I\’ve been to Honfleur umpteen times. Weekends, day trips, long trips, before baby, after baby. But, the focus had always been food. And rightly so. This time, however, I visited the Musée Eugène Boudin in the heart of Honfleur. And OH my goodness! I can\’t believe I waited this long!!! The museum boasts of a […]

There are so many towns around Paris that if you want a break from the city to do <insert any activity> you will be spoilt for choice. That is my promise to you. Really \”cross my heart and swear to drink\”. Recently all we really, really wanted was to relax and take it easy. \”Us\”

Zadar: in about a day We were pleasantly surprised to find the city had a big spread of ruins, with a Roman forum in the main square. Zadar, btw, is the oldest inhabited city in Croatia, with traces of civilization going back all the way to the Stone ages. Quite rich in architecture, but, really

Plitvice lakes: (pronounced PLIT-vits-uh) Time spent: 6 hours Was it enough? NOT at all! Plitvice Lakes National Park The lakes complex lies midway between Zadar and Zagreb. Lonely planet and even the park suggest a complete itinerary around the upper and lower lakes that takes up to 8 hours. However, this is absolutely impossible if

We drove down from Dubrovnik (read about it here) to Split in about three hours. The roads are fantastic, which I hadn\’t imagined AT ALL. The landscape is gorgeous – you are driving parallel to the Adriatic coast almost throughout. You even cross Bosnia & Herzegovina through Neum, a town so small, you won\’t realise

My first trip ever to the Netherlands in November 2014. And here I am writing a year and a half later. Obviously my little diary helped, but not as much as my detailed entries of trips made in 2016. I travelled from India and D joined me in Paris, and then we made it together to Amsterdam.

There are very few towns that look the same on a postcard and in reality. Heidelberg is one of them. Scenically located between the Neckar on one side and the Odenwald (mountain) on the other, it is truly a romantic hideaway. I really wanted to use the Funicular to go up to the castle and

Mulhouse, France – 27.03.2016 Left home (Paris) at about 830 AM. The best feeling in the world is listening to music, and watching the road lines swoosh beneath you. Then there’s the rustic beauty of villages and it’s quietude that make you want to weave your version of life-story had you lived there. And then
