    Veiled in Mist

    23 czerwca, Australia ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C

    It’s been a couple of rainy days here.
    Not exactly ideal, but it did offer the perfect opportunity to capture some cool photos!

    Since Celeste and Ben’s beautiful home is perched on a hill, it’s often surrounded by low-hanging clouds that gently drift through the garden, cloaking everything in thick, billowing mist.

    I’ll admit—I had a lot of fun taking moody, atmospheric shots—especially of cobwebs.

    It was honestly hard to decide which ones to post here because—in all modesty—they’re all so cool! (Yep, there are more.)
    (Though I was kind of glad not to meet the residents of those webs…) 😄     Czytaj więcej

    Dreamworld

    22 czerwca, Australia ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C

    What an awesome day filled with childlike fun! Though, for safety reasons, no camera/action cam this time. 😕
    I got to join Ben, Celeste, and their youthful entourage on a trip to Dreamworld—a theme park between Brisbane and the Gold Coast. Dreamworld isn’t just a haven for rollercoaster enthusiasts; it’s also a paradise for animal lovers.

    There’s a section of the park that functions like a mini-zoo, filled with iconic Aussie animals: dingoes, emus, kangaroos, snakes, toads—and cassowaries (a new one for me)! And of course, koalas. One of which I have befriended… and was devastated to leave behind. Or did I…? ^^

    The koala cuddle session was probably the highlight of my day — although the free-fall ride from a tower 119 meters high (that’s 39 stories!) comes in at a very close second (you can see the tower on pic 3). It was both terrifying and exhilarating. You’re pulled up slowly (it feels like it never ends…), left waiting at the top… and then suddenly —CLICK— and WOOOOSH. Down you go. Fast, about 135 km/h.

    It only lasted just under 5 seconds—but the adrenaline rush stayed with me much longer.

    Despite the rain pouring down all day it was fantastic! I’m really glad I had fun people around and didn’t have to go alone. 😊     Czytaj więcej

    Body Worlds Brisbane

    20 czerwca, Australia ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C

    Today I was walking through Brisbane again and stumbled upon a Body Worlds exhibition by accident — and decided to have a look. Impressive, I must say! And educational. These photos only show the “milder” exhibits — there were many others, but to exercise viewer discretion, I left a few out.

    The exhibition revolved around one central theme: happiness and how you can achieve it. A few of the tips they shared? Stay active. Keep learning new things. Stay connected with people. Exercise and eat well. Find something you’re passionate about. Not exactly rocket science, but still so easy to neglect.

    While some exhibits showed healthy organs and bodies, others displayed what a smoker’s lung can look like, or the effects of a stroke. Pic 14 shows the “Orthopaedic Body,” which had “a lot of work done” — illustrating what it looks like when bones are screwed back together with plates, or after a hip replacement. You could see preserved bodies (admittedly, most of them male) performing all kinds of sports — even chess, if you’re inclined to count that as one 😄 — and various internal systems like the nervous or vascular system. They even had the three smallest bones in the human body. Where are they found, again? Exactly — in your ear.

    At the end of the exhibition, there was a big chalkboard wall that read: “Before I die I want to…” and everyone could write something down. It was pretty touching to read what people had written. A lot of them mentioned the classics: travel more, find love, start a family. Others were more specific — I remember reading about someone wanting to skydive, or marry a particular celebrity. And then there were the cheeky ones. My favourite? “Get men pregnant.” 😄

    Maybe think about it yourself — what would you have written down? 😉     Czytaj więcej

    Grand Views and New Furry Friends

    18–19 cze, Australia ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C

    The past few days have been lovely, and I’ve been taking it a little easier. After the stress of getting up between 3 and 6 a.m. for about two weeks, I was still pretty exhausted and needed some time to re-energise.

    What better way to do that than by offering friendship to a few of the cute resident animals? (The friendship is still pending — not sure why they’re so skittish! That’s also why none of them have a friendship bracelet yet…)

    I’m really enjoying my time with Celeste and Ben, who have not only made me feel incredibly welcome but are also, I’m glad to say, a lot less skittish. 😄     Czytaj więcej

    Another Day in Brisbane

    17 czerwca, Australia ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C

    Today I went into Brisbane on my own by train (it was only slightly confusing to figure out which one to take) and spent some more time exploring.

    Highlight of the day: the best vanilla thickshake ever! That definitely made me happy. 😁
    Aside from that, I came across even more beautiful architecture — and took the time to photograph some of it.

    There’s not much more to say… except that I still don’t have the beach bod I’m dreaming of.
    Mirrors in clothing stores are just not flattering — I’m convinced the fault lies with the mirrors. Everybody please agree. 😁     Czytaj więcej

    South Bank

    16 czerwca, Australia ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C

    Today, Celeste and I went into town and strolled along the South Bank — in beautiful weather!
    We had a great view of the CBD skyline, walked across bridges, and came across an awesome public swimming pool (free!) designed like a tropical lagoon. Eventually, we ended up in the Botanical Gardens, where we had a quick look around and a drink before we had to skedaddle again.

    Even tonight, I’m looking forward to catching up on some sleep — while I’ve been okay during the day, I’m still feeling the effects of not having really slept that last night in Sydney…     Czytaj więcej

    Brisbane

    15 czerwca, Australia ⋅ ☁️ 8 °C

    What a night.
    With my flight to Brisbane scheduled to leave at 6 am, I’d set my alarm for 3 am to give myself ample time to get ready and get to the airport.

    Thanks to people coming in at all hours after partying, I don’t think I really slept at all until around 1 am. Then, just as I’d finally dozed off, a guy came in at 2:30 am — drunk — turned on all the lights in the room, and just sat on his bed for minutes. The lights were blindingly bright and woke everyone up. Slightly annoyed, I reached down from my bed and turned them off again — only for him to turn them back on. By that point, I was properly angry. So, I got up way too early.

    Turned out that was a good thing.

    I wanted to book an Uber to get to the airport — usually a pretty reliable option. But for whatever reason, four drivers in a row failed to show up. One kept telling me to call him. First, he sent me the wrong number, and then, with the right one, he simply wouldn’t answer. In the end, I had to take a taxi — much more expensive — just to make it on time.

    ⸻

    I arrived in Brisbane and, after getting lost on the way to baggage claim (who puts the luggage collection for some flights — but not all — in a completely different building?), I was picked up by Celeste. She and her husband Ben had invited me to stay with them for a bit while I’m here — we met a few months ago and stayed in touch.

    Celeste drove me around and showed me the area — a place called Maleny — including the view from the aptly named Mountain View Road, which you can see in the photos.

    Somehow, I actually made it through the entire day without feeling too tired, despite not having slept properly at all. That said, I thoroughly enjoyed going to bed — a really nice, properly sized bed with no one else in the room! Well, except for the kitty cat, who’s crafty enough to bend the door handle to her will and barge in unannounced. 😁     Czytaj więcej

    Bondi Beach

    14 czerwca, Australia ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C

    My last full day in Sydney – for now.
    Equipped with my camera in one hand and a box of ripe, freshly harvested macarons in the other, I hopped on the bus to Bondi Beach. (There were four different bus stops, and I missed a few buses figuring out which one was the right one… Luckily, with buses arriving every six minutes, it wasn’t too bad. Yes, I could have asked for help, but I decided to prioritise savouring the macarons and figuring things out myself. 😁)

    As soon as I arrived — and true to what one of my taxi drivers in Vanuatu once called me, “the daughter of the rain god” — it started to rain. Bondi didn’t look especially welcoming under grey skies, but that didn’t stop a few brave souls from swimming and plenty more from surfing. I tried to capture some of that action with my camera, and that was lots of fun.

    As for the swimmers, the ever-vigilant lifeguards kept watch from their rescue tower. Being a bit of a fan of the YouTube series Bondi Rescue, I’d secretly hoped to spot a familiar face or two — but no such luck.

    Eventually, I wandered around the cliffs on the right-hand side of the beach, then made my way back to the bus stop — where I got lucky: the payment system was broken on that particular bus, so the ride was free. Considering how expensive everything is here, I revelled in that small win for quite some time. 😁     Czytaj więcej

    Royal Botanical Gardens

    11 czerwca, Australia ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C

    Today I explored the Royal Botanical Gardens in Sydney. I intended to go straight there, but thanks to my ever-improving navigation skills, I walked in the opposite direction. Luckily, I stumbled upon an Asian mall where I found—wait for it—a place that specialises in matcha and mochi! All I’ve ever wanted! (Apart from winning the lottery.)

    Just like with the Cinnabon and the macarons a few days earlier, I feel like the Asian mall found me, not the other way around.

    After my little Asian excursion, I decided to trust myself rather than Google Maps—and what do you know, I found the Botanical Gardens fairly quickly! They’re incredibly spacious and home to a variety of birds I don’t think I’ve ever seen before. One bird, in particular, seemed just as skeptical of directions as I am—it clearly tried to nudge me in the wrong one. But I wasn’t about to be hoodwinked—I trusted the stationary road sign. As long as it isn’t Google Maps…

    Today also marked the first day I didn’t go to the QVB—fortunately, other places sell macarons too.     Czytaj więcej

    Queen Victoria Building and Surroundings

    10 czerwca, Australia ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C

    In the past few days, I’ve been busy organising a few things for my stay in Australia — but one constant has been going to the Queen Victoria Building (QVB) every day. The building is kind of mesmerising: it was built for Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee in 1898 — just three years before her death. Its stately design is matched by its impressive size: a five-storey building with over 150 shops! You can find just about anything in there — even the most delicious macarons. Though, in all fairness, I wasn’t looking for them… they found me. True story. I’m sure.

    Despite the large crowds (which I never enjoy), I can’t deny that I like strolling through the building. You never know which shop you might have overlooked. For example, on my second day, I found a Cinnabon shop. I thought it would be wise to get a small one. After three bites, I was aching for more… but I stayed strong. So today, I went back — for the six macaron flavours I hadn’t yet tried on my first day. 😄

    Sydney impresses me with its architecture in general, and so far, it seems quite clean! The only thing I’ve noticed rather strongly is how much people keep to themselves — they avoid eye contact and don’t reciprocate a smile, or they simply look away. It was the same in Auckland, really. I notice it so strongly because in Vanuatu, it was completely different.

    Yes, on the one hand, people in Vanuatu made it clear more than once that I wasn’t one of them — the bus wouldn’t stop for me, only for locals; at the airport, while standing in line for the so-called “online check-in” (which was just a regular check-in, because the website didn’t work), I was first in line and still got shoved aside or ignored four times in favour of locals. And they weren’t subtle about it.

    But on the other hand, no matter where you went in Vanuatu, it was customary to make eye contact with people you passed on the street, smile, and greet them. Depending on who you encountered, the level of enthusiasm varied, of course, but by and large, everyone followed this unwritten rule — and I was glad to join in. Whenever I passed children, they were especially happy to greet me. Usually, I was walking past them, giving them plenty of time to get excited about the encounter. But even in Tanna, when I was being driven along the good part of the road, children would wave and say hello. That was pretty sweet.

    So now, the contrast hits quite hard. And I must confess: I didn’t expect to find it so difficult to adjust to this new (but also old) reality.
    Also — getting used to walking on the left again. (In Vanuatu, you walk and drive on the right.)     Czytaj więcej
