Life is a beach

There is no doubt that for our family the best place to relax and have holiday is a seaside. Since our last Fraser holiday we haven't done much just saving and planning our next beach holiday and here we go after only 7 weeks of hard working we are back on road driving to Noosa. We have been to Noosa couple of times in past years but we always like to go back there. We spent whole day on the beach building sandcastles and others constructions, having lunches with beach view, collecting wild flowers and finishing day with beach walk. Like someone who would first time see ocean. It feels to me that ocean help us to find our inner peace, recover from daily routine and nonsense around us - it give us time to smell the roses

International woman day

International woman day Well what can I say my hubby for the first time made it very special for me Usually he doesn’t remember about it and this year was no different but once I did made him feel guilty for forgetting he made it up for me a big time We went to see exhibition about early French hand – coloured fashion stencils It was such a nice thing to do for woman day

especially that I love fashion and art and it had it both…

Fraser Island I am back blogging! Just couple of pictures from our summer holiday We had really good time and definitely going back to explore more of Fraser

our bohemian life

On 31.08.2013 we took for the first time part in diner en blanc. It was an amazing night, we ate, drank, talked, danced and loved it. I think photos will say the rest

LUGANO

When I first started my blog I decided it will be also our diary showing our presence, future but also past Today's post is from the past - from 2006 trip to Lugano. I have a dear friend in Milan. We met in high school during my school trip to Italy. We know each other already 18 years - it sounds crazy. Well to make long story short we reunited in 2006 after many years not being in touch and spent some time together in Italy and Lugano. It was spring time and we decided to drive from Milan to Lugano for a day trip. He is a very good driver and took us safely through the mountains to discover beautiful Lugano. We spent only a day there but it was worth it. I don't remember much (sign of getting old) and don't have any pics from it and the one he emailed me are very bad. I did search online to see what I still remember. I have in my head pictures of beautiful lake, mountains, flowers everywhere, and very cold wind. The colors were so amazingly rich and deep - blues and greens His Mum made us beautiful picnic lunch and we walked for hours. Memory is fading and this post is to keep it alive ... happy 18th anniversary to my dear friend.

Weekend notes

Last weekend wasn't the best for me but my great hubby managed to turned it into not so bad one at the end. He took me for dinner on Sun night so I could forget about all bad things happening and relax a bit. We went to a little Japanese bar in the Valley Great place, yummy fresh food and not overpriced Funny and friendly staff - we were very happy with the choice we made We have started with a bowl of spiced beans, followed by duck dumplings and rice and beef dish to share It is such a happy and quirky place, would say more for young people grabbing something to eat before night out Will be back soon for sure...

OLD SCHOOL

Today post will be about Underwater Mermaid Theater How I found it - I don't know. Well I kind of know, it is getting warmer here, spring is coming in September and I was in mood to start planning our summer holiday (as you do)and somehow I found it. I was always a little bit "old school" don't know why, not that I don't like modern staff but I get more exited with vintage aspect of the world. I have never been to states but more and more feel like going there. We made some provisional plans with our friends to visit America but it will be in couple of years first. So I don't know how I ended up looking into Florida while planning next Oz holiday. Going back to my new discovery it is located in Weeki Wachee, Florida. The idea was first born in Newton Perry mind around 1946. He was an ex nave officer who trained navy seals to swim underwater in WWII. Firstly the theatre had only 18 seats and the whole routine was without music and tails. The theatre was sold in 1959 to The American Broadcasting Company Co having its best times. Since 2008 it was made into Florida State Park. I don't want to write to much about the history as the most important is the show itself. I would like to finish with official Weeki Wachee mermaid anthem: "We're not like other women We don't have to clean an oven And we nev-er will grow olllllllllld.... We've got the world by the tail!"
