Favourite Airbnb

Hello guys, John here bringing you another blog in Australia but will be the last, as usual I am way behind xD. But we only stayed 2 weeks in Australia so I think these two blogs will suffice. Let's get on with it shall we? As you could probably tell by the title this blog will be about the places we have gone to out of Sydney, and to mention the lovely people we've met at our airbnbs. The first placed we stayed at was in this small town in Australia and the Airbnb was owned by this women named Izabel, she was an elderly women probably in her 60's and we got to stay in her lovely lower area of her house, we ate dinner with her and did a bunch of stuff you don't really do with a stranger, it was nice to have some almost canadien civilization after 5 months. We did a lot of nearby things around the town like visit the genolan caves which are the biggest caves in the world and do some waterfall excavations. But out of the three Airbnb that I will mention in this blog... I rank this Airbnb a 8/10. Moving on to the next one is an Airbnb situated in a bigger town known as kangaroo valley, where we stayed at a modern looking Airbnb own by 'unknown', I found this Airbnb not to be a big favourite as mom had mention that this is a 'high crime' neiborhood which set me and dad off quite a lot. A bit of an unclean place it felt like, it mad us get out of the house quite a bit as we got to go visit the Guinus world record for the whitest beach and also know as the squeaky beach which as you could have guessed, squeaks when to take a step. Overall I rate this Airbnb a 4/10. Moving on to the final Airbnb, and may I say the greatest Airbnb of this entire trip by far my cosiest place at heart. The one, the only, Airbnb owned by 'unknown' (Forgot). Placed on an alpaca farm is the cosiest most warming and most comforting place in mind, with everything you could possibly ever need and much much much more just to make you feel like a king that's too luxurious. I absolutely loved this place even though the alpacas didint love Me, the dog and cat did, cat named smokey and the dog the is mor ice :D. I can't possibly describe every little thing but they did have a massage chair :D. But until next time, this has been John and is officially signing out.

Australian Sydney

Hello guys, John here bringing you the few blogs on Australia, boy do I have some most excellent  things to say about this country in addition to many tales of our activities during these two weeks. 

Our adventure to this terribly dangerous wasteland started in Sydney. We arrive in this amazing place and I quickly noticed all the tech shops like the Apple Store and such and I'm like... This is gonna be gooooooooooooooooood! 

After flying the red eye, that means through the night, from Bally to Sydney, it was great to bad welcome by our air BnB host.  Our appartment was right downtown and was a big swank appartment with everything that we would ever need if we wanted to live in Sydney, at least for me.  We were all pooped out after the flight so after checking out the roof top pool and view of the harbour we all just crashed with exhaustion.  Not to worry as I kept an eye open as always in case of burglars trying to shank us, at least for an hour and then I was gone for the day zzzzz. 

We got up the next morning wide awake and ready for a new day :D. At first I wanted to have a little 'bro time' with dad to check out the stores around us to test the new iPhone 6s with its 3D Touch. Also the oculus rift with its virtual reality video games.  I should probably just get on to another subject that's actually interesting to you people as I am running out of page and the blog is getting a bit too long. 

We did a lot of walking around the shops in Sydney but we also visited to big attractions. For instance, the Sydney opera house situated right next to the Sydney harbour. It was quite amazing with its bizzar but charming architecture and its name, there was nice seating as far as I could see through the window. We walked around to see nothing but beauty, which was nice except it didint quite appeal my Pterodactyl senses... The next big attraction was the amazing Sydney Zoo which is we accessed via a ferry and had amazing views of The harbour.  The gondola took us from the boat to the zoo entrance and overlooked the entire park.  I kept thinking of Jurassic World however. 

We spent a full day st the view visiting all the local bizarre creatures such as platypuses, koalas, kangaroos, wallabies however I am sadly running out of page.  

I should just give you the highlights and end it there, but trust me when I say that there is some crazy stuff that happened in this here zoo. These are all randomly placed in order so please hold your anger/rage... 

The seal show was quite fascinating as the comedy that the seals provided us was rather creepy as the trainers said themselves, but I'll give you one seal that really amused me 'Edgar', they kept reminding us that there was something different about him and asked us if we could notice, we all couldn't figure it out and he started making his seal noises, and then the trainer said that he had an American accent xD. The trainer also said you can notice something is different about him than the other seals as he is 'the one' with the creepy smile, and he had the funniest expression. That about wraps it all up in a pita bread for Sydney. But until next time, this has been John and is officially signing out. You probably though I was gonna say more for the zoo thing in Sydney, no no no... Just that one will do for you 😈.

Highlights of Bali (Part 2)

Hello guys, John here bringing you the second blog of the highlights of Bali and I realized that I had forgotten some really awesome days and moments in Bali, There will be one, two or three highlights only but don't worry, they are the big ones and I hope you enjoy. 

First highlight is the monkey forest, if you ever follow my mothers Facebook or her social media you probably already know about this place, well for those who don't know it a forest filled with monkeys, who attack you if you have food... Did I mention there are no cages,  it literally is a hands-on experience... Get it? HANDS ON XD, monkeys have opposable thumbs XD, good one John... Anyways I have a couple of crazy pictures but long story short... If you have food they attack, if you have no food they sit next to you, if you stay still you're their new jungle gym, so basically to avoid stuff like this, don't bother showing up cause they throw hats and your bags, search your pockets. 

Anyways moving into the next highlight, the Balinese bird park, and I know what your saying... There a lot of animals in this blog but don't worry because there is one more highlight after this. Anyways so while we were in this bird park you would probably expect to see a lot of birds... NO, but on the other hand you did get to see a lot of birds so yeeeeeah. We all really enjoyed ourselves here because the birds were so friendly, one of them would bend right over so that you could scratch the back of his neck and when he would slowly go back up with a straight gaze at you and his hair stand straight up... Talk about a geek right? Anyways I can go on for days about this amazing bird park but we're on a tight schedule here people! 

Last but not least for the highlights of Bali we shall talk about the amazing snorcheling, beautiful coral reefs and sea creatures to roam those vast seas and to enlighten your eyes through the goggles.... Deep I know. My favourite sight underwater was this huge Stupa (temple) that was completely under water and inhabited by all sorts of sea creatures, I swam around there for 30 min gazing at that beautiful sight... Until I got spooked by the fact that my father saw a jellyfish in the distance (A Stupa is a smaller version of a Balinese temple). Well that wraps up everything for Bali and more room for Australia next time. This has been John and is officially signing out.

Highlights of Bali (Part 1)

Hello guys, John here bringing you only one blog of Bali and even though we've been in Indonesia for a month I think I should hurry up and get to the good stuff, but it's not all bad as I will be talking about all the highlights of Bali.  We not only stayed in Bali but went also to the Islandnof Java where we visited the temples of Borobudur and Prambanan as well as Yogyakarta and also travelled to Lombok and stayed on the very remote Gili Islands - Gili Air to be so specific.  

To start it off let me just say that I learned how to surf by the way, I mean not like a pro but I got to learn how to do it with the help of this company called Up 2 You surfing school.  Elizabeth and I signed up and we picked it up pretty quickly... But there was pain all around and that wasn't good :(.  Surf board rash is a real thing.  I pretty well did not have any fingertips left by the end of day three and had to take a break to recover!  Surfing was tough but fun as well the swell was huge at Legian beach were we had the lessons.

Next highlight might not be big to some of you guys but it's pretty small enough not to mess with your temper, I found 1$ Pokemon card packs all through Bali and I made some pretty cool profit of of them pulling 10 dollar cards from some of these packs, remember that I get to choose what goes into these highlights 😈. 

My next highlight is when I discovered this local chocolate company called Pod, basically it's now my favourite chocolate company as it produces the best chocolate in the world (My opinion).  Local to Bali and single source cocoa.  They combined interesting flavours and like green tea, ginger, cardamom, lemon grass, sea salt and it all tasted the absolute best.  I didn't find this chocolate everywhere in Indonesia but it was heaven when we did and I went all out on it, you gotta try some if your readings this... Real Indonesian cocoa bars :D, MMMMMMMMMH! 

My next highlight is a bit weird because it talks about the airport, the Balinese airport is so nice and I wanted to stay there all day even though it had nothing to do with the area itself, i don't know but I think it had something to do with the lack of order, civilization and technology but it was all good cause we went there 6 times :P! 

My final highlight as I am running out of time we had a really great time, Indonesia in general was amazing and beautiful when it comes to their culture and sense of humour, it's all good. I have to say that their food is really really good, they specialize on the chicken satay with peanut sauce, also I had the chicken cordon blue which has nothing to do with Bali... I was hungry okay 😭😜. But until next time where I think I will have another part of these highlights blogs of Bali because... I mean... We were there for a month and there isa lot more, but this has been John and is officially signing out! Just a to let you know these highlights are not in order there just the highlights that come up from the top of my head and then I right it down, it's a bit all over the place as the next part will be. 😝
