    Today, I had the best meal of my trip at Le Foote in The Rocks district of Sydney. Real napkins, as in fabric. Bar seat. Great service. Yummy food. And the venue was super. And I had shaved calamari as a starter. It was tremendous. Charred cucumber, lime vinaigrette all tossed into a pan for… Read more

    The Art Gallery of New South Wales was mega! And in Australia, like in the UK, museums are generally for free. I’m team make-museums-great-again! Then headed to Circular Quays via the Royal Botanical Garden & the Sydney Opera House to hop onto a boat. And then I hit Manly Beach to watch the waves come… Read more

    Good morning world! Slept well again. Andi and I often go to spinning classes when we travel. Easy to do. Class Pass, book, and los geht’s! That’s exactly what I did this morning, at 07:00.

    I slept like a baby last night. Finally, some quality-shut-eye. Woke up asking myself three questions: What time is it? Where am I? What am I doing today? But first, what did I do last night? My evening started with the most impressive dance performance I have ever seen: Horizon by the Bangarra Dance Theater… Read more

    After a very bumpy flight from Singapore, I made it to Sydney this morning. It has rained all day. And when I say rain, I mean RAIN. Unbelievable. It didn’t stop me from taking a walk, though. Hyde Park, close to my hotel, and home to St. Mary’s Cathedral. And plenty of flora and fauna… Read more
