  • MasterChef Australia!!!

    After coming back from a wonderful hectic holiday all I wanted to do was to stay at home, have some massages and eat home cooked food. Don’t get me wrong … I loved the lovely variety of food that we consumed being it Greek to Italian to Chinese to French but after a while I…

  • Crete

    By now we are all experts at ferry transfers so no problem on that side. This Seajet was the nicest of the lot… bigger, roomier and we had a butler to serve us!!! The only problem was that the weather had turned a bit so the sea was very choppy and the boat was rolling…

  • (Hardly) Saintly in Santorini!!!

    We arrived by ferry from Mykonos and had a very good experience. I had read up on Tripadvisor a number of reviews about the ferry journey between the islands and they were so bad that I was dreading this but I am happy to say that it wasn’t bad at all…. the crew were quite…

  • MYKONOS

    We reached Mykonos after a rather harrowing ferry journey mainly due to the fact that I can’t travel light… well no let me rephrase that… I don’t like to load up a suitcase too heavily so I prefer to carry 2 smaller suitcases rather than one huge one. Which is fine when there are porters…

  • ATHENS… 2024

    I normally go on a Girlie Trip at least once a year and we started off with Thailand, Singapore, Bali and then we ventured East and went on a couple of cruises and our last trip was to Croatia and Slovenia. Our feet started getting itchy so we decided to plan a trip to Greece….…

  • January 2024 – Goa

    So the New Year started with a bang as it was my sister Suman’s landmark birthday… her big seven oh 70th!! She was extremely keen on taking our whole family away to Goa on a holiday and I think she started planning it about a year in advance. Now getting everyone together is no feat…

  • My travels….2024

    I have always loved travelling, visiting new places, eating the local cuisines and basically getting to know a bit about the culture of the place. I have had the opportunity to travel quite extensively first with my husband and then with our whole family. We always tried to go on a couple of holidays a…

  • Movie Review….Do aur Do Pyar

    This film stars Vidya Balan playing Kavya who is married to Anirudh played by Pratik Gandhi. Ileana D’Cruz and Sendhil are the two love interests of Kavi and Ani. So Kavi and Ani fall in love much to the disgust of her strict South Indian family and elope and get married and move to Mumbai. So…

  • Christmas 2023 Cont.

    So the Christmas presents are all opened and we all proceed to a nice boozy lunch… without the grandkids who prefer to stay at home and enjoy all their gifts. Also since our lunch extends to about three and a half hours they quite rightly point out that they would get bored. So what is…
