TIME OF INOCENSE


His smile went from side to side. His eyes wide opened as we came out of the ferry and the colours of the carnival became visible to him.


The teeth of the Luna Park "monster" was threatening to eat us on our way in but we manage to escape. 


Kids getting their hair raised, families going around on the ferries wheel, laughing clowns, carousel horses racing passed you. 


You stop to look at yourself on the magic mirrors, the image of your body distorted can give you a laugh or make you shed a tear. 


Knoa couldn't contained his happiness. He run, he looked, he smiled, he shout, he jumped 

     - Mami mami looked - Everything was so wonderful to him, to me seeing his little face light up was the most amazing feeling. 

There has been tough times for all of us. As a mother you blame yourself for anytime that your children don't get to live the life of a kid: innocent,  happy, full of joy and play days. Today I'm giving back what I took from him and that is priceless. 


The park is located in Milsons Point, on the north shore of Sydney Harbour. It's water surroundings make this place a peaceful dream land for kids but also often a destination for weddings and party celebrations.


We got there by ferry from Circular Quay, Wharf 5 and cost $12 for a return adult ticket. My son travelled free. 

You can also get there by car, train or bus.

You can buy food there at the Coney Island Cafe, Lighthouse Cafe, Fish 'N' Sips or for more formal lunches or diners visit The Deck. 


It's also a great idea to bring a picnic basket , find a quiet spot and enjoy the views! Great idea for couples. 


Have some fun and forget about your diet for the day and try the parks's favourite Fairy Floss or Ice Cream, or both! 


A great day for grown ups or the little ones.

YOU LOVE IS TOO HEAVY

The Pont des Arts in Paris is known to lovers from around the world, here they seal their love by attaching a lock with their names written on it to its railing and throwing the key deep into the Seine River. But on Sunday evening this iconic tourist attraction known to the world as the “locks of love”  made the news as police was forced to evacuate visitors off the bridge after 2.4 meters of railing collapse. The police said “the bridge was immediately evacuated and closed and would be reopen by Monday”. A petition has started asking the locks to be removed saying that they caused damages to the bridge. The “locks of love” craze are also found in other cities around the world like in the Seoul Tower, Ponte Milvio in Rome, Prague, Donestk and Cologne.
