We started our visit from the top level, where the Australian fauna was represented. Along with photos, stuffed animals and information boards, we encountered some very alive fish, squid, turtles and even what looked like a baby crocodile. There was a Kidspace for the under 5s, which my...

The Australian Reptile Park covers a relatively small area, but it offers lots to explore, plenty of interaction with wildlife and delightful bushwalks. The reptile section is impressive, but it is not all about reptiles. You can also see a wide range of Australian birds and mammals, including...

Sydney Wildlife World occupies quite a small area, so the animals are exhibited on three levels. The insect section was quite good and I was impressed by the butterfly area. I did not like the rest of it much – most of the time visitors walk through dark air-conditioned hallways and view the...

After walking through a very dormitory-like hallway, I found the room surprisingly clean and comfortable. It had all the basic facilities you would expect from this standard of accommodation. The first thing in the welcome folder was not a welcome letter, but a list of charges for damages. While...

Sunny Beach is the largest Bulgarian resort with well over 100 hotels and numerous bars, restaurants and shops. It is famous for its wide fine-sand beach with calm, clear water. Shopping is great with great choice of souvenirs, clothes, silver jewelry and of course, beach items. It is a...

Stadtpark is a great place for recreation, beautifully landscaped just like all other parks in Vienna. It is located very close to the City Airport Train station, so I went there with my son during our transit time in Vienna. There were no food or drink outlets open at 7 am, but there was plenty...

I had liked this café from the outside for a long time, but it is located inside a homeware shop, so I did not think it was a good idea to go there with my 2-year-old son. When I finally got a child-free hour, I stopped there for a coffee and was not disappointed. The coffee and the sweets were...

The café is very inviting, with European feel to it. We went there for breakfast and found the service very efficient and friendly. However, the food was quite expensive and not up to the standard of other similarly priced cafes in the area. The portions were small, the presentation was not...

Trattoria Bondi is a great Italian restaurant, in the beginning of Campbell Parade, where the outside seating overlooks Bondi Beach. When I lived in the area, I used to go there often for coffee and now, after a long break, I recently rediscovered the Trattoria. We went there several times for...

I went there in the beginning of September 2008. One of the wings was being renovated, so the Cathedral did not look as impressive as I remembered. Still it was beautiful and peaceful. It was also very big and hard to encompass all at the same time, so make sure to have a look at the mini model...

I have walked past this restaurant so many times, but for some reason I have always thought that it was just another Westernised Thai restaurant. Today I finally gave it a go and I was pleasantly surprised. The food was quite nice and the settings were very relaxing. The service was great. After...

The restaurant has unique Italian feel to it, decorated with Ducati motorbikes and I am not an expert, but I would say they are the real thing. We went there quite early, at about 5.30 pm, so there weren’t many people yet and we got plenty of attention from the staff. The service was very...

The café has an inviting interior and very comfortable lounges. The service was friendly and the owner remembered us from our last visit, which was more than 6 months ago. The food and coffee were very nice and came out really quick. The only drawback for me was the noise: there was construction...

Fred Hollows Reserve is a small creek with its original vegetation well preserved. It offers a 10-15 minute walk, a combination of boardwalk and a footpath through the bush. It is a great place to reconnect with nature in the middle of a busy suburb. Surprisingly, you can hardly hear the traffic...

Circular Quay is somewhat similar to Darling Harbour with a variety of street performers and lots of cafes and restaurants lined up along the water. I find that it lacks Darling Harbour’s relaxed atmosphere, maybe, because it is a major transport point with a station, a bus interchange and a...

The distance is only 120 km and you would think that you would get there in an hour and a bit, but plan for at least 2 hours, closer to 3 hours if you are not familiar with the road. Most of the way you will have to drive through the mountain Stara Planina. The road is winding and quite narrow at...

This is a fairly new and big shopping centre with lots of designer shops as well as more affordable mainstream stores. There are two food courts in the centre, one is more fast-food orientated and the other one has stylish, restaurant-like design. What I don’t like about the Westfield Bondi...

You cannot miss the Pantokrator Church if you are coming from the main entrance to the city, but if you have entered from a different place, then make sure to look it up. It is fairly well preserved and a very popular choice to photograph for postcards from Nesebur and Bulgaria. Built in the...

The Proboscis monkeys with their distinct long noses can only be found in Borneo. We took a 3-hour monkey watching boat tour at dusk, when the monkeys were active and easy to spot. The boats took us into the mangroves and there we slowed down, so that we did not make much noise. We saw monkeys...

Danny’s had a restaurant and a street-level café for casual dining. We chose the café. It looked (and smelled) like a typical fish and chips shop. The smell of fried fish and chips was so strong that we opted to sit outside even though it was a cold winter day. The staff did not seem to be...
