[176/365] View from Atop the Sydney Tower, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia
From atop the Sydney Tower in the downtown area, there are views of all the high rises, as well as the Harbour Bridge in the distance. I love looking at city skylines by night!
[175/365] Sydney Harbour Bridge and Sydney Opera House, The Rocks, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia
After leaving Espiritu Santo, I had a stopover in Vanuatu’s capital city of Port Vila where I spent a couple of hours. After departing there, I headed back to Sydney. On our first full day in Sydney, we explored the areas around the Harbour Bridge and Sydney Opera House. We made our way to the […]
[174/365] Seacrab in Garlic Chili Cream Sauce, Aore Island Resort, Aore Island, Vanuatu
This is has to be the best crab I’ve EVER eaten. It cooked just perfectly, in a savory garlic chili cream sauce. It took close to two hours to eat it – I wanted to make sure that I ate every piece of it because I knew I wouldn’t get to taste it again anytime […]
[173/365] Snorkeling off of Aore Island, Aore Island, Vanuatu
Just off of Aore Island, I went snorkeling in the calm waters. Amazingly, just a few feet from shore in shallow waters, there were corals and fish everywhere. I was in awe of the underwater world that I got to experience. So glad that I have an underwater camera case! Vanuatu is a great area […]
[172/365] Cocktail on the Beach, Oyster Island, Vanuatu
Wow, paradise. Sipped on a cocktail while admiring the beauty of the beach and the surrounding islands… We took a day trip to Oyster Island for some relaxation under the sun. It’s a small island that we attempted to kayak around – didn’t quite finish because it started getting dark…
[171/365] Palekula Public Beach, Espiritu Santo, Vanuatu
The waters of Vanuatu are just lovely! Swimming in the warm water on a nearly deserted beach – can’t get better than that. The sun was starting to set around 5pm and it created great reflections of the sky onto the water!
[170/365] Wreckage of Plane Crash, Espiritu Santo, Vanuatu
The Americans used the Espiritu Santo island of Vanuatu as a Pacific military base during World War II, so remnants can be seen all over the island, both above ground and underwater! On the way to the beach on my first full day there, we stopped on the side of the road and walked a […]
[169/365] Air Vanuatu Plane, Vanuatu
From Sydney, I continued on my journey to the country of Vanuatu, an island nation comprised of 83 islands a couple hours east of Northern Australia. I spent the majority of my time on the island of Espiritu Santo, in the city of Luganville. My trip there was 4 flights and took over 30 hours […]
[168/365] Rainbow over Sydney Airport, Sydney, Australia
Hello friends! I am finally back! I think this has been the longest period of blog inactivity because internet was minimal and I was always in a rush when I did have it. I am going to try to do make-up blogs in chronological order. I have returned back to the states after a couple […]
