Blowing waves {Kauai, Hawaii}~

@ 7:54 AM 0 comments
I don't know why but Americans really like this "blowing waves" thing
 
Because everyone in our group wanted see it, we went as well.
 
Nedenini anlayamadigim bir sekilde Amerikalilar blowing waves yani puskuren dalgalar olayina cok merakli

nedir bu derseniz
iste boyle kayaliklarda
bir dalga gelior ve gordugunuz gibi pusuruyor
 
I don't know maybe it was a bad day or something.
It didn't blow as much as I expect.
Olay bu yani
 
Personally, I don't even consider it is blowing actually
I don't think it's that special but I'm one of those people who needs to see things just to know if I like or not
 
Is it one of those "must see places" in Hawaii?
absolutely not!
 
I have no regret to go there and spend our valuable time at non-blowing blowing waves but I have seen better ones in Mexico -here- and in Norway before.
 
 
Hawaii'ye gidilip illa ki gorulmeli midir?
 
bence degil
Meksica'da ve Norvec'te cok daha harikalarini gordum.
 
Cok ozel degil ama gidip ozel olmadigini gormek de guzel bir tecrube.
 
 
ps. kusura bakmayin sehit haberlerinin her gun geldigi bir ortamda kafa dagitmak icin yaziyorum. Ortaya harikalar cikmiyordur muhtemelen. Affiniza siginiyorum.

Los Olas beach~

@ 12:29 PM 0 comments
bugun aslinda planim baska bir yerden bahsetmekti ama o oldu bu oldu,
yardim alacagim kaynaklarimi bulamadim falan derken yalan oldu.  

Gittigim gezdigim tek yer orasi degil ya baska yerde yazarim dedim.

Los Olas beach Florida'da Miami'ye yakin, ft Lauderdale ile Miami arasindaki kumsallardan bir tanesi.
Ozellikle benim gibi Miami'yi sevmeyenlerdenseniz iyi bir alternative.
Diger alternatifse burada bahsettigim Hollywood beach. 

Actually I was planning to post about somewhere else today but I couldn't find some necessary background info about there.
-yeah, I know, I am the queen of disorganized people :/-
anyway, husband will find them when he get back home. This is what husbands are for :) 

Since it was not the only place I have visited recently, I can talk about Los Olas beach.
This is one of the beaches we came most often. Almost everytime we've got bored of Chicago on winter we came here.

Great alternative for the people who doesn't like South beach.
Other alternative is Hollywood beach
Not as great as this one but still good I many ways.
Kum kalitesi, okyanusun dalgaliligi bakimindan falan South beach'den fazlasi var eksigi yok.
Hollywood beach'le hemen hemen es kalitede diyebilirim.

Sand and ocean quality is at least as great as south beach and maybe even better because here is less wavy, although photos were taken in a super wavy day.
Yalniz burada cocuk parki falanda var. O bakimdan cocuklu aileler icin daha iyi olabilir.

There is also play ground right off the beach. I think it is a huge plus for the families with kids.
bahar tatilinde geldigimiz icin tabiki cok kalabalikti.
normalde bu kadar fazla kalabalik olmuyor.
Polislerin fazlaligi da ondan.

Because of spring breakers, it was sooo crowded and cops were in everywhere when we came here last time.
It's definely not like this all the time.

Restorant secenekleri falan South beach ve Hollywood beach'ten cok cok fazla ve daha kaliteli.

Restaurant options are much more and better than both South beach and Hollywood beach.
Ayrica hemen her yerin 2. kati var ve dolayisiyla okyanus manzarasiyla yemek yeme sansida olusuyor. Araba gurultusu nispeten azaliyor.

Second floors of the restaurants has a great view and it is also big plus to escape from car noise. Especially if you are noise sensitive person like me
Toplami, olup olacagi bu kadar.
Bir cadde, onlarca bar ve restorant'dan olusan hos bir beach
1 hafta kalsam SIKILacagimdan eminim ama kisa tatiller icin harika.

Burayi kesfedeli beri, kisin cok bunaldigimizda hafta sonlari 2 gunlugune geliyoruz.
Ucakla Chicago'ya 3 saat ve alandan en fazla 15-20 dakika.
Ucak biletleri, kalinacak yer, yemek vs. her sey dahil en fazla $2000 tutuyor.
Deger mi degmez mi? 

Suan balkon'da oturmus sapir sapir terlerken degmez desemde, kisin tir tir titrerken degiyor gibi geliyor.
Sanirim deger :)

Neyse, kisa kis tatillerinde gidilecek yakin yer arayanlara tavsiye ederim guzel bir yer.

One street, tons of bars and restaurants, sand and ocean
it's all about it.
I'm sure if I stay for a week, I would get bored but for a short period of time it's great.

For example, since we discovered here, we spend many of our weekends on winter.
It takes about 3 hours flight from Chicago. 15-20 minutes from airport.
flight tickets, hotel, food, etc. expenses cost $2000 max.
I think, it definitely worth.
Especially, since it was waaaay below freezing in Chicago and not much to do in that cold.

If you are looking for place to escape on winter. I highly recommend everyone to try Los Olas beach.

swimming with sea turtles in Barbados~

@ 9:00 AM 0 comments

I was actually not planing to do anything new. 
bunch of guys was walking on the beach and offering attractions to tourists.
When they ask us whould you like to swim with turtles?
Drinks+short boat trip+ feeding turtles for $20
without even thinking I said NO!
and then he said ok I'll make it $15 if you came now.

I definetely have something with sales. 
hundereds of things circled thru my brain like:
should I do it?
it is really good deal, isn't it?
it is on SALE baby!
$15 is money we could spend for only drink 
so it is good deal! 
 But I afraid of a loooot of things including underwater life.

But I also DO a looooot of things I afraid of.
why not snorkeling?
etc. etc. etc.

In few seconds I found myself trying to convince my husband how great idea to swim with turtles.
He is more open to new things then I am.
So we took our stuff and jump on the boat.

I won't deny I still afraid a bit but it was one of the best experiences I have ever done.

I saw so many "finding Nemos" :)

I wish I have under water camera so I can show them to you guys as well.

I am glad I did it!

Kirdim zincirlerimi!

Barbados'un tertemiz turkuaz denizi, ve bembeyaz kumu beni bastan cikardi. Dedimki simdi degilse ne zaman?
hemen yapmaliyim
Yoksa biliyorum, yapmadigima pisman olacagim
Butun bir hayatim boyunca su altindan korktum. Ayagimi kuma basamadim. Bir balik gorunce kactim -bunun icin gecerli sebeplerimde vardi hani- ama artik o gunler gecti.
Artik su alti dunyasiyla en ufak bir sorunum yok. Su kaplumbagalarina yaklasip onlara yemek bile atabiliyorum.
Iste burada da kaniti!
and what about turtles?

Now, all I know about them is they afraid of us more than we afraid of them

Kenarda gunesten rahatsiz olan pembeli benim.
Bundan sonra su alti kamerasi almayi dusunuyorum. 
Bakar bakar cekerim artik ne iyi olur :)
I am the pink one on this photo :) 

Take me back to kristal clear waters of Barbados!

Hopefully next time with a water-proof camera

Wimea Canyon Lookout {Kauai, Hawaii}~

@ 7:53 AM 0 comments
Needless to say, you know I don't like nature.
And you know, nature doesn't like me too.
Whenever I Go for an out door activity, something unpleasant happens to me.
I feel like all those insects, animal and everything know that I came and they hit me, bite me, hurt me.
I can't understand why?
I mean, why me?

Anyway...
Usually, I wouldn't go anywhere like there but I made an exception for Kauai
thankfully, nothing happened bad and it was wonderful.
One of the best views I have ever seen in my entire life. 
I definitely would like come here again and hopefully next time for hiking.

Tabiati sevmedigimi defalarca soylemisimdir herhalde.
O da beni sevmiyor zaten.
Nerede bortu bocek bilumum haserat gelir beni isirir.
Masmavi tek bir hayvanatin gozukmedigi denizde yuzerken kafama balik carpmisligi var. Hemde kocamandi.
Grup halinde gittigimiz barbeku partisinde ormanda bacagima sarilmis yilan var.
Daha da gitmedim zaten ormana filan. 

Ama tabi Kaua'ye kadar gelip kanyona gitmeyecek degilim. 
Herseyi goze aldim ve gittim.
Neyseki basima bir sey gelmedi.

Tek kelimeyle muhtesem bir yerdi. 
Buraya tekrar gelip hiking yapmayi cok isterim.

okayanus, yerel cicekler, agaclar, ve cok hafif yosun kokusu belki...
anlatmasi zor ama muhtesem bir koku. 
Icime cekmeye doyamadim.
Keske kokulari da record etmenin bir yolu olsa.
Ben record edemesemde siz hayal edin lutfen. 















Biliyorum ki, bazi fotograflar cok net ve guzel ciksada bazilari biraz karanlik yada bugulu gozukuyor.
Yinede hic bir fotografin uzerinde hic bir degisiklik yapmadim. Oldugu gibi, ciplak gozle nasil gozukuyorsa oyle yayinlamayi tercih ettim. 
Yani bu gordugunuz guzellikte en ufak bir isik oyunu, en ufak bir abarti yok.

ne kadarda muhtesem degil mi?

Although most photos are nice and clear, I know some photos are fogy, some are little dark, etc. not so perfect. Just to let you know, I didn't made any change on any of them. So it is exactly howit looks with the naked eye.

isn't it so wonderful?

Follow me~
