    A European Dream - Disney Dream Med 2023 5/20-5/27 - update 11/21

    Yes, we did. We were originally going to come to Germany by train, but then we were barred from going to Belgium and then to France. The cheapest way to get to Germany by air was flying to Cologne so we added a bonus day there. That really surprises me. Holiday Park was a bit larger, but...

    A European Dream - Disney Dream Med 2023 5/20-5/27 - update 11/21

    We flew into and out of Cologne, which is how I know that there are often crazy cheap tickets available on this route. I have very fond memories of this, too. I would happily eat a Spaghetti -Eis right now. Technically the closes proper park was Holiday Park, but even then Phantasialand was in...

    A European Dream - Disney Dream Med 2023 5/20-5/27 - update 11/21

    I have many happy memories from there from my childhood. Breakfast looks amazing. That is normally my take on the matter. I love their stuff, but did not know that they had Disney options, too. I can imagine that this was entertaining. I am not sure if it is still the same ride, but my...

    A European Dream - Disney Dream Med 2023 5/20-5/27 - update 11/21

    I definitely made progress. Pretty much everything is done apart from the packing and that is about 80% complete. I just need to add a couple of things to the suitcase and sort out the hand luggage and personal item. I think this should be doable in about 10 hours. I think we had to change at...

    A European Dream - Disney Dream Med 2023 5/20-5/27 - update 11/21

    Checking in. Thanks for the bat signal. I have to come back to this once I am back from my Med cruise. Somehow this crept up on me and I am nowhere near ready. I am glad that you made it to Cologne OK even with a few stops and starts. This is such a great city. I do however wonder who in their...

    Amy's (Non-Disney) Designs - Part IV

    I finally get the cruise again. Could I please trouble you for a t-shirt design? Could it please say "The Ball Family On The High Seas Again" and "Sky Princess Seacation September 2021". I also would love a magnet design saying "Twenty-Nine Cruises And Counting" and "Sky Princess Seacation...

    Tasting The Spice Of South East Asia

    Day 12 The time had come to pack up yet again and embark onto the third and final part of this trip. We both woke up around 7:30. We had nowhere to be anytime soon, so we just relaxed for a bit. We got up around an hour later, got ready and packed. We stayed in the room until around 9:30 and...

    Tasting The Spice Of South East Asia

    After lunch, we carried on walking towards the main road where bus stop is. Graham pointed out all kinds of landmarks and entertained me with stories from his childhood. A lot of the area is still very much the same, but other parts have changed. Unfortunately, we just managed to miss a bus, but...

    Tasting The Spice Of South East Asia

    Day 11 We had no particular plans for this day. There were a few things that we wanted to take care of, but we decided to kind of take things as they came. I managed to sleep a little longer that day, but was awake around 7:00. Graham was still fast asleep, and I saw no need to change this. I...

    Tasting The Spice Of South East Asia

    Day 10 After walking for miles, the previous two days, a more relaxing day was called for. Despite my relatively late night, I was awake before Graham again. I checked out the best way to get to Sentosa and then read until Graham was awake, too. Once he was on the move, we got ready and headed...

    Tasting The Spice Of South East Asia

    I really love it. I was so lucky that this was on while we were there. We are doing great. I worked from home from mid-March until July 6th and Graham from the end of March until the middle of June. Graham is back in the office full time and I currently spent 3 days working in the office and...

    Tasting The Spice Of South East Asia

    Once we had finished at the exhibition, we were definitely ready for some food. Breakfast was a distant memory at that stage. Another recommendation from my local contact was Satay by the Bay. I was a little bit surprised by this, but decided to give it a go as we were in the vicinity anyway...

    Tasting The Spice Of South East Asia

    Our next destination was in the Marina Bay area. We got off the MRT at the closest station to the Marina Bay Sands Hotel, but bypassed the hotel. Instead we cut through the shopping mall. Graham just shook his head. This makes the shops at the likes of the Mall at Millennia or the Dubai Mall...

    Tasting The Spice Of South East Asia

    I was awake bright and early again. While Graham was still sleeping, I figured out the best way to get onto the MRT network. I really did not fancy the walk to the closest MRT station again. The walk was not exactly scenic. Fortunately, it did not take me long to research that there were...

    Tasting The Spice Of South East Asia

    I was definitely spoiled for temples this trip. There are more to come. I tried to take a photo of the necklace, but it keeps blurring is it is so intricate. I managed to find a photo online. Mine is the same, but my dragon is silver rather than gold: Corinna

    Tasting The Spice Of South East Asia

    There was one last temple I wanted to see, which according to Google Maps was very close. As we were heading in that general direction, we came across a kiosk selling cheese tea. I did not need any convincing. We both had a jasmine cheese tea. It was tasty, very refreshing and definitely hit the...
