Life in Bali – Vacation location for Babymoon
This Bali vacation is considered one of the most unplanned trip I ever had. I mean, I was planning for a trip and I knew I had to get away before I couldn’t travel at all. It was also the boy’s birthday and I wanted to plan a surprise… But I guess planning surprises doesnt really work hand in hand with my work schedule. Ever since I got back from the honeymoon.. I have been smacked right into the flurry of activities at work.. Everyone started going on leave, clearing all their leaves before the year ends and it was especially bad, because my co had had the policy of…

Europe Honeymoon – day 2 in Rome
Day 2 of our Europe honeymoon – We ventured out to get our Roma pass. This is a must if you are visiting the touristy places and travelling via the metro. It’s available at most newstands and it’s 25€. In return, you’ll get a Roma pass that is valid for 3 days (upon activation) that allows numerous trips on all public transport (in our case, metro rides), and gives you access to museums and archaeological sites. We visited many places with this and didn’t had to pay a single cent for entrance! Together with the package, there is an Internet access card that gives you information about shows and other…

Our Rome Holiday – Honeymoon in Rome
It’s been a while… The last post on our rome holiday aka honeymoon has been a long while back. Since homecoming, work has been really busy and with my colleague being on leave for 2 weeks and with the boy leaving for aussieland for work, birthday parties to attend, weekend events for work.. And catching up with our parents over weekend dinners. I barely had the time to rest properly, let alone blog. These days, I hit the bed at 10+pm or before midnight if I can manage it because I’m just so drained and I think stress is also causing very bad migraines for me daily so I have…

Useful Travel information on Istanbul..
here’s some useful travel information on Istanbul and because i didn’t really enjoy istanbul as much as i should since i fell sick, i am going to share the research that i did here for the trip, mostly for the benefit of kenties and whoever might be heading towards istanbul in the near future (though i think it’s not a common travel destination amongst the people i know and even kenties is going there because of work). nonetheless, here’s some of the places that i was planning to visit, in no order of preference. 1. hagia sophia (aya sofya). used to be an orthodox patriarchal basilica, then a mosque.. today…

Day 8 & 9 of Spain vacation – Salamanca and Toledo
day 8 & 9 of Spain vacation – Salamanca and Toledo We headed off to Salamanca! Instead of the usual churches, we visited the Shrine of Fatima. It’s a really interesting place to be.. a large plaza in the centre of it and sheltered walkways around it. Well, more shopping on the trip at the Salamanca Plaza. The Plaza Mayor reminds me of another place in Europe, but can’t quite recall the name right now. day 9.. We left Salamanca and popped into Toledo, the town famed for making swords and knives. It is a UNESCO World Heritage site. The most memorable thing I have of the city is how…

Day 6 & 7 of Spain Vacation – Crossing over to Lisbon Portugal
and here’s day 6 of spain trip where we crossed over to Lisbon, Portugal. I extract this portion of the blog entry out from an original lengthy blog entry written very long ago. You can read the original blog post if you are interested. One of the first activity we did that morning was SHOPPING! And how could i not visit Zara while in Spain? Post shopping, it was a long road journey to Lisbon, Portugal. We drove past neverending fields of cows and cattle and it was a calming sight indeed. Once we were over the border, we immediately spotted the iconic places of Lisbon – Port of Lisbon,…

Day 5 of Spain vacation – Seville.
Spain – Day 5. To Seville i go! Checked out the Alcazar in Seville on the 5th day of my Spain vacation. It’s a royal palace in Seville, Spain and it used to be a moorish fort. It is the oldest palace still in use in Europe and also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Climbed 34 levels of the Giralda (another World Heritage Site), which is the bell tower of the Cathedral of Seville and checked out the amaaaaaaazing view at the top of the bell tower. Can you tell i pant a lot on my way up and down? Seeing the bell right at the top has its own satisfaction, despite…
