Just like that time has flown by and I'm back home in Melbourne... The last week in Vancouver was a whirlwind but it was good to see friends and family again. My flight back was uneventful, thank goodness! I also did a self-imposed quarantine when I came back and have now been out and about, … Continue reading Annndd… it’s been 3 weeks back in Melbs

Last week in Paris for 2021
We land but there is a technical difficulty with the door. That's fixed. Then, there is a technical difficulty with the jet bridge. At this point the little kid says loudly "Ohhh la la c'est pas possible". LOL Wow they didn't even check nor ask for any PLF forms at the airport....wow. I just go … Continue reading Last week in Paris for 2021
Moseying over to chill…in Madrid
Easy to catch the metro into the city from the train station 🙂 It's a bit of a walk from the tracks to the Metro but it's all connected. You do need to get a card and then load money/tickets onto it. TIP: There is an option to get a pack of 10 tickets and … Continue reading Moseying over to chill…in Madrid
Galloping off to Greece!
Got ready and got to the airport seamlessly. Couldn't change to an earlier flight though i was early. However I was only allowed 1 small clear bag to put my lotions and liquids! So aggravating as I bought stuff in advance and sis and I took the time to put in bottles and other flights … Continue reading Galloping off to Greece!

Moseying over to Montpellier
Day 1: Went by train from Toulouse to Montpellier and it was seamless 🙂 Got to Carnon beach via the T3 tram line and the navette (free shuttle) - Very easy and good connections. It is set up very similarly to Toulouse so that made it simple to understand. Cheap pricing too: 1,60€ each way. … Continue reading Moseying over to Montpellier
Leaving Lyon – Day 5 of 5
Packed up early at 6:30am and then walked off to the Parc de Tete d’Or. Gorgeous, massive park super close to the city. You really do feel like you’re away from the city with lots of greenery around you and there’s a zoo too!  It reminded me of Stanley park 🙂 After that, I walked home … Continue reading Leaving Lyon – Day 5 of 5
Gallivanting off to Grenoble – Day 4 of 5
After a nice catch up with my sis in the morning over video call, I went to Marché Saint Antoine on the river banks.  On the west side, it’s all art and stuff. They were pretty but not for me.  I was disappointed and crossed the bridge to get ready to walk to the bus station when … Continue reading Gallivanting off to Grenoble – Day 4 of 5
Long, full day in Lyon: Day 3 of 5
The only full I had in Lyon and I enjoyed a sleep in 🙂 I still woke up before 9am and was out the door shortly after.  Passed by the Fresco City de Lyonnais and it was cool 🙂 I went straight to the Marché Croix-Rousse and it was massive! It was an outdoor market stretching along much … Continue reading Long, full day in Lyon: Day 3 of 5
Lunch of all lunches in Lyon: Day 2 of 5
After powering through some work in the morning, I popped on a presentable dress to take myself out to the meal I was looking forward to the most: the 1 Michelin star French-Korean fusion restaurant, Le Passe Temps. I’ll jump to the point here: It did not disappoint!! While personally I didn’t see the Korean influences so much, it … Continue reading Lunch of all lunches in Lyon: Day 2 of 5
