    Australia Purple Travel Guide

    Summary

    Australia is a dream destination for many people and, because it is so far away from the rest of the world, often a once-in-a-lifetime vacation trip. It is the oldest, flattest, driest continent on our planet and has the least fertile soils. Because it separated from other major land masses millions of years ago, much of the flora and fauna in Australia is unique. Besides Uluru (Ayers Rock), Australia has other spectacular national parks in the same region: Kata Tjuta (The Olgas) and Kings Canyon (Watarrka National Park).  And, of course there is the Great Barrier Reef on the east coast, the largest and most spectacular barrier reef on our planet. Sydney has the iconic Opera House, the Harbour Bridge and lots of history.  Enjoy our self-guided walking tour through The Rocks. This travel guide gives you a 2 week sample itinerary with detailed information on the individual destinations. To help you find out what best fits you, we have added lots of photos and links to additional reviews. This is not an in-depth guide. With this guide, we like to help you prepare for your trip so that you can make Memorable Moments on a relaxing vacation!

    Crooked Island Purple Travel Guide

    Summary

    Crooked Island is the best guarded secret of the Bahamas.  If you are looking for the true Bahamas with endless white sand beaches, palm trees, turquoise waters, excellent swimming, snorkeling and diving, fishing and especially bone fishing, solitude and some of the friendliest people on the planet, look no further.  Crooked Island is calling your name. With a size of 57 square miles (148 km2), Crooked Island is about 70% of the size of New Providence Island where Nassau is located. But its population of 330 people is only a tiny fraction and makes for a population density of only 6 people per square mile (2 people per km2).  So, if you want to get away from it all, look no further.  Crooked Island is calling your name. On a cloudless night, you can enjoy gazillions of stars as there are only few artificial light sources. If you stay on the beaches on the west side of Crooked Island then you will see the occasional cruise ship far away on the horizon and realize that you have found your place in paradise. This travel guide provides lots of information for a trip to Crooked Island in The Bahamas. We have added lots of photos to help you understand what you will see so that you can decide for yourself what is of most interest for you. This is not an in-depth guide.

    Iceland Purple Travel Guide

    Summary

    Iceland is of volcanic origin and you see lava fields just about everywhere unless they are hidden under glaciers.  This truly makes for a moon-like scenery.  Iceland is still volcanically active and this gives rise to hot springs (pools) and geysers.  The hills and lava fields make perfect conditions for spectacular waterfalls.  And then there are large ice caves that you can explore. If you go in late fall, winter or early spring, you may see the aurora borealis, the Northern lights, which make for a truly special experience and truly memorable moments. Not to forget, there are only 360,000 people on the island and there is plenty of solitude and untouched nature to admire.

    Indiana Dunes Purple Travel Guide

    Summary

    Indiana Dunes National Park is the 61st national park in the US. Its main attractions are its sandy beaches and hiking trails through miles of sand dunes.  Considering the location of the park on the southern shores of Lake Michigan, most people are surprised to hear that there are sand dunes so far north in the United States.  Taking into account that Indiana Dunes National Park is located less than 50 miles from downtown Chicago and that not many people outside of the Chicago area have ever heard of this park, we think that this park can be considered to be one of the best kept secrets in the country. But not much longer – we are going to spill the beans and provide you with a detailed guide to Indiana Dunes National Park. In this guide, we will tell you what we consider to be the major attractions, provide google maps links to help you get there, our experiences and often links to the attractions if they have a website.

    Japan Purple Travel Guide

    Summary

    Japan has long been on our Must-See list of countries and the first time we wanted to go there was in 2011. Sadly, less than two months before we were supposed to go there Japan was hit by an earthquake and tsunami which caused the Fukushima catastrophe. After waiting for several years, we fulfilled our dream and went. Getting around in Japan, for somebody who cannot speak or read Japanese, has some challenges, but is doable. Japanese people are very friendly and polite, but many either don’t speak English or are too shy to speak English. Street addresses in Japan are not necessarily logical or in chronological order in Japan. Nevertheless, we found that google maps is reliable. So, for me, the time I took to prepare for this trip was significantly longer than normal. And it paid off. With this guide, we like to help you prepare for your trip so that you can make Memorable Moments on a relaxing vacation!
