USS Rushmore in Manado

A coastal city in northern Sulawesi, famous with its Bunaken marine park

Somehow, when I took this photo, recalled earlier on the USS George Washington were present in the waters of the city of Manado in 2009.

This time the USS Rushmore CDR stop in at the Bay of Manado, Indonesia, carrying 35 officers, 356 sailors and 405 marines, and the waters around the island of Sulawesi is considered the most secure and comfortable, before continuing the voyage to the Philippines, Tuesday.


And, the surrounding area is attractive for sailors, rafting in Timbukar, diving in Bunaken, even spicy culinary becomes the main attraction.

For me, actually just wanted to walk on the ferry, going up anywhere, although I know there are some destinations, such as Manly, Darling Harbour, Parramatta.


This is the best chance of taking photos around the Opera House, just to satisfy my curiosity, as a friend said yesterday.

First day of Winter in Melbourne

The atmosphere is different at the beginning of June in Australia

The season continues to change in a country of four seasons, a friend upload pictures on a social media, a few days ago, appealing to describe the atmosphere at the beginning of June.

Winter has arrived, and prepared against the cold, as he said, "Not a good sign with umbrellas were out and the temperature won't reached more than 12 C for the whole week."


However, this is an interesting moment to visit, a trip to down under, so the country is called.

Relax on the river bank of the Limmat

The other side of a city in Switzerland

This city always makes me jealous, on the edge of the river, in fact we could lay relaxed in the small town field. Fairly quiet and spatial scale familiar to local residents, not a great pitch.

Also sleeping in the edge of Limmat River, under the lime tree (not the orange tree) that its flower can be made into a delicious tea.


I was tempted to eat the seeds, flowers feels slightly sweet, slightly aromatic.
