West Oahu has popular resorts like Disney Aulani in Ko Olina resort area. Also cities on west Oahu are on fast expansion too. However, only Highway 1 connects to Honolulu. East-bound traffic to Honolulu is terrible during morning peak hours, Avoid hours before 9:00 AM when driving to that direction. If you are going North […]
Disney Aulani locates on Ko Olina Resort area of Ewa Plain in the very west end Oahu. Although a secluded retreat heaven, west Oahu used to be a barren place without much business activities. In the last decade, a lot of new developments pop up around Kapolei not far from Ewa Plain, both residential and […]
This Hawaii trip is my second visit and my first has been 14 years ago fresh out from school. First time to Hawaii, I was only able to tour Oahu. As a typical backpacker, my first Hawaii trip was all around taking buses, riding bikes, eating fast food, and cramping into a studio apartment with others. […]
In Morris County NJ Info Here 10/17/2015 Another beautiful day of hiking in Mendham NJ. We took the Dismal Harmony Natural area hike from E Main St. We got lost a bit while looking for the Legend rock (for reference, take the white trail then yellow, we stayed on the white which led us to […]
我們的最後一天郵輪回Venice，清晨時郵輪緩緩的駛進，划過St. Mark’s Square，進入西岸的港口，沿途欣賞寧靜的Venice，跟白天的Venice是大大的不同。 下船後我們回St. Mark’s Square，恰巧碰到一年一度的San Marco Day，城裡掛滿了旗幟，四處都有活動和競賽，我們慢慢走路逛回Piazzale Roma車站，體驗威尼斯小街裡的各式商店跟擁擠的人潮。旅程就在這車站畫下一個完美的句點。
郵輪到Zadar，可惜沒法停靠城內的港口，因為船位跟交通的壅擠，Zadar在城外約20分鐘車程處新建了一個港口，2015剛啟用，沒法步行進城內是美中不足之處。我們今天還是戶外行程為主，所以去了國家公園。克羅埃西亞有許多著名的國家公園，Zadar鄰近Krka, Kornai, 和Paklenica，我們選擇Krka。先搭船進去，步行非常容易，遊覽車再從另一頭接我們，很輕鬆。
Day 14: cruising into Adriatic Sea Day 15: 郵輪今天抵達Montenegro的Kotor，一早約6:00開始進入陸地上升後的類峽灣地形，是第一個賣點。Kotor位於峽灣底，四周高山環抱，舊城倚山而建，是第二賣點。從Kotor到Lovcen National Park的路途險峻風景雄偉，是第三大賣點。這種好地方絕對不可以錯過。舊城內部古色古香，隨意逛逛購物也很有趣，如果有時間跟腳力，可挑戰一千多階的城牆步道，沿山壁而上，到頂有美景獎賞。
郵輪此站停靠Sicily島上Messina，我們並沒有時間停留市內，直接搭遊覽車去參觀歐洲最高活火山Etna跟小城Taormina。Enta是歐洲最高的活火山，海拔高達3329公尺，山下穿短袖，山上可得穿夾克，山頂有許多火山口噴發頻繁，滿是火山岩，都四月底了雪都還沒完全融化。
接下來7天都是郵輪的行程，從羅馬(Rome/Roma)上威尼斯(Venice/Venezia)下，停Naples, 西西里(Sicily)島Messina，蒙特內哥羅(Montenegro) Kotor, 克羅埃西亞(Croatia) Zadar。
