sisters head east...

My sisters & I are off on an adventure - a road trip, first to Mt Gambier, then along the Great Ocean Road to Apollo Bay, followed by Melbourne, staying for a few days in each place. We're coming home via Broken Hill, so that we can catch up with our sister & niece.

We're planning twelve days of waterfalls, bush walks, amazing scenery, good food, plenty of photographs, fun, early mornings, exploring, a little shopping & lots of laughter.

You can follow our adventures on our tumblr, as well as my instagram & tumblr, with possibly a few posts here & on Kathryn's blog.

This blog + facebook will be pretty quiet & also, my etsy shop will be closed for the fortnight.

guten tag | munich & berlin

While I'm still sorting the photos I took with the camera, I thought I'd run with one of Kathryn's ideas & share a few of the iPhone photos I posted on tumblr while I was away - first up, Germany...

1. Schloss Nymphenburg, Munich \\ 2. sunset from my window, Munich \\ 3. Alexanderplatz, Berlin \\ 4. view in Hohenschwangau, Munich \\ 5. French Cathedral, Berlin \\ 6. Schloss Sanssouci, Berlin

bonjour | Paris

Vickie is currently in Poland and about half way through her amazing adventure. So, I thought I'd share a few of the shots she's been sharing on her tumblr of Paris, the first stop on her trip.

1. view from Sacre-Coeur // 2. Citrus tart // 3. Arc de Triomphe // 4. Jardin du Luxembourg // 5. and Jardin du Luxembourg, again // 6. Musee d’Orsay

a walk in the (national) park | Alligator Gorge

We had gorgeous weather over the Easter weekend & spent Good Friday exploring Alligator Gorge. It was the perfect day for it - mild & a little sunny, with a nice breeze - & we thoroughly enjoyed our wander, listening to birdsong, enjoying nature & being awe-struck at the magnificent scenery.

After enjoying the views from the look-outs, we ventured down the stairs into the gorge, walked along the terraces, followed the path (&/or creek bed) through the gorge - marvelling at the vast, layered walls (& the trees & grasses managing to grow there) - & climbed back up to the top for lunch.

It was an altogether lovely way to spend the day...

off on a most excellent adventure...

...yup, that would be me.

This May & June I will be visiting Paris, Munich, Berlin, Warsaw, Lodz, Krakow & Prague...I'm excited & nervous (aka terrified) in roughly equal proportions - this will be my longest/biggest solo trip & my first time overseas. There's still heaps to organise, but things are being booked, so this seems to actually be happening.

I'm planning lots of walking, museum & gallery visiting, cafés, photography, day trips, walking tours, maybe a class or two? - I want to have an itinerary, but with lots of room for going with what I feel like - the best (& scariest) bit about travelling by myself is that it's all up to me!

Have you ever been to Europe? Got any tips, tricks, un-missable things? I'd love to read about them :)
