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!

Travel Sydney Australia

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!

London

London

I have travelled to London a few times, mostly for diner.  Gordon Ramsay is one of my favorite restaurants, but only in London, located at 68 Royal Hospital Road, London SW3 4HP, United Kingdom.  For some reason, when I tried to dine at Gordon Ramsay in West Hollywood, California it was not just the same, not the service, nor the food.  The mushroom soup and the fine wine is the way to go!  I remember the days when I used to fly up there just for  weekend to see a show and to dine.  It was only nine hours from Los Angeles to London.  Flying overnight was always preferred.  You wake up and a fresh cup off coffee is waiting for you to start the exciting day!

There are may things to do besides fine dining, like the coffee, the deserts and the passion martini!  To my great surprise, the passion martinis were made with fresh passion fruits!   Normally I fly there in the spring, so I can enjoy the blooming trees and flowers.  I love photography, for I am true artist at heart.  Thus, no meter where I go, I shoot, shoot, shoot… When I arrive home fem the trip, I have at least 1000 pictures. Below is some of my collections.

Sadly it is, but no matter how hard I try, I cannot pack too many things in one weekend trip.  On Monday, I always had to fly to Los Angeles to attend to the responsibilities.  And here goes another long air plain ride..

Ford’s Garage Sports Bar

Ford’s Garage Sports Bar

I always have a great lunch: French Onion Soup and Ice Cold Beer on a Hot Summer Day.

Ford’s Garage Sports Bar in Downtown Fort Myers is a great and convenient place to have food, lunch, dinner or just a drink.  What can be better then a nice menu of ice cold beer during hot Florida seasons?  180+ craft beers.  How many places can beat that? The place is clean with  a fast service.  There is always a place to sit down at the bar!  This place is a must visit place.  It is about less then two miles from Oceanic Blue Retreats house.  It can be a walking distance for those who love to walk, but for most probably a car would be a better way to downtown.  There is always a plenty of free or in expensive parking around.  Here is downtown Fort Myers…

The bathrooms at the place are great design wise.  It is always fun times trying to figure out how are the sinks work after a few beers.  It is a definitely a conversation ice breaker!

Here is the shot!

The theme is the legacy of Henry Ford, who wintered with Thomas Edison in Ft. Myers. The burgers are very good and are named after prominent people from the area.   I love food, I love those excellent burgers that they serve! The burgers are huge!   Ford’s Garage Sports Bar is a very unique place.  I love the atmosphere and decor of the Ford’s Garage in downtown Fort Myers. Our service was very good; the waitress was attentive but not intrusive.  Some times, I order lobster mac and cheese that is delicious.   On occasion I bring my friends there.  My dining companions were similarly pleased with their meals.

See you there,
