Airlie Beach: Exploring the Whitsunday Islands

As my Australia trip was approaching, I messaged my friends here to get recommendations on whether or not to go to the Great Barrier Reef. I also posted in my favorite Facebook group: Girls Love Travel. The consensus was yes, definitely go. I knew deep down that would be the answer but I needed a final nudge to book flights and accommodation because it is a pricey journey when booked last minute.

I’m currently writing this post on a beautiful back patio overlooking the Port of Airlie to my left with hillsides covered in tropical vegetation all around. There are gently chirping birds and then terribly annoying cockatoos. I hear, see and feel the gentle ocean breeze. I wish I had a guidebook to tell me about all the trees and bushes I see but I am content simply knowing they are beautiful.

There is also a bottle of Australian beer open next to me so that helps it all, too.

Melbourne Food: Round One

So, Melbourne is full of food. Not sure if you caught onto that yet from my previous posts. I’ve now decided to write about all the food I’ve eaten so far in more detail. However, I have eaten so much and consumed so much coffee that it will be in installments. Probably three or four or five of them. It will be best not to read this is if you are hungry!

Melbourne: Initial Reactions

I’ve now spent 72 hours in Melbourne (it is pronounced Mel-bin and not Mel-born) and I love it. It is unlike any city I’ve ever experienced. Many aspects of it remind me of Europe but it is so unique as well that I cannot even offer another city as comparison!
