My very first morning in Munich, I reached there pretty early in the morning. While waiting to check in at the Euro Youth Hotel where I was staying at, I decided to check out the city via the Sandeman’s New Munich walking tour. It’s free and happens twice a day (1045am and 1pm), so if…
And we conclude the Bali chronicles with a day in Kuta! After checking out Seminyak and Jimbaran in the previous days, we spent our last day in the famous Kuta area where all the tourists hang out. The traffic getting to Kuta was pretty insane, it’s a long narrow stretch of road fairly close to…
One of the most important things about the trip up to Bali was deciding on the accommodation, and boy was it a doozy trying to decide where to stay because there are just SO MANY options when it comes to Bali! Y just gave up on choosing, A and I did our best to research…
Last of the Brisbane stories! We wandered around Brisbane City, and attended the lovely wedding out at Ocean View Estates, and on the one day we had free and we rented a car. C had done a bunch of research on places we could go to and found this Hinterland food and wine trail which…
So this Bali trip rounds up my intensive month of travelling in March with diving in Dayang and the wedding in Brisbane, it was a fairly relaxing trip to celebrate birthdays (mine included!) and just to chillax. I’m still trying to decide how much I love Bali as a destination – yes, you can live…
After our wonderful stay at Qasr Al Sarab at the edge of the Liwa Desert, we headed straight on to Dubai. I’d been to Dubai back in the summer of 2007, so I was curious to see how much it had changed in the last 5 years, though with just 1 night there I didn’t…
I loved Munich because being there was ridiculously festive, with the copious beer, gluhwein, Christmas markets and company, so when my travel companion S suggested heading up to Dachau to visit the concentration camp memorial, I was definitely not very keen, and put forth my suggestion to go up to see Neuschwanstein* Castle *You have…
So far you’ve seen me climb dunes in Abu Dhabi, visit a falcon hospital, paddle some mangroves and hang out at a chi-chi beach club in my Abu Dhabi trip journals. But Abu Dhabi isn’t just nature and excesses, it is home to the 3rd largest mosque in the world, the Sheik Zayed Grand Mosque….
Hope you’ve been enjoying the Unholies in UAE posts so far! KL took the girls out to Saadiyat Island for a little girly-time and R&R. When people hear ‘Abu Dhabi’, they tend to think of it as nothing more than a desert region and forget that beyond endless sand dunes, it’s actually home to other…
The one thing I loved about Munich more than the beer were the Christmas markets! In Singapore where it’s tropically hot and all you get are tinny Christmas carols in ridiculously crowded shopping malls, being in Munich made me feel like I was truly experiencing Christmas for the first time – sipping hot gluhwein in…
