Wanderlust drives us to faraway lands, interesting waters. And add them to our travel memoirs
We reached Musee Du Louvre at 4.30pm after having spent the whole morning at the Chateau de Versailles. Jayant was not interested in going in. For me though, Louvre was The Destination!!! So we decided that while he and Ridi took a stroll in the Park outside, I would go […]
Nice was expensive … especially so when you are trying to book hotels around the Cannes Film unknowingly. With limited choice, I picked a fairly well rated Résidence Hôtelière Ajoupa Baie des Anges at Rue Massena at 90 per night for a superior studio. The location is just fantastic and […]

We are stopping by Loch Ness tonight. That is Lake Ness in the highlands of Scotland. It’s a small village of not more than 2000 people, called Drumnadrochit. Another of the dream-like villages, with mostly white painted two-floored thatched houses, the country side has been rendered green with rains. spot […]
