Bare Island – The Mission Impossible

Bare Island is located in South-Eastern Sydney in the suburb of La Perouse. I was at this place about 10 years ago, my one and only visit there. The surrounding area is very quiet and the view is amazing.

It is connected to the main land through a narrow wooden bridge. You are probably familiar with the bridge. I gasped when I saw Tom Cruise rode the bike across the bridge in Mission Impossible II.

The water around the island is very popular with scuba divers. It’s one of the best spot to scuba diving in the city. On a late afternoon you will find plenty of locals fishing along the bridge. You can walk around on the island and enjoy the ocean breeze or you can sit on the grassy area to enjoy the scenery.

Kerry Park – Breathless in Seattle

You’ve seen the picture-perfect Seattle skyline on the postcards or in the magazines. Have you ever wondered where all those pictures are taken from? If I would venture a guess, it has got to be the beautiful Kerry Park in the Queen Anne neighborhood.

The view from the park is breathtaking. Not only you get a front-row seat to the view of downtown Seattle; you also get a view of Mount Rainier and Elliott Bay. On a nice beautiful day (read: not raining), you can even pack your bag for a nice afternoon picnic. The park is small and it’s pretty popular with both tourists and locals alike so crowd is something you might want to consider (late evening on a weeknight (day) might be a good time to visit to avoid the big crowd.)

So go ahead, pick the day, pack that picnic basket and bring your loved one to the park.
