While Sri Lanka celebrates a New Year, we pack up and get ready to drive back to Reykjavik. And look…no snow! Our journey back to Reykjavik is approximately 250 kms but we take our time, stopping along the way for many more pics. As I have mentioned before, the weather and landscape changes so dramatically…

Family Fun. Bangkok Thailand
Back in Bangkok, I am off to Siam Park City for the launch of ‘Family Fun’, Thailand’s newest tourism promotional campaign targeting families from ASEAN countries, South Asia and South Pacific during the ‘Green Season’. This season is when Thailand’s interior landscape comes to life with lush, verdant views and offers tourists another side to…
Sun. Sand. Sea. Snorkelling. Racha Island Thailand
This is my last day in Phuket. Despite last night’s rain, today is turning out to be a scorcher with the temperature expected to reach 33C. But, after spending my past few weeks in -20C weather (which is another story altogether) I’m relishing this warmth. Today we are being taken to Racha Island and I’m…
Wonderful Karon Beach. Phuket Thailand
The day starts clear and bright with a tinge of wetness in the air. My littoral hotel, the stunning tropically scenic Mövenpick Resort & Spa at Karon Beach adds just the right ambiance to Phuket’s wonderful weather. Courtesy of #TATSriLanka and the Tourism Authority of Thailand, I am enjoying the luxury of the Penthouse Plunge Pool…
Island of Tricks and Treats. Phuket Thailand
I start the day with magic! Located in Phuket town, the Trickeye 3D Museum is an interactive experience that stimulates creativity and imagination. I, along with everyone else, was asked to remove our shoes and walk in barefoot. The cement floor is spotlessly clean and cooling. But it is what’s hanging on the walls (and…
Family Fun and Adventure. Phuket Thailand
On invitation courtesy Tourism Authority of Thailand Sri Lanka Office, I joined travel bloggers from across ten regional countries to experience the magic and wonder that ‘Amazing Thailand’ has to offer, especially to families traveling with children of all ages. Thailand, in fact, is most popular for uninterrupted shopping, sunny seashores and musical concerts. But…
Daring Dogsledding. Ilulissat Greenland
Today I go dogsledding! The outside temperature is -20C. And I am rugged up in the three required layers – thermals from top to toe, down jacket and windproof/waterproof jacket and pants. But prior to setting off on our adventure, we put on another layer of sealskin from top to toe. I now know what a…
Snow White and Blue Skies. Ilulissat Greenland
“When you’ve seen the world there’s always Greenland” From the moment we decided to spend a few days in Greenland, my impatience knew no bounds. I have no idea what to expect, to see or experience. But in my heart, I knew the decision was right and seeing is believing. Leaving Iceland from the Reykjavik…
What Weather! Vatnajökulsþjóðgarður and Jökulsárlón Iceland
I look out of the bedroom window and all I see is snow! But not for long. As we head towards the Skaftafell Nature Reserve the weather changes drastically and the snow completely disappears. That’s the beauty of Iceland!
Rainbows and Waterfalls. Iceland
It’s day three in this stunningly beautiful country. Today is another clear, cold day, but I am not expecting it to stay like this for long. Back in the vehicle, we are on the road again. Our first stop is at the glacier volcano of Eyjafjallajokull, (eyja = island, fjall = mountain and jökull =…
