Travel Period - Mar to Apr 2009 Chennai, Mahabalipuram & Kancheepuram This was my 2nd trip to India. A very short trip indeed. We arrived in Chennai International Airport and our pre-booked vehicle was waiting for us. We had a grand welcome from the hotel (Ambica Empire) - presenting us with garlands :) The check-in was quick and we got settled in our room. The weather was very humid and staying in an air-con room was a neccessity. We had hired a driver to bring us around for our trip. We had lunch (typical south indian Thali) and it was absolutely delicious and cheap! After that, we did the usual touristy stuffs: (1) Spencer Plaza (2) Marine Beach (super crowded) (3) MGR memorial (both my parents were fans of his movies) After this, we went for ... read more

Travel Period: 2 Jan 2010 to 13 Jan 2010 India, the 2nd most populous country and more than a 100 languages spoken. My only knowledge of India is through movies or stories heard from my friends. I never thought that i will travel to India but i did. This trip included my mum and my sis. It was the first time for the 3 of us. 2 & 3 Jan 2010 We reached Trivandrum at about 8pm. When we stepped out of the airport, it was dark. The only lights were from the airport. We located our driver who drove us through the dark streets with only the headlight guiding him. Occasionally, we got a glimpse of some locals walking in the dark. Those who have been to India knows how the drivers are with the ... read more

Travel Period: 11 Nov 2008 to 24 Nov 2008 We all left Queenstown with a heavy heart as we had so much of adventure over here. But our journey still continues with much more fun. The journey to Lake Tekapo was a long but scenic route. We stopped at many intervals. One of our stop was at lake Pukaki. It was breath- taking with turquoise coloured water. We reached at lake Tekapo which is a small town. We checed-in at Scenic Resort and had a balcony facing the lake. We had lunch at the near by cafe which by the way was not that great. I guess it was because the food got so cold fast as we were eating outside. Next on our agenda was Horse Riding. There was a free pick up provided to ... read more

Travel period:-11 Nov 08' to 24 Nov 08' Highlight of the day: Milford Sound Today, we went to Milford Sound. There were 2 options to reach there, the first one is to book a coach or self-drive. We chose the coach which we pre-booked when we reached Queenstown. The journey to Milford Sound takes about a few hours. it takes you through Te Anau, Fiordland National Park, pausing at the Mirror Lakes before passing through the Hollyford Valley. We then enter the Homer Tunnel, emerging above the Cleddau Valley before descending to Milford Sound. Sitting at the window seat was a ideal idea, as the bus travels, you can be lost in the beauty of the scenery. The bus passed numerous cows, sheeps, mountains, hills etc. Our first stop was at Te Anau Town where breakfast ... read more

Travel Period - 13 Nov 2009 to 15 Nov 2009 Day 1 - Nov 13 (Friday) My first overseas trip with my childhood friends :) :) Our Tiger airways flight departed Singapore's Budget terminal at 8am. Immigration was very slow but that did not dampened our excitement. We managed to find our driver (pre booked with hotel). It took us about another hour to reach out resort - Ao Nang resort. Check-in was very quick and in no time, we were taking a tour of the resort. The resort was situated against the backdrop of a cliff which gave it a very rural appeal. The swimming pool was where you could relax and see the cliff. Without wasting time, we ventured out to book for our island trips which is what krabi is famous for. ... read more
