all was perfect. It reminded me one of my childhood dreams when I was dreaming to find myself on the deserted island full of lash of tropics and here I was!

The only way you can get to this private island of Useppa is only by the boat or a ferry. From day one, Useppa has been the premier private home port and fabulous destination for the cruising yachtsman on the west coast of Florida.

The island is very small however there is so much to do!

Do you like to fish? If this is what yo unlike to do you will find some of the world’s finest tarpon, snook, and redfish angling, which is easily accessible by boat and yacht or fishing kayaks which we have for rent at Joseffa’s store. Fishing charters are also available near private island Useppa.

Do you like to go Kayaking? Great! During your stay on the island you will have the opportunity to visit the islands and beaches by kayaking!

Maybe you feel like Croquet or Tennis? The beautiful Florida sunshine and breeze makes for an ideal venue for those activities.

Cayo Costa State Park is only a boat ride away from Useppa Island. Taking a day trip to the park is a fun way to explore more of this hidden oasis. The 2,426 acre park has nine miles of pristine beach and is known as a Gulf Cost paradise. Yet the island of Useppa is not too bad itself. The surrounding beauty truly impressed me. The huge trees were on left and right.

I think this was one of my favorite times on the island. I was mesmerized by the massive size and stable grounding on a such small island. Those trees stood strong during the hurricanes!

And Here is me on the tree! My friend Ryan took this picture for me. My passion is photography. I took tons of more pictures, which can be viewed on my Instagram: http://instagram.com/oceanicblueretreats/

Poland

December 14, 2014/in TRAVEL /by Ella

Poland is above all the charm of a country faithful to its traditions: religious fervor is one of the most important aspects of a stay in Warsaw or Krakow.

But that’s not all: the local cuisine, the colorful houses of the cities center and varied architecture in Poland still deserve at least a week.

Slavic tradition is still very present in Poland. Dance, music and architecture prove every day that two world wars and 40 years of Soviet presence and influence have not removed their culture to the Poles. I was not impressed with Poland. The life there was slow, not innovative.

I did like the beautiful fields of poppy flowers.

It is for this atmosphere that is just in Poland, but also for its lush forests, mountains and clear lakes.

Entered the Polish territory on presentation of a passport or a national card (for citizens of the European Union).

Airports
Airports in Warsaw and Krakow
Warsaw and Krakow are served by regular flights from Paris.

Airport Warsaw Frederic Chopin: To get to the city center, take the bus 175 direction “dworzec Gdanski” (30 minutes).

General
The bus is probably the easiest way to travel in Poland many lines joining the main tourist attractions of the country from the big cities. This is also an opportunity, why not, to become acquainted with the Poles.

Dry Tortugas Travel

December 13, 2014/in TRAVEL /by Ella

Dry Tortugas is a tranquil retreat of South West Florida

and off we go to Dry Turtugas Summers are very good for going into the seas. Dry Tortugas is located in the Gulf of Mexico and about 70 miles south from Key West. The place is pretty private, since the only way you can get there is by the a good size boat. It illuminates all the noise and dirt that tourist normally generate. Going to Dry Tortugas over the summers was a nice treat. Coming out from the pollution and smog of the Los Angeles, I sure appreciated it even more. A such clean air, inhale – exhale… Life is beautiful

We did not fish near Dry Tortugas, but got some fish on a way there. Nothing can be more tasty then to have a BBQ, right on the boat and eat fresh fish and lobsters, chasing it with ice cold beer.

The currents are very strong in those waters and the boats are constantly are getting of their parking places, but we did not crush. The sleeping at night there under millions of the stars was one of the best experiences in my life. The ocean breeze was still warm and felt great on the skin.

Swimming and snorkeling is highly encouraged. Even the barracudas are chilled, so are the people in the water. I saw this nice barracuda and screamed out loud that there was one, but not one single person got out of the water. Neither did I. We did not have barracuda for diner, but this is what we had:

Yes, life is beautiful. After driving from Los Angeles for 40 hours and stopping only once to sleep, going to Dry Tortugas to rest and heal was a great idea. I have visited Dry Tortugas four times over the summer and each time is was a uniques experience. It is hard to describe in the words all the beauty of that place. It shall be a must visit place for all the travelers that are going to Key West.
