Cockatoo Island

Cockatoo-Island-1

While you wonder around CBD in Sydney, it’s hard to imagine, that just few minutes away by ferry you can be on an island, that’s almost uninhabited. I am talking about Cockatoo Island, where you can get to by ferry from Circular Quay. This place is almost like San Francisco’s Alcatraz and has a rich history itself. It used to be a prison, then they built ships there, and troubled children found home there as well. Nowadays it’s a place with awesome exhibitions from time to time. It’s worth visiting if you like to hang around old hangars and buildings. I do, and I spent a whole day over there. Sunset from Island’s perspective was beautiful.

Coffee love

J64A1301

I have a special relationship with coffee. It’s all started years ago when I moved to Sydney. I used to drink an ugly liquid only called coffee but in Australia I’ve tried my first flat white. It was delicious and had this lovely pattern on top. I fell in love with it and with years this love went much further.

Whenever I travel somewhere for longer, I try to find a good coffee place. I had like 12 coffees in Sydney already and it’s not even been a week since I am here (I’m seriously trying not to confuse coffee with water). But there is one place where I buy my coffee each morning and I am enjoying it like crazy. The day will come when barista remembers my name and then it will be a pure happiness. Cheers!

As someone who loves to travel and appreciates both landscapes and a good cup of coffee, it can be a delightful experience to shop for gifts for kids when exploring different countries. One fantastic option is purchasing kids clothes online at this site, as it allows for easy browsing, unique styles from various cultures, and the convenience of having the items delivered directly to your doorstep. It’s a great way to bring back something special for your children while immersing yourself in the joys of traveling and discovering new places.

Sunrise, coffee and Bondi

Living next to a beach was always in my head. What can be better than grabbing a coffee and drinking it on a beach while looking on a sunrise Picture perfect. And now this little dream of mine came true, as for the next month this will be my reality.

My first trip on a beach at 6 am was full of strange thoughts like if it’s safe to go by myself with a camera. I passed few runners, bought a cup of flat white on a way, had a small chat with barista about advantages of jet lag and then I was shocked. Can you imagine that at 6 am Bondi was full of people?! They were running, exercising, playing, surfing, swimming, doing yoga or just sitting like I did. And I am not talking about youngsters. There was a man around 60 years old running while holding a heavy ball over his hear (impressive). I was sitting on a sand and laughing at loud, as I felt so happy and positive that I couldn’t hold it in myself anymore. Bondi at 6 am rocks!

On my way back a boy with a surf bord asked me for time. It was 7:10 am and he wasn’t sure if it’s ok for him to jump back to water, as most probably he had school later on. I want my children to have this kind of dilemmas. Bondi is known for being the most popular beach in Sydney, but in the early morning, before a sunrise, this is local’s spot.
