New Zealand

I haven’t been here for a while and so many things have happened on a way. I have no idea if I’ll be able to recollect everything, but well, I am writing diaries, so it should help. The last time we talked I had coffee in Sydney. Since then I’ve visited few places. The first one was New Zealand – not the trip of my life. It has started with me loosing my photography equipment, let’s not talk about it, but then something super cool had happened that saved it all. It turned out that Grebers will have a new member in their small family. Yey! My daughter will go on a nice trip to Sydney when she turns 18 or maybe 21 and then to New Zealand where she’s been discovered. Maybe if she’ll be a good girl we’ll also send her to Japan, where her mommy kept eating pastas and burgers for a month.

Cockatoo Island

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.
