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.

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 [...]
Remembering Belgium
While categorizing our old travelogs I found there was no post on Belgium which values a lot for me. As I go down the memory lane……year 2003, within 2 ½ months of marriage we have to move to Paris from US which was a big change for me. Apart from the cultural shock, language was [...]

Rainy Sunday
This picture was taken from my phone camera when I went to do our weekly vegetable shopping in APMC [Agro Product Market] close to Vashi. Prices for every vegetables went up. Due to lack of infrastructure it was a shame to see so much wastage due to heavy rain. From the posture of the seller [...]

It's here that you find freshly picked fruit and vegetables, fresh fish from Brittany and Normandy, meat, flowers, farmhouses cheeses, breads – you name it … its there. Food controls are very strict in France and be assured of their quality and cleanliness of [...]
Hotel Train Lisbon to Madrid
We were at the very last phase of our vacation. We took train back to Madrid tonight as from there we had our flight back to Paris. We booked the train ticket long back; I went in-person to get the same from Spanish Railway ticket office based in Paris. The office is kind of hidden [...]
Lisbon – Portugal
Second day at Lisbon, as we had covered most of the top attractions on day one we started our day in ease, but I am sure lot of people might not agree with us on easy going part. We headed towards Colombo Shopping Mall which is one of the largest shopping mall in Europe and [...]
