Dark Chocolate Gelato and the Shop Doors of Bologna, Italy
by Krista | Mar 11, 2012 | Bootstrap Monday
As much as I love the gorgeous old buildings and courtyards of Bologna, I also find great delight in the little unimportant details that make this city so interesting. Like the community bulletin board plastered with all sorts of notices for concerts and films and...
A Foggy Morn in Queensland and Triple Garlic Bread
by Krista | Mar 9, 2012 | Fabulous Friday
It is just starting to feel a bit like Autumn in my part of Australia with chilly nights and mornings and gorgeously warm and sunny days. I absolutely love waking up early to foggy scenes like this. No matter how tired I am I can't tear myself away from my bedroom...
A Bungalow by the Sea, Nguna Island, Vanuatu
by Krista | Mar 8, 2012 | Plucky Thursday
After my exhilarating boat ride from Elate Island to Nguna Island in Vanuatu, I trudge my dog-tired, roasting hot self up off the beach and into the cooler shade of the dirt-packed main road of Nguna. The walk from the beach to the Vat-Vaka Bungalows is not far, maybe...
By Plane, Car, Boat and Foot: Getting to Nguna Island, Vanuatu
by Krista | Mar 6, 2012 | Compatriot Wednesday
I arrive in Port Vila, Vanuatu mid-afternoon, sweltering hot but in good spirits after a grand ol' visit with my seatmate, a jolly Aussie bloke from Bundaberg. Dripping from the heat I beam at my host, Yoan, so glad he's there to meet me and help me navigate my way to...
A Crazy Month of Little Adventures
by Krista | Mar 1, 2012 | Fabulous Friday
Living in several different countries makes for a rather topsy-turvy life where visas are concerned. This month is a particularly madcap one as two visa requirements for two different countries came up at the same time. This weekend I fly to islands of Vanuatu...
Exploring the Brisbane Riverfront
by Krista | Feb 27, 2012 | Gulliver Tuesday
When my friend Ann asked if I'd like to come along for a drive to Brisbane one fine, sunny day, I was thrilled. Drives with Ann are never a Point A to Point B affair. Not a chance! They are delectable meanderings along the prettiest routes she can think of, punctuated...
Paris in the Fall and Maple Peach Crisp
by Krista | Feb 27, 2012 | Bootstrap Monday
After day upon day of dark skies, pouring rain and wild winds, it's felt like autumn here in Australia instead of summer. And to be honest, I don't mind one bit. I realized the other day that I've been living in perpetual summer since June 2011, and as lovely as...
Pizza, Fireworks and a Sunset on the island of Gozo, Malta
by Krista | Feb 22, 2012 | Plucky Thursday
Summer evenings on the island of Gozo in Malta are exquisitely beautiful. While the days are so piping hot you want to find a shady nook and not budge, as the sun goes down the air cools and lovely breezes blow in off the water. On such nights there is nothing better...
An Autumn Stroll through the Gardens of Versailles
by Krista | Feb 20, 2012 | Compatriot Wednesday
Good afternoon, luvs! I'm enjoying a wonderfully cozy day at home as one tropical storm after another blows through in a whirl of wind and raindrops. As I listen to the storm rage I'm watching British murder mysteries and editing photos from a long ago trip to...
