Right, so assignment handed in and free time restored, we proceeded to discover more of Singapore and in what turned out to be a rather short walk, ended up at the Marina Bay. To be fair, the initial trip to the Bay was to look for either the “Gardens by the Bay” or the “Marina … Continue Reading
Walking around Singapore at night and then out of nowhere (or maybe there were warning signs and we just ignored them) this tropical thunderstorm appears lighting up the sky every few seconds and as you can imagine, I quickly whipped out my camera and captured a few shots. It’s a strange sensation being outdoors in that … Continue Reading
As part of a trip to Morocco, it makes perfect sense (nay, it’s very important) to explore other areas outside of Marrakech. Marrakech is an amazing and exciting place filled with enticing smells, intriguing sights, delightful sounds and tinged with the slightest hint of danger… Alas I’m afraid that last one might have been slightly made up in … Continue Reading
London is one of the most exciting cities in the world – I know I could be accused of being biased here but I genuinely think know so! Having lived in London for a few years and hence gotten the opportunity to take in a whole range of experiences in London (on a wide range … Continue Reading
This is a fairly quick post and is the first of two posts! The next one will follow very shortly. Effectively, as you can see from the photos at the top of the Eiffel Tower, I love cityscape photos; especially ones taken at dusk. I’ve been fortunate enough to have been at the top of … Continue Reading
Part Deux is here! Swiftly flying in following Numero Uno! As per my previous post with the view from The Empire State Building, here’s the corresponding view from The Rockefeller Center. I won’t waste your time on any more waffle. You know the drill! 🙂 Now that you have both, you can fully decide and let … Continue Reading
The challenge: You’re breezing through New York for one night and need to catch a flight to London the very next day. Can you see all the major sights and get a good feel for New York in the next 24 hours? This is actually a real-life scenario we faced a while back and essentially … Continue Reading
Disclaimer: This trip to Calico was another impromptu stop on the trip (albeit a rather nice one)! On the drive to Hollywood after 3 days in Las Vegas (which was so much fun but more of that in another post soon), my friends and I figure we might as well break up the journey with a stop … Continue Reading
I need some advice! As part of my holidays anywhere, one of the things I enjoy the most is trying out local food! I’m such a foodie at heart and I genuinely get excited once I know there’s food involved in a trip anywhere. That is of course until I came across the Durian Fruit. … Continue Reading
The lengths we will go to look for beaches, eh? Like I said in the previous post, looking for great beaches in Singapore has been a bit of struggle however due to some time-staking research, I finally found what is apparently Singapore’s best-kept secret! What is this I hear you ask? Lazarus Island Beach! Okay, … Continue Reading
Venice is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe and easily the most romantic cities in Italy. I know Paris is well-known for being ‘the romantic city’ but don’t be fooled, Venice easily rivals Paris for this title. Plus it has amazing ice creams so for me. It absolutely wins! 🙂 Venice is so … Continue Reading
Morocco is one of the more memorable places I’ve had the pleasure of visiting and particularly so is the city of Marrakesh! I’m not entirely sure what it is about it that makes it so exciting – perhaps it’s the raw unpretentiousness of it all, the Arabic heritage, the hustle and bustle of people going about … Continue Reading
Route 66 is known as the “Main Street of America” and a long-a*s street it is indeed! Route 66 starts in Illinois and ends in California and, if you look at the map below, you can see why it has this name. It effectively cuts across America and is arguably the most famous highway in … Continue Reading
Following a fairly short-ish ride (circa 3 hours) filled with a warning about impending hurricanes, we finally arrived at New Orleans to explore Preservation Hall, Gorge at mothers and take in all the jazz. You see, New Orleans was definitely one of the most anticipated stops on our USA road trip. However, we arrived truly … Continue Reading
