Missing Innsbruck
I woke up this morning to rain on my window; reminding me of the intimate romance of the city of Innsbruck. Such a colourful, lively and inviting city. Nights at the ballet theatre with snow covered roads and lamp posts, being surrounded by mountains, walking two minutes to the ski slopes and catching the gondola up the mountain for a germknödel and cappuccino with a breaktaking view..

Getting in the mood for Summer with soft salty beach hair, freckles, luminous sunlight and the turquoise hues of the ocean.
Sending a few pictures from the tropical backdrop of Hamilton Island on the Great Barrier Reef. It is places like this that make me so proud to be Australian. One of the most beautiful places I have been to Australia so far, the Whitsunday Islands make me appreciate just how lucky I am to call this country home.
I love day dreaming on the beach, with the sand between my toes and the sun kissing my cheeks. With an array of vivid blues, yellows, pinks and oranges, I understand why Hamilton Island is one of the most admired holiday destinations in Australia.

Axamer Lizum
Today it was time to explore a new mountain! We can’t believe how many ski resorts are included on our Tyrollean ski pass. After stopping by Baguette (for ‘breakfast pizza’ and coffees), we were off to Axamer Lizum. With a variety of steep, long runs, Axamer Lizum is a skier’s haven. There was light snowfall throughout the day and a lot of powder off piste. We finished off with the toughest run of the day, which involved 1000 metres of moguls.
When we got back to Innsbruck, the sun came out, so we went for a wander through Aldstadt (Old Town) and Maria-Theresian Strasse before a late dinner at Stiftskeller.

Waking up in Innsbruck
This morning I woke up at sunrise to freshly brewed coffee and snow covered windowsills. As I crawled to the edge of my pillow, my surroundings took my breath away. The Austrian Alps majestically towered all around us.
We didn’t want to waste a second of daylight in this centuries old, magical city. We hastily put our snow gear on before venturing out, in order to maximise exploring time before skiing at Patcherkofel. We fell in love with the crisp, refreshing air and the leafless trees in the park. We admired the colourful buildings across from Old Town. We were fascinated by the way that the colourful buildings almost looked squished together. The grey sky simply highlighted their bright hues.

We almost skipped along the cobblestone streets, still in disbelief that this city would be our home for the next six months. It wasn’t long before the smell of fresh croissants and espressos drew us into the local bakery, Baguette.
