https://www.mymapblog.com//rss/katrin_stefan The lasts posts from user katrin_stefan en-us we are savely back in Graz after a journey that lasted 2 days from Hong Kong. Thank god! Graz welcomed us with summerly weather, featuring 28 degrees!
We are still a little bit jetlaged, but we feel extremly well - the last 3 months have been truely amazing and have left us very fullfilled and content. All the stunning landscapes, special animals and great tours have given us memories for a lifetime. We hope we can keep the relaxed and happy feeling for as long as possible, maybe forever...

Thanks to each of you for contributing to the blog with your lovely messages - it was very rewarding for us to see how many of you were interested and participated actively in our journey. Thanks so much!!

Please remember you are all very welcome to come to Graz if you feel like escaping. It would be a pleasure to take you round!

Katrin & Stefan]]> http://www.mymapblog.com/katrin_stefan/30_04_10/We_are_back_in_Graz!/ http://www.mymapblog.com/katrin_stefan/30_04_10/We_are_back_in_Graz!/ Walled City Garden are very spectacular in the middle of all the high rise buildings. Hong Kong is also the city of big contrasts. Very neat streets next to very dirty ones. And some of the markets are just too much for our European noses - Marrakech markets are peanuts compared to the Chinese! Eeek!
In the evening we went up to the Victoria Peakto see the city from above. Very impressive by night!

Only god knows for what kind of food or medicine they need those poor creatures for! Haha!]]> http://www.mymapblog.com/katrin_stefan/24_04_10/First_day_in_Hong_Kong/ http://www.mymapblog.com/katrin_stefan/24_04_10/First_day_in_Hong_Kong/ http://www.mymapblog.com/katrin_stefan/22_04_10/Off_to_Hong_Kong!/ http://www.mymapblog.com/katrin_stefan/22_04_10/Off_to_Hong_Kong!/ There are huge termite mounds everywhere in the national park. Unbelievable how those tiny creatures can build such an impressive mountain made out of dirt, spit and poo! And it's rock hard. They told us that if you ran into it with a car, the car would be damaged!]]> http://www.mymapblog.com/katrin_stefan/21_04_10/More_swimming!/ http://www.mymapblog.com/katrin_stefan/21_04_10/More_swimming!/ Kakadu National Park has so many waterfalls you can swim in and we swam in every one we came across! The heat was enormous so we were happy to take every possible opportunity to cool down.
We loved it there!]]> http://www.mymapblog.com/katrin_stefan/19_04_10/On_tour_again!/ http://www.mymapblog.com/katrin_stefan/19_04_10/On_tour_again!/ We had a very refreshing swim in the waters at Mossman Gorge.
Also we headed up to Cape Tribulation beach.]]> http://www.mymapblog.com/katrin_stefan/13_04_10/Daintree_Rainforest_and_Cape_Tribulation_Beach/ http://www.mymapblog.com/katrin_stefan/13_04_10/Daintree_Rainforest_and_Cape_Tribulation_Beach/
SNORKELING UPDATE!
On Friday (16 April) we went out to the reef again for some snorkeling. This time we went to Saxon Reef and Hastings Reef. Fantastic!
And we saw a reef shark, who was completely uninterested in us!
Have a look at the fantastic photos we have taken on our second trip!]]> http://www.mymapblog.com/katrin_stefan/12_04_10/UPDATE!_Snorkeling_and_Diving/ http://www.mymapblog.com/katrin_stefan/12_04_10/UPDATE!_Snorkeling_and_Diving/ http://www.mymapblog.com/katrin_stefan/10_04_10/Gateway_to_the_Rainforest_and_the_Reef/ http://www.mymapblog.com/katrin_stefan/10_04_10/Gateway_to_the_Rainforest_and_the_Reef/ http://www.mymapblog.com/katrin_stefan/09_04_10/Scooter_heaven!/ http://www.mymapblog.com/katrin_stefan/09_04_10/Scooter_heaven!/ http://www.mymapblog.com/katrin_stefan/07_04_10/Great_sandy_beaches%2C_but_jellyfish!/ http://www.mymapblog.com/katrin_stefan/07_04_10/Great_sandy_beaches%2C_but_jellyfish!/ On the other day we did a trip to the outer reef at Great Barrier Reef to do a full day of snorkeling. Very impressive! As we have no underwater camera, we can't share those fantastic fish and corals we have seen. This time we have seen loads of fish and very big fish! We couldn't get enough snorkeling and we will do more once we get to Cairns!
The other special happening was the daily visit of the Kakadus on our balcony, who joined us for breakfast. They neatly lined up on the handrail waiting for their turn! Haha! And on daydream island we have encountered a rather nosy kangaroo, who wanted all our food and did not refrain from sitting next to us on the sun loungers! We had troubles gettting rid of it!]]> http://www.mymapblog.com/katrin_stefan/05_04_10/Whitehaven_Beach_and_Great_Barrier_Reef/ http://www.mymapblog.com/katrin_stefan/05_04_10/Whitehaven_Beach_and_Great_Barrier_Reef/ We stayed at Mooloolaba at the sunshine coast enjoying the harbour and the sea. Unfortunately I (Katrin) was ill, but we had such a nice apartment, where I recovered quickly.]]> http://www.mymapblog.com/katrin_stefan/01_04_10/Beaches%2C_Big_Pinapple_and_Animals!/ http://www.mymapblog.com/katrin_stefan/01_04_10/Beaches%2C_Big_Pinapple_and_Animals!/ Coming back to the 100km long beach. 4WD vehicles share the beach with little planes as well. With one of those planes we did a little scenic flight over the island and the water and we saw those sharks from the air!!]]> http://www.mymapblog.com/katrin_stefan/30_03_10/Biggest_sand_island_in_the_world/ http://www.mymapblog.com/katrin_stefan/30_03_10/Biggest_sand_island_in_the_world/ If you get the chance to go to Fiji, definitely do it! It's an unique experience. Not only the stunning beaches, but also the hospitality of the Fijians and their big smiles.]]> http://www.mymapblog.com/katrin_stefan/23_03_10/Welcome_to_Paradise!/ http://www.mymapblog.com/katrin_stefan/23_03_10/Welcome_to_Paradise!/ http://www.mymapblog.com/katrin_stefan/20_03_10/Fiji_Islands/ http://www.mymapblog.com/katrin_stefan/20_03_10/Fiji_Islands/
