In our visit to the Blue Mountains we saw this sandstone formation called "Three Sisters". You can see the three projections that depict this. Australia has a rich cultural heritage from the Aboriginals and there is a spiritual...

We did a little escape to the Blue Mountains and spent some awesome time on mountains with valley views and spectacular sunrises. We wished we could have taken a longer break! I'll post a few pics - this one is a view into the...

We met with a few families at the beachside park for an early morning Easter service and the weather did not play nice. After a warm few days, it decided to be cloudy, cold and very windy. The sea and beach looked a little drab....

We spent a couple of hours at an Apple Orchard yesterday. We could pick apples there and pay for what we picked. The apples we plucked off the trees were much juicer and tastier than what we get at the supermarkets - doesn't come...

The inside of the Opera House at Sydney

Pitstop @pitstop (15022) • Australia 12 Apr

Although most people will recognize the iconic Sydney Opera House from the outside, the inside is just as spectacular. This is the main Concert Hall with one of the largest pipe organs in the world and a capacity of 2000. There...

I had a short touristy visit to Sydney and managed to spend the afternoon and evening in the area with the Harbour Bridge and the Opera House. Now back in the hotel and ready to leave tomorrow. It's been more than 10 years since...

Coffee is best when it's in your mouth or in your tummy. But there is a brief time when it needs to be in a cup and it doesn't really matter how good it looks in the cup - unless you've paid a fortune for it at a coffee shop and...

My tryst with coffee art and twisted hearts continues

Pitstop @pitstop (15022) • Australia 4 Apr

The school certainly does well in getting the children to try different ways of expressing art. The other day they did this and all the kids stuck their art on the hallway to let the parents see them. My daughter was pretty...

A murky sunset through a dirty car window

Pitstop @pitstop (15022) • Australia 31 Mar

Well, any sunset is pretty. And this murky little sunset last evening which I observed through my dirty car window was still beautiful. I had an hours wait before my daughter finished her 'tumbling' class and this was my view. The...

The layers of coffee

Pitstop @pitstop (15022) • Australia 31 Mar

I made coffee in a glass tumbler today. I started with milk in the glass that I frother and then let the machine pour the coffee over it. Guess what - it layered like this. The white milk froth floated on top and the clearing...

The newest coffee beans I bought seemed to be specially brewed for the Easter long weekend which is still 3 weeks away. I ran out of beans this weekend and decided to open it. Have I committed a crime by not waiting for the long...
