Unfortunately when you're travelling, plans don't always work out and the weather you were hoping for doesn't always happen - especially when you're in Far North Queensland! The Whitsundays generally provides us with unlimited days of sunshine, hot weather, beautiful blue skies and a perfect backdrop for your overnight sailing trip, but unfortunately weather is unpredictable and we do get the odd day of rain - especially in our scheduled wet season between November and March.
Wellington has such a great and diverse range of bars to cater for everyone's needs! You can choose from karaoke bars, cocktail bars, craft bars and of course heaps of Irish bars where all the craic is! Here are my personal Top 5 bars in Wellington and ones that I think you should definitely check out when you visit New Zealands capital city.
For those of you travelling to the Whitsundays, you are probably already aware of the hundreds of thousands (ok, a slight exaggeration) of trips available. They range from cheap day trips, to luxurious multi-night trips. Last week, we decided to test one of the better known day trips - the Derwent Hunter. Derwent Hunter is a beautiful old tallship built in 1946 and still holds her old charm to this day, taking 39 people a day out to the Whitsunday Islands.
Most people are in two minds about visiting a zoo and often have the attitude of “once you've seen one, you've seen them all'... some say that this is very WRONG! And that's certainly the case with Wellington Zoo, because Wellington Zoo is home to Mini Asia which is a $2m exhibition, showing the sun bears with Lions and tigers and bears!
When travelling to another country it's quite common to miss having things around you that you're used to, especially your favourite food and treats! It can be a real challenge to find things that can adequately replace your favourites from home. Luckily, for Dutch people staying in Sydney, there is a perfect solution for your problems! The Dutch Shop.
Sydney is such a great place to be outdoors, it has great weather and so many open spaces that it often makes you feel like you are miles away from a city. There is no better way to experience Sydney’s outdoors and the Australian lifestyle than with a barbecue by the water in one of Sydney’s parks. Get a couple of friends or fellow travelers, visit the local butcher and the supermarket to get your bbq food of choice, some bread and butter and get your adventure started!
It's getting colder and the sun is not shining every day... winter is on its way. Of course this doesn't mean that you have to sit inside all day. There are plenty of things to do in Melbourne at all times of the year. When it's a bit colder why not try some, or all, of the activities mentioned below.
If you are looking for something challenging to do, why not try your hand at caving in an underground cave with no light except for the light coming from the helmet on your head! Myself and a few friends were on the Kiwi Experience bus and our second stop was Waitomo, where the famous Waitomo Glowworm Caves are located. We headed to The Legendary Black Water Rafting Co. to choose our caving tour.
