My hubby and I stayed at the W hotel in our recent trip to Barcelona. The hotel has a stunning view where it overlooks the beautiful Mediterranean sea.
Our experiences with W Barcelona was Wonderful! Friendly Staffs, Conveniently Located (bus stop just outside of the hotel) and most important, the spectacular rooms in the hotel.
We highly recommend you to visit the W hotel when you are in Barcelona!
Hakone is a small town that is about 100 kilometres from Tokyo. It is famous for its hot spring and natural beauty.
For our recent trip to Tokyo, we decided to take a detour to Hakone for its hot spring. The easiest way to get there is by Shinkansen (bullet train). We took the train from Tokyo station and it took about 40 mins to Hakone train station, then we had to take another local Mountain Train which took us up to the mountain. The resort we reserved is tucked away in the lush mountains of Hakone.
We stayed at Hakone-Ginyu Ryokan. Ryokan is a type of traditional Japanese inn with a tatami-matted rooms. Visitors must wear yukata when visit communal baths and other public areas.
The view from the resort is spectacular; we were surrounded by Hakone Mountains with Haya-Kawa River below. It is the most amazing Zen experience.
In the common area, there are two communal hot spring baths, one for male and one for female, the bath tubs were made with beautifully crafted stones. It was our first hot spring experience. I must said I really enjoyed the soaking and I felt so relax for the rest of the day
I will recommend anyone visiting Japan to experience the hot spring.
I want to be happier, but I always get upset by small things.
I want to be healthier, but I can’t turn away from junk food.
I want to travel more, but I have limited vacations.
I want to save more, but there are so many beautiful things to buy.
I want to laugh more, but it gets harder as I have more responsibilities.
Sometimes I wonder how I can live and enjoy my life more…
Relax, Stop Worrying and Smile…Live, Laugh, Love!
We visited Sant Pau restaurant during our recent trip to Barcelona. The restaurant is owned by the top Spanish female chef Carme Ruscalleda. She is known for creating unique dishes by combining her imagination with traditional Catalan ingredients.
The restaurant is located in a small town “Sant Pol de Mar”, which you can get there by taking a train that runs along the Mediterranean Sea.
We were the first customers arrive that day, so they seated us by the centre of the restaurant, where we overlook the beautiful courtyard and the Mediterranean Sea. The décor of the restaurant is very warm and elegant, it matched perfectly with the views.
We ordered the Tasting Menu which costs €146 per person, it comprises of 13 courses. The lunch and dinner menu were the same, I would recommend going for lunch instead of dinner, because it takes about 3 hours to serve all the courses, and you can also enjoy the beautiful views during the day time.
The tasting menu came with a story board which explains the menu and we got to keep it with us.
The food was exquisite and all dishes were beautifully plated, some were like work of arts. We had an amazing time trying each course.
Service was great, we had 3 people served us and they were very attentive. The restaurant also paid a lot of attention to the little details, such as having a little stool for the purse.
Chef Carme Ruscalleda is at the restaurant every day, she came out after the desserts to thank the guests for coming and we got to take a photo with her.
Overall it was a very memorable experience; it is worth the trip to visit her restaurant as per the Michelin Star Guide – exceptional cuisine, worth a special journey.
I think this year is going to be a different year for me. Although I
had a rough start, but I am sure it will get better.
When i was a little girl, my goal was to become a doctor. My dream stopped at grade 10 after I dropped out from my biology class.
Now I have a new dream, and I hope this time my dream will come true
Nothing happens unless first a dream.
Dreams become Reality = Miracle.
Happy 2011!
