What I’ve Been Doing For The Last Five Days

May 14th, 2012 by wayne

A busy street with cafes and restaurants in Aix-en-provence, FranceI just thought I’d let you know the life I’ve been living for the last 5 days in Aix-en-provence in France ( 7th – 12th May ).

Here is a photo of a little street that Kama and I kept going back to, to sample the cafes and restaurants that abound there. We stumbled upon a little crepe restaurant when we first arrived, mainly because they had pictures of the meals on the walls, so we figured we’d have a better chance to be able to order something, as Kama’s french was a lot rusty and mine is purely from watching TV and movies.

Nutella Pizzas – What the…

May 11th, 2012 by wayne

Nutella PizzasThe strangest thing we came across in France was a proliferation of Nutella pizzas?

Just about everywhere we went there was a pizzeria of little shop selling Nutella pizzas, and they usually had what looked like 1kg and 2kg tubs of Nutella on display to attract people.

This phenomenon just about destroyed our belief that France is the perfect food culture? I mean, what are they thinking?

I can understand a piece of toast with Nutella, maybe once or twice a year, but a large pizza, covered in nutella instead of tomato paste, and then other desserty stuff on top?

What do you think?

Would you like to have a nutella pizza, or do you think that in this case, the french have gone bonkers?

Wandering The Streets Of Malaga, Spain

April 28th, 2012 by wayne

We took the train from Fuengirola to Malaga on Thursday, just to check the place out. The train system in this part of Spain is very good.

Once in Malaga, we were in for a very pleasant surprise! Once we got out of the main traffic flow of the major streets, we entered a beautiful ‘old’ area of the city where the streets are tiled rather than paved, where there are ancient roman ruins, preserved for tourism, and incredible architecture in the buildings and surrounds.

I love old ornate architecture, and especially brickwork in the style that they used to lay bricks back then, and there is plenty of examples of that throughout.

I have created another GALLERY PAGE of some of the photos of Malaga for your enjoyment, if you are interested in old city architecture, so click on the gallery page link, or CLICK HERE to view the page.

I took lots more photos than what’s on that page, but decided not to overload you with too many options.

We wandered around until quite late in the evening, mesmerised by each street and alleyway, and returned home with the firm decision to go back to visit Malaga city again, to look around some more!

Maybe next time we’ll find some dragons?

Sunrise Over The Mediterranean

April 27th, 2012 by wayne

Sunrise over the Mediterranean

Due to responses to the Facebook “what’s on your mind” the other day about watching the sunrise over the Mediterranean, and as I had to get up early this morning for a skype call to Brisbane, I took some photos of this morning’s sunrise to share with you.

I took quite a few, so I have made a GALLERY PAGE for you to choose or browse from. (Click on the ‘gallery page’ link)

If you think the photos look good, they just couldn’t capture how beautiful it was in person… I feel very fortunate and privileged to have been a witness!

My New Shoes & The Song To Match

April 25th, 2012 by kama

When I was a little girl I loved getting new shoes. I always wanted purple or red shiny shoes. Most of the time I would get nice sensible shoes however, new shoes were still exciting. 

Fast Tube

At the moment I am in Spain. After hours of walking a few days ago I decided to buy some running shoes for comfort. I have small feet so I ended up buying a pair designed for children with a vibrant pink on the edges and underneath. My partner wayne also bought a pair of running shoes and when we returned to the car we decided to wear our new shoes. As we were putting on our new shoes the above song started playing on the radio and all of a sudden the childhood joy of new shoes returned. 

Next we went to a supermarket where we realised how bright our shoes were. We couldn’t stop laughing as passing people gazed at our bright white shoes. I felt rather silly but it was also fun. 

I love that such pleasure can be found in a new pair of shoes. In this case the biggest pleasure was the comfort the new shoes bought to our feet … oh and the pink of course. 

So just had to share the above song with you and hope you are enjoying some of the small pleasures in life such as the pleasure of a new pair of shoes.
