~chasing dreams ~ catching moments~
A visit to this glorious city will guarantee you unforgettable images of distinct bridges arching over tiny canals, lovers on fancy gondolas serenaded by their gondolier, the city's architecture as a backdrop, the eerie alleyways you feel thankful if it gets crowded. It is a city that everyone should visit at least once in their life time! Here is a rundown of what you can do in Venice for 3 days.
One of the reasons why I started this blog, was to share travel tips, itineraries, experiences and travel photos with the hopes of inspiring and helping first timers to Europe plan out their trip. Which I am still aspiring to be able to fulfil in the future. Because I am having a 'writer's block' at the moment (though I have never been a writer to begin with) on how to write how to and what to blog entries, I have decided to start a series of 'Photo Diary' to be able to share our photos minus the pressure of a real write up.
The Lindenderry at Red Hill is just an hour's drive from Melbourne. Located in the hinterland of the most charming Mornington Peninsula. The moment you drive into the estate and look on the left side, you will be greeted with a dreamy view of the estate, which instantly transports you a world away. The carefully cultured grapevines, rows of perfect cone shaped pine trees and rose bushes that leads to the hotel's entrance gives you that European country side feel.
Spend half or the whole day discovering this artisan haven. Without much expectations, this stop is surely one of those that you will always be thankful you made a U-Turn.
The Great Ocean Road is about a 240km stretch or approximately a five hour drive of winding coastlines at the lowest tip of Australia facing the Southern Ocean. A destination popular for 1) road trips for its infinite views, 2) surfing for its ripping waves, 3) swim spots for its sandy beaches, 4) relaxing coastal towns and it's numerous cafes, 5) inland activities and 6) home to the iconic limestone stack formation - The Twelve Apostles, just to name a few.
I did not have much expectations of Milan, aside from the known fact that it is the Fashion Capital of the World. Our Uber driver made that clear to us. Of course, he picked us up from the stazione looking sprezzatura in his black leather jacket, denim jeans, pointed dark brown leather shoes, black sunglasses and his shiny Mercedes Benz. Hello Rockstar!
Finding the perfect canola field to take photos made easy. Take a drive to The Bellarine Peninsula stopping by the coastal town of Barwon Heads for some grub.
