Last weekend, we headed out from Darwin to Kakadu National Park for the weekend. Kakadu is Australia's largest national park,and is World Heritage Listed for both environmental and cultural significance. You could easily spend a week there if you take advantage of all the walking trails and spots of beauty, or much longer if you have an off-road vehicle to explore the more distant parts. We decided to see what we could see in our Hyundai in just three days. [more inside]

On Sunday, we went to what is probably the most beautiful 'rocky' beach on the South Wales coast: Monknash. It's almost completely comprised of round and oval gray stones (there are small areas of sand at low tide) and hemmed in by tall cliffs with beautiful exposed layers of rock. The way the waves pound the stony outcropping of rock is something to see. The walk through the forest is great, too: there's a ruined building of some sort and nice little brook. Sadly, this beach is best appreciated by very spry young people / adults. The approach has two large stone stiles to get over, so it is not suitable for prams, wheelchairs, or anyone who would have a problem physically climbing over them. The beach itself has no sand at all, and you must walk carefully. Avoid the mossy bits, as they are very slippery. Not suitable for surfing, IMO, unless you are very, very good. Warning. If you do fish around the headland, keep an eye on the tide! [more inside]

I went to Sofia as a side trip when I was living in Cluj-Napoca Romania in 1994. It was a whole different sort of Eastern Europe than I was used to. I went to a student conference and found a bowling alley. This is from an email I sent home after the trip. [more inside]
