Poznań in Poland is a gorgeous historical city. It is colourful, clean, and totally camera friendly. The Main Square in the Old Town is, in itself, packed with museums, monuments, and historical landmarks that tell a tale of Poland’s past, and definitely worth visiting. I have arrived in Poznań from Berlin. I am staying at Blooms Inn and Apartments, a charming, historical “Flower…

Reunification. Berlin Germany
It’s the start of my annual whirlwind trip across countries. My first stop is Berlin via Frankfurt on Qatar Airways. Within an hour after landing I’m on a DB ICE train bound for Berlin. Just over four hours later I’m at my destination, my first trip to Berlin and I check into the Allegra Hotel (located in East Berlin). Like…
Fjords and Frozen Ice. Ilulissat Greenland
It’s another day with -20C weather yet the sun shines valiantly taking away the chill and lighting up this amazing destination. And we are all excited for yet another adventure. We get a message saying the seas are rough and to keep our fingers crossed that it will calm down by afternoon. By the time…
Roadtripping. Reykjavik Iceland
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…
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 =…
Stunning Golden Circle. Iceland
It is another cold day in Iceland. The temperature is 1C. And we are well togged up to hit the road again! We are on our way along Iceland’s Golden Circle, a 300-kms drive that will take us to three of the country’s most popular attractions. But before we get there, we stop plenty of…
Land of Fire and Ice. Iceland
“Iceland is not a destination, but an adventure” Iceland has been on my bucket list for the longest time. Having heard (and seen photographs) of its rugged landscape and sharp contrasts, where fire and ice co-exist, where dark winter nights are equipoised by summer’s midnight sun, where nature’s extreme forces are considered to be a…
