Nagaon – a sleepy sunday
Currently I am spending my life as forced bachelor with Pamela ‘n’ Aarush at Durg. I was looking for an outing from a long time as completely burn-out with new and old responsibilities at personal and professional level. Spending weekends, doing absolutely nothing other than sleeping and delaying all household work for next weekend. Made [...]
Berlin Diary- Potsdam
Today sun and clouds chase each other across the skies along the shores of Berlin as it glides past. We decided to visit Potsdam city situated on southwest of Berlin known for Sanssouci (without worries) palace; reached there by train. As we were short of time having our return ticket to Paris same evening we [...]
Berlin Diary II
Freshened up to kick start our day and decided to go through past of Germany. Took metro and got off at Potsdamer platz. Had coffee at Starbucks just outside the metro exit as it was too cold. From here we walked to Checkpoint Charlie – a crossing point between East and West Germany during the [...]
Berlin Diary
Today while leafing through the pages of our album found yet another trip waiting to be jotted down before it gets erased from our memory. A trip to Berlin where present and past are in sync once again. We went there for 3days- 2 nights stay by train on Easter weekend when sky was gloomy [...]
Milan shopping – trip came to end
Time to say Ciao, a presto (bye, see u soon) to Venice!!! Although we knew it might never be soon again. With happy mood we left for Milan from where we started our memorable journey. We boarded Euro-star for which we had to make advance reservation. Indisputably it was the best train we boarded in [...]
Venice at leisure
Next day, when we woke up, were very happy to see blue sky after two days of grey sky. Around 9.00 AM we came by boat to hot-spot St. Mark’s Square. St. Mark’s Basilica which is Byzantine influenced was too crowded to visit that time and unfortunately in evening we ran out of time and [...]
Half day at Florence and Venice
After spending three nights in Florence it was time to move on. We packed and checked out, keeping our luggage in the hotel. We walked towards Palazzo Vecchio (Piazza della Signoria) – city square adorned with fine arts. Basically, Florence is full of timeless beauty which can keep you captivated. Close to this square is [...]
Siena
There are plenty of places to explore in Tuscan region from Florence as day trip. We decided to visit Siena which is only one hour. Reason for choosing Siena was for its medieval beauty; in that era Siena and Florence were at war when Florence defeated Siena. Travel by road through Tuscan region is really [...]
Florence
Yesterday, late evening when we reached Florence it was drizzling and continued raining during the night. We got up to find grey sky – a very big disappointment compared to last few days as we had picture perfect blue sky. We also had to take out light jackets as temperature dropped. The hotel we stayed [...]
An afteroon at Pisa
Being exhausted from last evening we got up bit late and had very good breakfast before hitting the road. According to our itinerary, distance to be covered was long one as our hotel was booked at Florence. We took train to La Spezia, it was a crowded, got packed with each passing stations of Cinque [...]
