A new friend and an old friend – Yallingup lagoon

Yesterday, we had another memorable swim in the lagoon. As I am currently in recuperation mode, swimming is more about mental health and not so much about fitness. That means if we see something cool, we need not feel guilty about stopping to watch it. Consequently, my GPS swim tracker recorded a very interesting route. […]

The Ocean Pools of Sydney – Part 1: Tamarama to Coogee

The Travel Bees are currently on a short break that has been long in the making. My Yallingup lagoon swimming buddy and I decided some time ago, a trip to Sydney to swim in the ocean pools would be an epic way to cement our swimming camaraderie.

Osaka: the food capital of Japan

From the get go Osaka felt different to Tokyo. It might just be the places we visited, but Tokyo seemed more orderly. For example; check out this photo of commuters lining up to get on the subway.

It’s a secret: Yallingup Lagoon – Western Australia

Yallingup lagoon is my happy place. Each week I make a thirty minute drive to meet my friend here for a swim. Whether in a wetsuit, in bathers and once….. in our underwear (sshhh!), it doesn’t matter what the weather is doing, we do it anyway. Usually we try and do four laps of our […]
