All the decorations are nearly down as Sydney marches into 2025, walking through @theqvb on my way to work is a beautiful way to start the day, especially as it's been soooooo hot and humidity, or raining lately, a bit of air-con helps!!!..#sydneyafterchristmas #qvbsydney #queenvictoriabuilding #queenvictoriabuildingsydney #shoppinginsydney #dailycommute #walktowork #streetsofsydney #seetheworldthroughmyeyes #sydneystyle #sydneylife #sydneystreets #sydneycbd

Having arrived in London really early, my hotel room wasn't ready, so I left my luggage there and went to the Victoria and Albert Museum to see the Naomi Campbell exhibition while I waited.

Corniglia is the middle village in Cinque Terre, the only village that doesn't have direct access to the sea. This is what has kept it as the lovliest and most authentic of the 5 villages. It has retained its character and hasn't sold out to tourism. Easy to get to on the train, then you either walk up a giant zig-zag staircase, or catch the shuttle bus up to the village. Or, if you are driving, Corniglia is the only village you can get to by road.#cinqueterreitaly #corniglia #cornigliacinqueterre #corniglia5terre #cinqueterrenationalpark #cinqueterrecoast #solotravelinitaly #solotravel #italytrip #seetheworldthroughmyeyes #traveltheworldwithme #madeinitaly #cornigliaitaly #solotrip #traveladdict #mediterranean #viewfromthetop #lifebythesea ##italianadventure

What is the most efficient way to get from Venice Marco Polo Airport into Venice? Alilaguna Water Bus,@alilaguna_official operate from the airport to several stops around Venice and along the Grand Canal, making it very easy for solo travellers to get yourself and your luggage to your hotel with a minimum of fuss. I stayed the lovely @rialtohotelvenice just near the Rialto Vaporetto stop, so very convenient.Click to link to my website in the bio to read bout my arrival in this watery wonder world.#venice #alilaguna #venicewaterbus #airporttransport #solotravel #solotravelinitaly #solotrip #neverstopexploring #madeinitaly #tripovertoitaly #traveltheworldwithme #italianarchitecture #italianadventure #italytravel #earlyspringinitaly #solotravel #venicelights #veniceitaly #venicewalks #venicelife #venicecanals #venicetrip

Martin Place Christmas tree in Sydney CBD, seems to be a slight change from the usual covered in red and green beach balls, this year I think there are less of them, and a few pink ones have been introduced!!

Monterosso al Mare is the only one of the five villages that are in the Cinque Terre National Park that has a beach. The village is in 2 sections separated by a rocky path where you can get great views of both areas.I caught the ferry all the way up to Monterosso from La Spezia, so I could see all the villages from the water first, then from here, I bought a 2 day Cinque Terre Pass at the station, this gives unlimited train travel, and the bus from Corniglia Station up to the village, very important!!!Day one was the ferry trip, then I wandered around Monterosso, I caught the train to the next village, Vernazza, then jumped back on the train to Manarola. Then caught the train back to La Spezia.Day two, I caught the train from La Spezia to Corniglia, then the shuttle bus up to the village. After exploring the village, I was back on the shuttle bus to the station and caught the train back to Riomaggiore, the last of the five villages to visit.#cinqueterreitaly #monterosso #monterossoalmare #monterossoalmarecinqueterre #cinqueterrenationalpark #cinqueterrecoast #cinqueterreitaly #cinqueterre #solotravel #italytrip #madeinitaly #traveladdict #travelinitaly #solotrip #solotravelinitaly #italianadventure #italianhistory #seeeverythingdoeverything #traveltheworldwithme #seetheworldthroughmyeyes #neverstopexploring
It was hot, then it got very humid, lots of cloud.....maybe rain later, but there was a nice breeze on the harbour.

Beautiful weather to walk around Cremorne Point....finally.....for weeks it has been too hot, too humid, too stormy, too windy, too just generally unpleasant - then today...Perfect, just right 🌞🌞😍!..#sydneyharbour #sydneyharbourbridge #sydneyoperhouse #sydneyharbourwalks #perfectday #seetheworldthroughmyeyes #boats #outonthewater

The next stop on my solo Italian adventure was La Spezia, I caught the train from Siena, one change along the way. That went well, I was a bit scared because there was only 6 minutes to change, but the train I was changing to came in on the other side of the platform I was on, perfect!! La Spezia was my base for exploring Cinque Terre and the surrounding area, I checked into @hotelfirenzelaspezia which was just near the station, and set off exploring the town and harbour...#laspezia #laspeziaharbourside #laspeziacentro #robertwagner #solotravel #italytrip #madeinitaly #traveladdict #travelinitaly #neverstopexporing #traveltheworldwithme #neverstoptravelling #solotravelinitaly #solotravel #seetheworldthroughmyeyes #seekandyoushallfind #seeeverythingdoeverything
All the wildlife came out to see the end of 2024, before their habitat gets taken over by human wildlife all looking for a fireworks watching spot for the big show at midnight on Sydney Harbour. Further around Cremorne Point the "No Alcohol" signs were all being put up, Porta loos were being put in place, home owners were putting up signs to ask people not to climb on the fences and garden walls - the price you pay to live in this beautiful area, one night of hell to start off every new year!!#cremornepoint #cremornepointwalk #seeeverythingdoeverything #sydneywildlife #sydneynorthshore #sydneystyle #sydneylife #sydneyaustralia #sydneylocal #sydneycoastalwalks #lizards #kookaburras #sydneybythesea #sydneyharbour #sydneyferries #boatsontheharbour

Some of the stations I became familiar with on my solo Italian adventure. Siena had the biggest step up from the platform to the train, but by the time I left Siena I was quite good at handling my luggage so it wasn't a problem, and Pisa was the easiest and my visit to Pisa was a day trip from La Spezia, without any luggage!! Although I did have to change trains in Pisa a few days later on my way back through Florence to Venice....easy 🤩!!For more info on the art of solo travel by train in Italy, click the link to my website in the bio..#traintravelinitaly #pisa #siena #Florence #laspezia #italybytrain #solotravel #solotravelinitaly #solotrip #neverstopexploring #madeinitaly #seetheworldthroughmyeyes #italytrip #italy #soloitalianadventure #solofemaletravel #solomidlifefemaletraveler #italiantrains #railwaystationsinitaly #traveltheworldworldwithme #traveladdict
Manarola is the 2nd village in Cinque Terre as you head north, beautiful clear blue water along the rocky coastline. The hills rise steeply up into the grape growing terraces 🥂.Very easy to get to by train, or ferry, or for the more energetic, along the hiking trails! I wanted to walk some of the trails, but decided against it as my knee sometimes has problems and I had already really put it to the test on this holiday climbing thousands of medieval steps, I didn't fancy get stuck alone out on one of the trails. I didn't see many/any other hikers in early spring, although it would have been ideal weather for it.#cinqueterreitaly #cinqueterrenationalpark #cinqueterre #solotravel #solotrip #solotravelinitaly #neverstopexploring #wineterraces #seetheworldthroughmyeyes #italianadventure #manarola #manarola5terre #manarolacinqueterre #manarolaitaly #cinqueterrecoast #seeeverythingdoeverything #madeinitaly #traveltheworldwithme #traveladdict #italyinearlyspring

All the classics of Florence, the Duomo, the bell tower, the view over the autumn coloured roof tops, Ponte Vecchio, Il Porcelllino, the Uffizi Gallery and sculptures in Loggia dei Lanzi. The legend is, if you rub the snout of Il Porcellino, you will return to Florence one day - it works!!💖 So I rubbed it again this visit - see you soon Florence 🥰! #florence #firenzeduomo #domesofflorence #loggiadeilanzi #loggiadeilanzifirenze #sculptures #solotravel #solotravelinitaly #solotrip #madeinitaly #neverstopexploring #traveltheworldwithme #italytrip #italianadventure #alianarchitecture #ilporcellino #pontevecchio #pontevecchiofirenze #traveladdict
On the morning commute the sky couldn't make up it's mind - all blue sky and fluffy white clouds in one direction, and very grey in the other.....this continued all day leading into the Australia Day long weekend...#morninginspiration #morningcommute #flowersinthestreets #walkinthepark #whiteflowers #pinkflowers #sydney #sydneystyle #northsydney #stleonardspark #stleonardsparknorthsydney #seetheworldthroughmyeyes

Up in Lerici Castle they ran film of the battles that happened in medieval times as the beautiful Italian coastline was invaded, I spent a bit of time exploring the Castle waiting for the rain to stop before continuing my walk around the bay, then catching the bus back to La Spezia.#lerici #lericicoast ##lericicastle #gulfofpoets #solotravel #solotravelinitaly #solotrip #madeinitaly #neverstopexploring #traveltheworldwithme #italytrip #seeeverythingdoeverything #seekandyoushallfind #medievalcastle #medievalitaly #oldbuildingsmakemehappy #historicbuildingsenrichourlives

I think this critter is a Water Dragon, apparently they live around Cremorne Point on Sydney Harbours North Shore. We just stared at each other for a while, then he ran off down into the bush towards the water...#waterdragon #sydneyweekend #sydneynorthshore #sydneylife #sydneyharbourwalks #sydneybythesea #sydneyharbourbridge #sydneyharbour #sydneyoperahouse #sydneywaterdragon #cremornepoint #cremornepointwalk #pinkflowers #blueskyandsunshine

My walk towards San Terenzo from Lerici continues, past this very rocky section of the bay, towards the next empty beach.....I know this beach would have been a hive of activity the day after I was here, it was much warmer and a beautul sunny day.....but I was off to Pisa that day...#santerenzo #santerenzobeach #santerenzochedelgolfoepiubelfiore #santerenzolerici #lerici #lericicoast #lericiitaly #lericioutdoor #gulfofpoets #italytrip #madeinitaly #traveladdict #laspezia #italianadventure #italytravel #earlyspringinitaly #emptybeach #seasidewalk #traveltheworldwithme #neverstopexploring #neverstoptravelling
On my way to the bus stop the other day, I noticed the row of trees on the main road are all this weird yellowish colour where the bark has peeled off, is this normal???

This appealed to me......in the Art Gallery of NSW, Sydney. In reality it is an enormous work, but everything I see it a different size, it looks like something else. ...#artgallery #nswartgallerysydney #nswartgallery #artoftheday #artlover #explorethecityyoulivein #seekandyoushallfind #seeeverythingdoeverything #seetheworldthroughmyeyes #traveltheworldworldwithme #sydney #sydneyaustralia #sydneylocal
Riomaggiore is the southern most of the 5 villages in the Cinque Terre National Park, if you are not hiking you can get there very quickly by train from La Spezia, or at a more leisurely pace on a ferry. It's best to go early as even in early April by 10am the crowds are taking over the village...#solotravel #solotravelinitaly #solotrip #neverstopexploring #madeinitaly #seetheworldthroughmyeyes #italytrip #riomaggioreitaly #riomaggioretunnel #riomaggiorecinqueterreitaly #riomaggiorecinqueterre #traveltheworldwithme #traveladdict #travelinitaly #italianadventure #travelbyboat
