Visiting Churaumi Aquarium and Ocean Expo Park

Churaumi Aquarium We wanted to get to the Churaumi Aquarium early which meant we had an early start. We mapped out a route which would have taken about 2 hours to get there. However, due to some navigation challenges again, we found ourselves on the toll expressway which shaved a half hour off our trip. In the end it got us there faster and was worth the toll. Charumi Aquarium is a place that...

After our first port stop in Florence, we continue on our Mediterranean cruise with stops in Cannes and Marseille Cannes I was always curious when Cannes ended up on our itinerary. I've always associated it with the glitz and glamor of movie stars and the cinema being that it is the host city of the Cannes film festival.

Hamilton Island / Airlie Beach Leaving Melbourne towards Hamilton Island/Airlie Beach meant we were on the last leg of our trip. A short stopover in Brisbane allowed Photos and I to satisfy a seafood pasta craving we seemingly didn't quench whilst in Melbourne.

Engagement As mentioned in the previous post, we ran into the couple that was the inspiration for the proposal graffitti. Rewinding to our first day visit to St. Kilda, Photos had mentioned that one of his bucket list items was to photograph subjects in another country. We had joked about putting out a craigslist ad for a free photo shoot but we weren't really serious about it. In the evening we...
