Great Barrier Reef

First time that I am in Thailand and I’d get to see what are they talking about when they say “raining season”, from 9 pm until 7 pm the day after, there was a non-stopping rain !!!!!!! I say – that is a looooooooooot of rain =D. But, don’t feel sorry for me, we still had a great time here, plenty of games, tropic fruits, movies and yeh Internet finally =0). So, here I can keep up with my tour update =0), and post some pictures as I promised.

Well, here is us – just before taking the Magic Reef cruise to the great barrier reef, I highly recommend about those guys, very professional, super kind and let us have wonderful time!!!

We took a helicopter flight above the reef to see its whole beauty =0) it is REALLY gorgeous!!!

Petting huge friendly fish =D

Out for some air

Wow it has been so long since I had the chance to write something down. Lots and lots of great experiences and many of such a good time we had throughout this past time. Since I last posted here, I never really got the chance to do as I was planning and to write some of our holiday funs down… but no need to feel sorry for me I was only busy doing some more of a great time =0). And anyway, since now it is super raining outside I will take this chance to start over from our first Aussie visit at the land of Victoria which was nice, especially the great opportunity we had to actually watch the sweet smallest penguin in the world coming out of the water and walking just a few cm from us =0) that was the sweetest thing ever!!!! If you happened to be around Phillip Island you must see these sweet little creatures!!!

From there, we took a flight to the very beautiful Tasmania.

I had such a great time there, it was such a nice surprise for b me to find out about this place. We rented a car there and drove all around the country. It was very beautiful (and frizzing cold) with lots of great fun time!!! I am having a new love now = Rain forests =D. Among all the beauty around, we had a huge fun getting to know all the wild life animals that they have there, such that we have never seen in person before or elsewhere in our side of the world.

Tsmania Devil ( he is not as evil as he looks like=0))

lovely Kuala

Sweet Possom who tried to steel our food

and, last but not least feeding the kengerus =0)

Where do I start???

Actually… I really don’t know!!!!

First I have to say that even though I am not around Israel I am having at this moment a group ceramics artist show.

It is in Bat Shlomo, so all you Israeli readers and friends I sure do hope that you gave my hearts a good visit.

The show is for only 4 female ceramic artists, each presenting 5 works, so it should be very nice!!!! I terribly wish I could have been there as well!!!!!!!

And as for us here,

We had such a wonderful peaceful time in Australia, we enjoyed every minute of it!!!

The isolation from the “media” such as phones and internet while being at the rainforest did as so well

That now it feels so weird getting it back=0).

We are at Thailand right now and will stay here until the end of July. I love the land of Thai, it is a beautiful

Place and people here are very nice, but since my blog needs serious update I will start with beautiful Australia and our holiday over there.

So, as long as I have an internet connection I can update here =0)

Miss you all very much!!!

Lots of love

Note

Just take a note,
Very important one!!! When you go on an international flight, always make sure you flight directly with no (I repeat NO) stops on the way it is such a hassle!!!
But, eventually we made it, and now we are at the very far away land of Australia =0)

Ooh heaven is a place on earth

And I think it comes as the Venetian Hotel and Park in Macau =0)

Oh my, what can I say.. we were there for 2 nights and it was unbelievable!! I didn’t expect any of this at all, so it was more than a great positive surprise for me.

(On the Fairy from Hong Kong to Macau)

The room was magical and highly comfortable, we went to a very unique kind of a show, and also had a lovely surprise by the angel Yael Yaniv who booked us to a “Gondolla ride” there. It was soooooooo wonderful!!! The team there has such a great spirit and also they made us a little surprise and sang “Hava Nagila” for us =D

My little one was so pleased. She said that there is no need to move forward to another destination, she wants to stay at the venetian =D (she was saying that too when we were at the Disney lol).

I didn’t get to walk through all the shopping area, it is just too huge!!!

So, to make things short… we loved it!!!

Miss you

Kisses

And much love

(hmmm love it, it all looks so very real!!)

(yay godolla ride)

In Hong Kong

Wow! What can I say! Hong Kong is such a fab!!!

Fancy walking around the city streets, shopping is everywhere and we are having the greatest time =0)

I don’t know from where to start or what to focus on!!!! So I guess that will happen after my head get straight lol.

We are in here, it is such a cool funky hotel!!!

We also went to the Hong-Kong Disneyland which was a great experience with my little one she was overwhelmed with joy =0) which is worth it all!!!!

Today we went to see the pandas bears…oohhhhhhhh they are the cutest ever!!!! I didn’t get to take good pic of them =0)

Anyway, we are having fun! Tomorrow we are going to Macau for 2 night at the Venetian Macao Resort Hotel – this is to spoil ourselves before we are heading to the very far far away land of Australia =0)

Tomorrow we are taking off, I have way too many things on my head right now that I have to take care of…
So I am running back to my packing, just wanted to show you my little whishing spring well.

It is made out of white earthenware clay and melted glasses on top.
So whenever I will think of a nice little wish I can have my own little spring well =0) ( you think it counts?? =D)
Take care
Much love

I made this for my upcoming group show, but after couple of time it got broken by accident I gave up and made a new small one at my own time. So this one will not be a part of the show.

Anyway, As the days go by we are getting ready for our very long getaway =0)

I am getting little excited about it – which is not that normal for me … maybe it is because all of my loved one are making a big deal out of this that I am not going to be around for three months, they are so cute all of them. It is great comfort to know that those you love , loves you so much back =0).

I have not start packing yet ( I hate packing) I will have to start it tomorrow..

Much love

Ikea saves =D

Sometimes Ikea cheapest items are the nicest and greatest solution for my messy (very messy) studio!!
I usually recycle baby’s food cans, but this time I needed the cup on, and had no babies around (to steal cans from =D) or time to deal with it. So, luckily short visit to Ikea was a great solution for what I need.
Beside that little happy event, I am still “fighting” against my laundry mountains around the house I have this craziness to finish it all before we take off (because I know I’ll have many more when we’ll return =D)
Starting today, we are meeting our friends and families to say our goodbyes before we are heading to our no worries planet =0) it is not easy for me saying goodbyes but I know that they know that we really needs this time off, and I also know that times fly by so fast, and sooner than they think we’ll be back =0)

Much love

Weekendddddd =0)

Weekend is finally here!! I hope I’ll be able to get more things done than the past few days.

We have so many ends to close up before we take off and, way too much of a bureaucracy which is super annoying!!

Tomorrow I will probably turn on my last kiln (Luster fire such as gold and mother of pearl),the only thing that I think will be hard for me from being away is not being able to get dirty and play in my studio. But, as I know myself I know I will get into someone’s studio somewhere in the world =0).

Anyway, here are some more little village creatures:

They are such fun to make and the kids looooooooooove ‘em!!
So, have a great weekend!

Much love
