Countryside Trip

It is over a year now since my second visit in this so-called “Gaming and Entertainment Capital in the World”. Yes, I love Las Vegas and it is a city where I always love to visit again and again. My second visit was last summer 2013. Thanks to my dear sister for sponsoring my ticket to the United States. I am truly grateful and blessed!

The street in Las Vegas Strip during my second visit. The left buildings are the Ballys Group and you can see Paris Hotel and Resort at the right side. The Eiffel Tower is very visible.

There are so many things I miss in Las Vegas. Most of all are my two lovely sisters. The many entertainments and escapades you can do in this city. The many restaurants where you can go dining. The endless shops where you can do window shopping or really go shopping if it is in your budget. (more…)

This town is truly beautiful!  It is not too big but if you want to see and experience everything, a day is also not enough.  I have been to Rothenburg ob der Tauber many times. If I am  not mistaken,  my last visit was the 6th time already.  I just find it very interesting  especially with regards  to its historical architecture,  medieval setting and many interesting sights.

beautiful timbered-houses or buildings in Rothenburg od der Tauber during one of my visits. It is known for its medieval center (Altstadt), seemingly untouched by the passage of time, encircled by the undamaged 14th century town wall.

Rothenburg ob der Tauber is located in the district of Ansbach of Mittelfranken (Middle Franconia), the Franconia region of Bavaria, Germany. If you are familiar about the Romantische Strasse or Romantic Road, this town is also located in this most beautiful street in Bavaria. (more…)

It was a dream came into reality! I mean, my birthday trip to St. Petersburg, Russia. It was a good trip and I was amazed by the beauty of this Russian city. St. Petersburg is indeed for me one of the most beautiful cities I visited in this world.

This group of musicians were playing in front of the port of St. Petersburg last summer 2013.

As we arrived in the port of St. Petersburg, I was already very excited. It was my first time to step in this city and it was my first time to step  in Russia. After everything was check including the passport control, we were ready to go out. (more…)

Hello November! Is it still Halloween? Okey, then happy Halloween everyone! It was indeed a fun night last night! As I arrived in my friend’s house, the party already started. I was quite late but I always say, better later than never at all! Everyone brought some things that night from candies for the kids, food for dinner and some drinks. I immediately put the food I brought on the table and started eating as well. (more…)

It was the second day of our tour. Croatia’s capital was our next destination that day. From our 4-star hotel in Therme Tuhelj, it took the bus around 1 hour and 20 minutes to reach our next destination. I did not expect that Zagreb has also its own beauty.

Zagreb is has indeed its own charm, a vibrant city worth to see and experience. Its medieval city reminded me of my visit in Budapest, Vienna, Prague and other European cities.

Another golden week of October is here! Let me share to you what happened during my recent trip in Italy. Well, it was not really a good one but we were all thankful that we still made it to Siena. Here it is;

Our bus  near our hotel in Marina di Pietrasanta, Italy

That day we should be heading to Siena, a historic city in the region of Tuscany in Italy. It was a bus trip and the bus that will take us to Siena was robbed. The robbers broke-in ins inside the bus and took all valuables. If we only have a modern bus during that trip, it might not happened. There might be fingerprint safes in a modern or luxury bus. (more…)

I wish that holiday is still not over. I should still be enjoying the nice warm weather if I am still in Tuscany, Italy. Sad to say, reality says, the trip is over and I am already backed  home. I mentioned in my previous post  here that I will be visiting this region of Italy for a week. It did finally happened!

“I have been to many places and cities in Italy but Tuscany has its own beauty.  I therefore conclude, Tuscany region is one of the best.”

I took this  snapshot when our bus passed this area on our way from Siena to Pietrasanta. Nice scenery indeed. I believed these are grape vines.

Geography

It borders the regions of Liguria to the northwest, Emilia-Romagna to the north and east, Umbria to the east and Lazio to the southeast. Tuscany is located on Italy’s west coast, on the Tyrrhenian sea. (more…)

I am quite tired at the moment. There are just a lot of things I did offline before I  escape again for another trip. Thanks God, my luggage is finally done. I just need to put later my laptop inside and some personal stuffs and I am good to go.

Florence, Italy. Thanks to my friend for this image. I will see this city soon!

I was quite busy the past days, both  offline and  online  tasks. Not much is going on with blogging but I am glad that I was able to update some of my blogs before I leave. Now, I am happy that I will be going for another  adventure. Some people might be thinking  I have a lot of money because I travel almost  every month since spring season this year. Oh well, there are many things I consider and one of it is traveling,  when finances are available. (more…)

The weather was sunny but as always, if you are near the water and it is still not high summer in Southern part of Europe, sometimes it can be a bit cold. It was not a problem for me because being a frequent traveler, I am always armed with the right clothes and gadget. lolz!

It was a mini-cruise I had in Lake Garda. My German friends call it Gardasee and in Italian, it is called Lago di Garda. This lake is the largest lake in Italy and is a very popular tourist destination. It was a perfect decision booking this trip in this part of Italy.

The beautiful scenery while leaving Riva del Garda, one of the beautiful towns in Lake Garda.
