Similan Island – Phuket Province

After unending hours of flights and waiting in airports of Sydney, Melbourne and Hong Kong, 1st stop before Paris: Phuket, Thailand.


If this bay has some nice beaches as Kata one, it is badly touristic and terribly busy. I escape for one day trip to Similan Islands...

Turquoise clear water, white sandy beach, so beautiful colours but unfortunately if you look closer, it is pretty dirty of rubbishes too.

As far as I can compare, snorkelling around the Australian Great Barrier Reef is my best experience among the turtles, fishes and corals.

But don't worry, I enjoy here of course!!!!

Australia, The End

Months away of adventure, new places, nice encounters... Life Down under has been exceptionally intense.
Because I feel it ending now, I can only think of how precious those good times were. I will treasure this experience wherever I am.


Australian life ends with my amazing 24 years under the sun before I open page 25 of my travel book.

John Butler Trio live

To celebrate the beginning of their music tour around the world (France this month, don’t miss it!), the Apple Store of Sydney organised a free performance by the John Butler Trio for their keen supporters. After two hours waiting in the queue I got in, and it was worth it. Stunning!

Tour dates, new album to discover, previous hits to listen to and to enjoy again, and more about these three Australians here.

Angus & Julia Stone live

Sold out since end of January, I luckily managed to find a ticket to see the duo who rocks my life from the road trip in Western Australia, on my Great Ocean Road bicycle ride (music help in hills), following me until the streets of Sydney.

I am not surprised that their new album is intituled “Down the way”, how it reminds me all the landscapes I could admire during my Australian bit of travel and life when I listen to them. I invite you to discover the folk music of Angus and Julia Stone right now here and there.

Sydney Harbour national park - Mosman - Balmoral

From Circular Quay, catch the ferry to Taronga Zoo Warf. Enjoy a ten minutes cruise on the bay.




Arriving North shore, follow the coast on a pretty walkway among the gum trees which offering an amazing view on the city. Feel free to take a seat on the friendly benches disposed on the way. Also, some paths invite you to accede to quiet beaches. Be sure to dispose of enough time to speak to the locals, always opened for a chat about their beautiful country or to take you in picture.

Continue your walk and you will discover old army strategic places. Always situated on high heads, they are now open to every lovers of the Bay. You hiked a bit, now walk down to Balmoral beach and take a worthy rest on the little peninsula.


Don't forget, the last ferry is at 19.00 so take the quick bus 285 to the Zoo.


















Great, sunset time and cruise again…

Manly Scenic Walkway – North Head

As a part of the Sydney Harbour National Park, North Head of Manly was a military zone, now almost open to walk all around the cliffs, and to appreciate views on the city, Watson Bay, Manly and the Northern Beaches.








It is so fantastic to find so many natural sites close from the CDB.

Bondi Beach

It seems the summer is lasting.

Heat and sun come finally after a mixed season.

Bondi beach, good for surfing or just for the mood; for the sand among the toes.
