This is not a statue, it is a collection of statues. Angels, faith, justice and religion is what i see…..
This photo was taken in London at Buckingham Palace.

The inner canals of Amsterdam date back to the 17th Century.
This was a cold morning but with beautiful clear skies. We managed to find a tiny spot to park our bicycles.

I learnt an interesting fact of Bold Park the other day, it is slightly larger than the famous Kings Park.
Bold Park is hilly and contains a few tracks for walking and running (around 14km’s). Bold Park unlike Kings Park is not manicured, it is Australian bush land in its raw form just a 15 minute drive from the city centre.
I like to exercise but lately Jacobs Ladder is full of peacocks(code for show offs) so i frequent a quieter place that has some challenging hills leading to beautiful views to the city and the ocean. The sun sets over the ocean in Perth and from the hill it is a perfect vantage point.
For those that do not wish to sweat while enjoying the park’s surroundings you can drive to rebold hill, parking is available.
I think there is a bus that you can catch from the city or Subiaco. The park is across the road from Challenge Stadium in Mt Claremont.

So many photographic opportunities in this European city. Every day was beautiful in Amsterdam when we were their last Feb, so lucky that no rain greeted our arrival until we got to London. I am slowly going through my photo’s of Amsterdam and wishing i was back on the canals, riding a bicycle and consuming cakes. Forget ‘I’ll guess we will always have Paris’ !

A bit is happening in the food arena of Subiaco, a few new places have or are in the midst of opening their doors. Mad Mex has recently opened on Hay street next to Kebabways. It is fully ‘decked’ out with corona chandeliers and plenty of seating outside.
I haven’t dined in yet however ordered a Nachos ($11.90) to go the other night. Pretty tasty for fast food and if you want it to be chilli, they will make it Chilli (one for my Malaysian friends).
Max Mex is similar to Subway in some respect as you go through the process of choosing the toppings with the attendant before reaching the counter to pay. All the ingredients are on display for your selection.
I think they will be serving tequila and slushie cocktails in the near future, there is a massive sign saying coming soon. It would be good to see a casual establishment in Subie selling alcohol or maybe not?

Living so close to this little French Patisserie I can smell the pastries and breads and well how can I resist having my coffee their? Choux Cafe make all of their products in the cafe. Each time I try to taste something different even if I may not be entirely convinced of the combinations, like the Strawberry and Basil Macaroon. I am always pleasantly surprised with the combination of such unusual flavours (The Pineapple and Avocado Macaroon to name another).

A quick Sunday morning coffee at Spring Espresso on Bagot Road in Subiaco. Spring is always busy in the mornings, it one a handful of places open for early morning coffee in Subiaco. It is a casual and relaxed place, it also does not come with the price tags and snobby stigma of some places in Subiaco. I thought I would try the Macaroons ($3.00) and opted for the peanut butter one and yum it was.

This morning we woke up before dawn to attend the service for Anzac Day held every year at Kings Park. I think it is important to take some time out from our daily lives to think of and remember the men and women that went to war. I listened to the Last Post and that is when a chill ran through my body.
The kookaburra’s were awake and laughing as we walked the gum tree lined street to the memorial. The sunrise over the city was stunning and well worth the early morning awakening and afterwards we went back to bed for a few hours. (more…)

Seeing the Mer de Glace at Montenvers was a pleasant relaxing change from all the skiing and spending time in the clouds. Mer de Glace is an eight mile glacier that swirls around the mountains in Chamonix and as our photos will tell you by visiting Montenvers you are very close to those big mountains that watch over the glacier.

A few doors down from The Little Pantry is The Suite, a small cafe and bar in the Subiaco/Shenton Park area. The Suite reminds me of a cafe in Berlin that we adored so much – it’s small, dark, cosy and relaxed. It felt like a place to escape into conversation.
We ordered the unusual lemon scone to share with our coffee and it was flavorsome with the butter. The coffee was superb and worth noting is the creme of the cappuccino, perfect o.
The Suite offers it all to its patrons – Breakfast, lunch, dinner and drinks. I may have to come back and try the trio of bush sausages, buffalo, crocodile and kangaroo.

Happily posing in front of the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin.
I really enjoyed that morning walking along the boulevard Unter den Linden to the gate. The atmosphere at the gate is lively and energetic. There were street actors running around and two handsome young men posing as soldiers had a trail of girls wanting photos with them. There was also a funny 6 person bicycle with giggling people doing circles around us.
It was beautiful during the day and at night.

Spring Espresso has changed a bit since my last blog post. The coffee shop looks completely different and a new set of staff serve just as good coffee as before.
I have always loved the atmosphere at Spring Espresso and it is at its best in the morning on the weekends. It is packed, there are people buzzing around – i love it! The staff seem to handle the crowd really well and our coffees came out in no time. There is plenty of seating at Spring to enjoy the streetscape.
Spring is an early morning coffee place, opening around 6.30am. Light breakfast is on the menu along with some small cakes and snacks. It is located in the Crossways Shopping Centre which has the best grocery shopping store in Subie – Farmer Jacks.

One of the best things about old suburbs like Subiaco is the old trees that have survived urbanization.
