  • [JAPAN SPRING 2023 – OSAKA Day 01]

    Our first trip back to Japan after Covid, this trip was an on the spur purchase even before the borders were open for Japan travels due to the epidemic. Luckily, I also had the foresight to purchase the flexi option for scoot, which meant that the flights were also able to be changed without any…

  • [Europe Winter 2022 – Day 14 – 15 – Annecy – Paris – Sg]

    [Europe Winter 2022 – Day 14 – 15 – Annecy – Paris – Sg]

    Our last leg in Paris before heading home! We had a really nice accomodation in this relatively new hotel (which will be infinitely better if the shower was more powerful!) The best thing about the hotel had to be the Bistro / Restaurant on the 2nd floor, which meant that we did not have to…

  • [Europe Winter 2022 – Day 11 – 12 – 13 – Annecy]

    [Europe Winter 2022 – Day 11 – 12 – 13 – Annecy]

    These last few days in Annecy were such a needed break after the hectic days in 2 major cities of Paris and London. We didn’t really do much, we even eschewed an earlier planned day trip to the ski slopes of Chamonix, instead taking the advise of the locals, decided on the lesser known but…

  • [Europe Winter 2022 – Day 11 – London – Paris – Annecy]

    [Europe Winter 2022 – Day 11 – London – Paris – Annecy]

    Our longest travel day within Europe – we caught the 7am (!!) train from London back to Paris, transferred from Gare du Nord to Gare de Lest, and took the delayed train from Gare de Lest to Annecy. All in around 8 hours of travelling! So we were super super happy and pleasantly surprised at…

  • [Europe Winter 2022 – Day 09 – 10 – London]

    [Europe Winter 2022 – Day 09 – 10 – London]

    Spent the last 2 days in London mostly going around by Buses, visiting friends, going to stumbled upon cafes and making the most of the weekend markets – in short, the best memories that London meant for us. Day 09 – Chalk farm, Camden market in the morning, then British Museum, tea with S&C, and…

  • [Europe Winter 2022 – Day 06 – 07 – 08 – London]

    [Europe Winter 2022 – Day 06 – 07 – 08 – London]

    Summarising the rest of the London days into 2 blog posts (because it’s now the end of year celebrations and we’re all still pretty jetlagged!) 😛 It’s been a rollercoaster of experiences in London. I think I was expecting lots of nostalgia (which didn’t really happen), more excitement at the new buildings (which was sadly…

  • [Europe Winter 2022 – Day 05 – Paris – London]

    [Europe Winter 2022 – Day 05 – Paris – London]

    We caught the Eurostar from Paris to London bright and early in the morning. It was a very pleasant journey, although the train was delayed by 1 hour (you get *very little* compensation from Eurostar if your train has been delayed by anything longer than 60minutes, so we were glad ours was just at the…

  • [Europe Winter 2022 – Day 04 – Paris – Disneyland]

    [Europe Winter 2022 – Day 04 – Paris – Disneyland]

    Started the day with lots of anticipation for the “happiest place on earth”. It was a super cold and chilly day but that did not deter the girls from wearing their “fit” for Disneyland! These were the spots for the daily ‘fit check’ vlog that the girls are upkeeping. The girls had a lot of…

  • [Europe Winter 2022 – Day 03 – Paris – Champs Elysees]

    [Europe Winter 2022 – Day 03 – Paris – Champs Elysees]

    Our last full day in Paris (as it’s off to Disneyland the next day & then to London!), we could not go to the museums as planned, but instead did the most step count of the trip (24k + steps!) and walked along the Champs Elysees instead. But first the very unglamorous part of the…

  • [Europe Winter 2022 – Day 02 – Paris – Montmarte]

    [Europe Winter 2022 – Day 02 – Paris – Montmarte]

    We were so organised this trip – with tech savvy kids, we had all the ‘shared information’ bandied around – google sheets for the itinerary, google maps with bookmarks and tags, shared photo albums for a consolidated photos dump everyday (which went into the thousands!!)- which made last minute decisions of moving 1 day’s itinerary…
