Euro Trip - Austria

Honeymoon - Part 3

Date: 15 February 2010

Innsbruck

After visiting Verona, it was time for us to leave Italy and visit the next country, Austria.

The mountain view along the freeway!

Yeah!! We're here! Innsbruck - The town at the foot of the Alps!

Our stay in Austria was very short. We arrived there in the evening, the sun was already starting to set. However, it was a very beautiful place - I think it's my most favourite town for the entire trip. I love how it is located in the broad valley between high mountains. The snow capped mountains standing very close to the town is a very spectacular sight indeed!


Our first picture taking moment was with the famous Goldenes Dachl (Golden Roof) which was not exactly made of gold. It was constructed for Emperor Maximilian  in the 1500.


Next we visited the house of Leopold Mozart - the father to the famous musician, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart!


And of course, for shoppers, the must-visit Swarovski shop - the largest in the world.


The shop was decorated with winter and Christmas theme for the holidays.

It was difficult to get beautiful shots as the sun sets further behind the Alps... but we did our best!

The historical town and Alps!

When we can no longer see the beautiful mountains (too dark)... it was time to have our dinner in a chinese restaurant.

Pretending to know how to use the chopsticks!

Our hotel room was as cute and cosy as the town itself. Very old fashioned... love it!


The view from our room window in Hotel Alpinpark... isn't it amazing?~

Bald Rock National Park, NSW

Date : 3rd November 2013 Bald Rock is a 3-hours drive from Toowoomba and I have been thinking of visiting it since last year. But I was not sure if it was a suitable trip for an infant. However, it is the largest granite monolith in Australia, which means it is a must-go! So best buds, Julie Zac and Zayra came to visit on 1st November. Was not sure where to bring them around Toowoomba. Oh well, let's try hiking then! Sunscreen for everyone!: At first, I was thinking of bringing Kimi's stroller through the Bungoona Walk. The Summit Direct Walk would be out of the question. A lady who just got down advised that it was not a good idea... And thank God for that... (What was I thinking??!) We had a plate of fried rice each at the picnic table to fuel us with energy! The best thing was, my 2 year old son was just as excited as the adults. He wanted to walk (or run) on his own and made it to the top! After walking half way, the view started to become ver...

Book: Sushi for Beginners

-
Image
Date: 24 December 2010 Author: Marian Keyes She is definitely one of my favourite authors ever. The first book from her that I read was Under the Duvet, and the second was The Other Side of The Story - both I borrowed from UTM's library. She writes about characters with real life issues and manage to make the situation light although it's actually a dark topic. At the end of the day, readers will learn about complicated issues without feeling depressed. She delivers the message and adds humor to it - just brilliant! Plus, I learned a few Irish words! Sushi for Beginners is about the lives of 3 different ladies, all facing depressions. Different characters have a different coping mechanism. Synopsis: Lisa, a beautiful, career oriented lady is the b*tch boss from hell. She'll do whatever it takes to be the best at what she does, even if it means having no friends and family. The thing that drives her over the wall was when she actually sacrificed her marriage to ...
