Perth
Anche se siamo rimasti in Perth solo per 4 giorni, ci e’ piaciuta tanto.
Ci sono un sacco di spazi verdi, parchi, il centro e’ stupendo e le costruzioni sono diverse rispetto alle altre citta’. Un giorno siamo stati in una via che sembrava uscita dal medioevo, molto stretta, con bancarelle molto vicine fra loro e palazzi che mi ricordavano l’europa.
Even if we stayed in Perth only for 4 days, we liked it a lot.
There are a lot of green areas, parks, the city center is amazing and the buildings are different from the other australian cities. One day we have been in a street that seemed to belong to middle age, a very narrow one, with shops really close to eachother and buildings that reminded me europe.
Un giorno, mentre stavamo camminando per la strada, abbiamo visto dei canguri in lontananza con un sacco di persone e bambini attorno a loro. Le statue sono fatto cosi bene che da lontano sembrano reali.
One day, while we were walking in the street, we saw some kangaroos far away with a lot of people and kids around them. The statues have been so well made that from a long distance they seem to be real.
I voli in australia sono abbastanza costosi, ma se prenotate mesi prima i prezzi possono essere davvero bassi. Il mio consiglio e’ di pianificare bene il viaggio, prenotare tutto prima senza lasciare nulla al caso, perche’ se vi sucedera’ come noi che abbiamo cercato un ostello a Perth solo il giorno prima di arrivare in citta’, probabilmente finirete in un ostello sporco, mal gestito, dove girano i topi durante la notte e dove i servizi sono scadenti, perche’ tutti gli altri saranno gia’ occupati.
The flights in australia are quite expensive, but if you book months earlier the prices might be really cheap. My advice is to plan in the best way you’re able to your travel, to book all before leaving nothing to the case, because otherwise something could happen to you, like it did to us, that we had looked for a hostel in Perth the day before we arrived, and we ended in a bad hostel, dirty, bad organised, where rats were crawling on the ground during the night and the service were the worst I ever met, because the good hostels were already taken.
Lasciato Perth, ci siamo spostati ad Albany e poi di nuovo ad Adelaide, dove siamo rimasti un giorno per poi prendere un pullman ( 50 $, circa tre ore ) per Kingston, diretti all’ostello “Kingston on Murray” .
Once we left Perth, we moved to Albany and then back to Adelaide, where we stayed for one day just to take the day after a pullman ( 50 $, about 3 hours ) headed to Kingston, to “Kingston on Murray” hostel .
Adelaide
Yesterday we left Melbourne for Adelaide,a cheap flight with Jetstar,1 hour and 10 minutes and here we are.We actually are at Backpack Oz hostel,27 dollars by night and the wireless,breakfast and bicycles free all the days.Today thanks to all this kindness we have gone from Adelaide city to the seaside with two bikes,something like 30-35 km.
Ieri abbiamo lasciato Melbourne per Adelaide,un volo economico con Jetstar,1 ora e 10 minuti e eccoci qui.Per ora siamo all’ostello Backpack Oz,27 dollari a notte con internet wireless,colazione e biciclette gratis tutti i giorni.Oggi grazie a tutta questa gentilezza siamo andati da Adelaide centro fino alla spiaggia con due biciclette,qualcosa come 30-35 km.
Even if neither Lonely Planet seems to know what there is to have fun in Adelaide,is a beautiful city,really relaxing,nothing compared to the rush there is in Melbourne or Sydney.
Anche se nemmeno il Lonely Planet sembra sapere cosa ci sia per divertirsi ad Adelaide,e’ una città’ stupenda,veramente rilassante,niente a confronto con la fretta che hanno a Melbourne o a Sydney.
Funny game indeed,it worthed one photo!
Un gioco davvero divertente,valeva una foto!
This is still the inner city,the path towards the beach was much more far.
Questo e’ ancora il centro città’,la strada verso la spiaggia era molto più’ lontana.
Today was sunny,and this huge park along the river was amazing.
Oggi c’era il sole,e questo enorme parco accanto al fiume era stupendo.
The river was crowed of animals,birds and most of all black swans,they are really everywhere here.
Il fiume era affollato di animali,uccelli e soprattutto cigni neri,sono davvero dappertutto qui.
Too little,but fast and smooth,useful to backstab a black swan.It’s not racism,the white ones were missing.
Troppo piccolo,ma veloce e silenzioso,utile per attaccare alle spalle un cigno nero.Non e’ razzismo,i cigni bianchi non c’erano.
At the end of the park there was a dam with a little bridge,but given that we had been told to follow the river to get to the seaside (…)
we went on on the path.
Alla fine del parco c’era una diga con un piccolo ponte,ma dato che ci era stato detto di seguire il fiume per arrivare alla spiaggia,
abbiamo proseguito per il pensiero.
If you veto too close,he gets really cranky,but it worthed the shots.
Se ti avvicini troppo si arrabbia davvero,ma gli scatti ne valevano la pena.
During the ride,we started to hear a really annoying noise.The more we got closer,the more we started to figure out what was that,
the most annoying bird in Oz.Cockatoo.Full trees.
Durante la strada,abbiamo iniziato a sentire un rumore davvero fastidioso.Piu’ ci avvicinavamo,
più’ ci rendevamo conto di cosa fosse,l’uccello più’ fastidioso d’Australia.Cacatua.Alberi pieni.
After one hour on the bike at last we got to the seaside!
Given that we were starving,we stopped in the first place there was to eat something.
We both ordered coconut prawns,16 dollars of pleasure,but I have tasted no coconut…
Dato che stavamo morendo di fame,ci siamo fermati nel primo posto che abbiamo trovato.
Abbiamo ordinato entrambi gamberi al cocco,16 dollari di piacere,ma non ho sentito il sapore di nessun cocco.
That was the view from the balcony.
Questa era la vista dal balcone.
Adelaide is a really good city,really relaxing,but there’s not much to see,even Lonely Planet doesn’t know what to suggest.
If you like night life,parties,surf and big festival all over the city,don’t come here.
It’s more relaxing,there’s inner peace here,nothing like Melbourne or Sydney,here something that we liked in the city centre.
Adelaide e’ una bella città’,veramente rilassante,ma non c’e’ molto da vedere,anche il Lonely Planet non sa cosa dire.
Se vi piace la vita notturna,grandi feste,surf e grandi festival per tutta la città’,non venite qui.
E’ molto più’ rilassante,e’ la pace interiore,nulla a che vedere con Melbourne o Sydney,ecco alcune cose che ci hanno colpito nel centro città’.
The pigeons is watching,Hitchcock docet.
I piccioni stanno guardando,Hitchcock insegna.
Kookaburra
The Australian animal I love more
is not the kangaroo,
or the koala,
how banaal it would be!
It’s a little funny bird,
that laughs every time he tweet!
You can hear him from far far away!
Today I have been so lucky to meet one from so close!
He first noticed us,then we did!
We took some pieces of meet to bring him closer,
but he didn’t trust us at all!
Here is cleaning is beak,a lot funny,
most of all when he beated it several times on the brunch!
But today was windy,and the meat’s smell was too attractive!
Once he decided,he flew toward us in a rush,
taking all he was able to take!
He liked and he came twice in few minutes,grabbing with his bech and his claws
Then,once sated,he has flown away
Hyde Park Sydney
Today I turned into a kid
Today we have been in Hyde Park,
a quite big park really close to our hostel.
I have got so close to a kind of animal never seen before,
here it is
once they smell something to eat the all come in a rush
All the Ibis came close to me
seeing that I had a lot of bread!
The temptation was too much,
so I grabbed his beak for some seconds!
but then he stopped trusting me…
smaller birds are always hungry,
cause ibis and bigger animals do bullies
and always steal them food!
never seen that bird before.
Australia is a world apart!
stay tuned
Opera House incoming
Botanic Park
Animals like this are everywhere in parks,the come close to people looking for something to eat!
Sydney is another world,there are animals that exist only here
and I behave like a kid every time!
Standing down without doing a breath made this bird be a bit faithful of me,
it came close one feet to me
that little bird fell out from a tree and it was loudly calling someone
Among all the trees are plenty of these,so the park looks like a seaside
it reminds me too much miami!
Greetings from Botanic garden
Evergrades
The Everglades have been an invaluable experience,
even if the hovercraft ride lasted only half an hour!
the crocodiles swam quietly a few feet from us,
despite that many people put their hands in the water to spray them!
the driver made a whistle and in an instant a bird has fallen down from the sky to lean on his arm
that’s a bow or he is putting on a pose for the photo?
a small show with a poor crocodile youngling
See you later alligator!
In a while crocodile!
Washington Zoo
We did the trip from New York to Washington by train,four hours for 150 dollars,not so cheap after all.Anyway,once we reached the hotel and we left all the bags,we discovered that in the middle of Washington there was a big zoo,free entry moreover,so we immediately directed over there!
The toucan is one of the animals that I love the most, is extremely curious and has a beak out of proportion to the body
This peacock was walking a few centimeters from us indifferent
the eyes of this bird are wonderful
every time we moved in front of his cage, he bent his neck curious about us
Central Park Zoo
the little mouse came out of his den believing that we had to throw something to eat
Every time that I was aiming the camera at her, the seal realized it and began posing
