Pottering around milan.
Some random streets of milan while heading towards our hotel! Our hotel! Hotel rio, just round the corner from the famous piazza duomo. It was still v early and we dumped the bags under the care of the hotel and headed off! First up, headed to the central train station to buy our train tickets for the rest of the trip.. Nice tall building with beautiful ceilings and intricate wall designs. I didnt manage to take a picture of the main facade, but it wasa grand building with 2 winged horse statues at the side. Guess what is the first food i ate in italy?! Its a magnum gold! At…

somewhere exotic..
derrie will be off to turkey in sept! sounds like a grand plan, but seriously, it is just plain coincidence because it’s the only place in europe (other than dubai & abu dhabi) that we can fly back to singapore from (on that particular weekend that we are looking at), while make use of mileage. and so, the plans are firmed! its italy (milan – venice – pisa – rome) to paris (euro disney & eiffel tower, im coming!), then to turkey.. making it a 20 days trip! Think it’s going to be a logistical nightmare lugging our luggage around the cities.. travel light. must bear that in mind. maybe,…

Krabi Day 6 (30 Jan 2010)
the last full day in krabi with spent with 6 of our new friends. and it started embarrassingly because everyone was waiting for us while der and me were still in bed! tells you how tired we are from all the adventures that we had and we just jumped out of bed, forgo our breakfast and ready to run to catch the boat. except that the boat is always there waiting for us. we had a private longtail boat at our disposal and we had planned to go to the 4 islands – tup islands, chicken island, poda island and instead of the usual caves that the itinerary states, the…

Krabi Trip Day 5 (29 Jan 10)
what was supposed to be planned as a diving trip took a change in direction when we asked the rest of the couples if they were keen on heading out on a day trip together with a private longtail boat. everyone was keen, and i decided that we’ll shelve that diving opportunity to another time and welcomed the company that we had. as such, we planned a day of island hopping (to the phi phi islands) on day 5! i didn’t whip out my camera as often as i though i would on this trip. i guess the iphone was a niffy gadget and i sorta relied on it too…

Krabi day 4 (28 Jan 2010)
Previously wrote an entry that gave a quick summary of the adventures on the 4th day of the krabi trip, which involves white water rafting (mainly), and going on the ATV where i flew off the vehicle. I’m trying not to repeat the entries so here’s some interesting facts during my experience. January is not the season to be white water rafting in krabi. the water levels are low, and there’s isn’t much exciting or rapid water in the river. the experience was ‘rigged’ with dam water, so what happens is that everyone get ready for their experience, gear up, get into the boats and wait by the river bed…

krabi trip day 1 (23 Jan 2010)
i was a bunch of grumps due to the lack of sleep. i slept at 8am in the morning (to clear my work before departing), and woke at 9.30am for last minute packing, breakfast and all. for once, der is more gan cheong and kiasu about going to the airport, something that i am not expecting from someone who travels frequently. for me, i just wanted more sleep and nothing else. i never met the photographer and mua before the trip, so i was quite surprised when the duo came up to us and asked if we were who we were. my god, the waiting lounge was huge and there…
