Beautiful Bondi beach @ Sydney, Australia

Bondi is very well known that I think some people will be disappointed when they discover it is 'just a beach'. It's a suburban beach. There are nicer beaches elsewhere but this beach is close to Sydney city and you can hear the strong waves sound which can be quite impressive. It's a trendy place which might not be apparent to some visitors. Try to relax and people watch. The best thing is the beach having free wifi access. You can relax surfing the net which enjoying the peacefulness of waves and breezy wind. Since I am not a beach person, but I find it quite a relaxing place! At the edge of Bondi beach, you will pass by & be amazed on some of great architectural houses in Bondi area.

Nice view!

Turnagain Arm Drive of Cook Inlet @ Alaska

During my visit to Alaska, I took the 3 day daily tour which pass by this scenic road drive. Everyday, I can see that the view surrounding the Turnagain Arm drive is different due to weather. In all weather, regardless whether it's rainy or sunny, you will get great view. During rainy day, you will see the beautiful clouds covering the top of the mountain. The road to this scenic view of Turnagain Arm is via Seward highway which link Anchorage to Gridwood in the south of Anchorage. By going south, we will pass by the Chugach mountains. The Cook Inlet is a huge body of water estimated to be four miles wide and was named after Captain James Cook who discovered it. When the tide is out, mudflats can be seen. Its dangerous to walk on mudflats as its far more dangerous than quicksand. Many signboards warning the visitors not to walk on the mudflats but there are still casualties yearly. The Turnagain Arm drive is about 80 kilometres along the Seward highway.

There is rail track beside the Turnagain Arm scenic drive. I am not able to take railway trip as it ended earlier. The last railway trip was 14 Sep 2014.

Autumn is coming. Autumn foliage in Alaska is amazing as well.

Millennium Bridge @ London

London's Millennium Bridge is the first pedestrian river crossing over the Thames in central London. It is a 325m steel bridge linking the City of London at St. Paul's Cathedral with the Tate Modern Gallery at Bankside.
