Winery

So you’ve had a sneak peek through the instagram photos for hejorama, but finally here’s a look at what we came all the way to Brisbane for… the wedding! It was held at Ocean View Estates, a winery about an hour’s drive north of Brisbane. Our friends chartered a bus to ferry us up there…

Brisbane Bumming: Meriton Serviced Apartments Review

Meriton Brisbane

On my last Brisbane jaunt for Unholies P’s wedding, we stayed in Brisbane City at the Meriton Serviced Apartments on Adelaide Street. It’s the highest building in the city and we had a pretty great room all the way up on the 2nd highest floor, #73! Here’s a little more about our stay.   WHERE…

Brisbane Bumming: Short Snippets of a Quiet City

Brisbane

It sure has been one hectic March for me! I went diving in Dayang earlier in the month, and last weekend I flew up to Brisbane for one of the Unholies P’s wedding ceremony. It wasn’t a very long trip, a late Thursday night flight and flying back on Monday afternoon up on Etihad (see…

Unholies in UAE – A day or two in Dubai

Dubai

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…

Unholies in UAE – Sheik Zayed Grand Mosque

Sheik Zayed Grand Mosque

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….

DSC01487a

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…

Unholies in UAE – Sand Dunes, Heated Pools and Overall Decadence

IMG_8884a

I was super stoked about staying in the middle of the desert (check out my Qasr review here!) and couldn’t wait to do check out all that sand. While we didn’t actually get down to actual dune bashing (taking a 4-wheel drive and driving through the sand and dunes), we had sand dunes right at…

TOT Round Up 2012

Wow 2012 was quite a great year in terms of travelling! I had hoped to travel more, but I wasn’t really expecting to travel as much as I did given that I was piled with projects at work. But somehow I managed to squeeze out the time and ended up visiting a surprising 7 countries…
