Starting the day with Caldo Gallego — a traditional Galician soup made with white beans, potatoes, and turnip greens. Rustic, warm, and so satisfying.

Arriving in Santiago de Compostela felt like stepping into the triumphant finale of countless journeys. The square was alive with pilgrims and hikers celebrating their own hard‑won arrival, filling the city with an energy that was both joyful and deeply moving.
We stayed at the historic Parador beside the cathedral, where a beautiful dinner set the tone for the days ahead.
From here, our adventure through the north of Spain begins — and the excitement is unmistakable.

Morning light in Bendigo. A quiet walk by Lake Weeroona led us to our chartered vintage tram, offering a glimpse of the city’s elegant 19th‑century streets. At the Central Deborah Gold Mine, we stepped into the stories of the Gold Rush that shaped this region. Beautiful autumn day in Australia.

These “swimming jewels” began as a rare mutation in simple carp nearly 200 years ago in Niigata. Today, exceptional koi can sell for more than $10,000 — surprising, isn’t it.
