Plus, I bet you are now tired of frequenting the mall or going on those summer trips + swimming outings, you’d rather spend the weekend on a quite, serene + cultured museum in the city. One of the best things to do this summer, if you’d ask me!

Museums from all over the world, including America, Africa, Europe + Asia, with 30,000 museums in more than 100 countries have all participated to affirm the popularity of this event.

If I am anywhere near a participating museum, I would definitely love to be part of this momentous celebration! 🙂

Cruising the Caribbean

Leave a reply

If you’re looking to explore the Caribbean, why stay put when you can travel from one island to another and get spoiled rotten in the process? Caribbean cruises offer some of the most extravagant and unashamedly luxurious holidays that you have ever encountered: it’s an elaborate experience designed to put everything right at your fingertips and give you a holiday to remember, and it definitely delivers.

There are numerous cruise operators offering Caribbean itineraries, each putting their own slant on luxury. While some companies such as Celebrity cruises typically operate around Europe and the Mediterranean, others such as Princess Cruises routinely venture out to explore the balmy waters of the Caribbean, taking in such delights as Aruba, Dominica and St Lucia.

Famous for their high level of service, top-notch facilities and exquisite cuisine, you’ll certainly be well looked after every step (or knot) of the way on a Caribbean cruise, which is especially important when spending so much time at sea. You’ll have plenty to do as the ships are well-equipped with plenty of facilities, ranging from fitness centres and pools to Broadway-style musicals and cinema screenings, and you’re also likely to come home several pounds heavier thanks to the never-ending supply of sumptuous food, snacks and delicious calorie-laden treats on offer.

If this tickles your fancy you shouldn’t have any problem finding Caribbean cruises online to suit your personal preferences. Many tour operators regularly offer discounts on online bookings and if you’re looking for a bargain, you can often find last-minute bookings and late deals to help make things that little bit easier. Most cruises are operated on a full board basis with all meals, accommodation and flights included, which helps to keep your finances on control.

So whatever you want from your Caribbean holiday, why not try a cruise and find out the true meaning of luxury?

tuesday travels: ninoy aquino parks + wildlife center

What better way to cool down during a hot scorching summer afternoon than to hit the nearest park, well in our case, The Ninoy Aquino Parks + Wildlife Center. It was a bit out-of-the-way I know, but it was one of those random days when we’ve got nothing planned + went on where our wanderlusts lead us, + this particular tourist attraction is one of the few places Jared’s dad + I used to frequented + I kind of  missed it!  Oh well, it turned out to be one afternoon the little man enjoyed!

We arrived there a little before 3pm, I guess, + although the sun is up as usual, the shades provided by the lush greenery is enough for us to wander around without getting a sunburn. The little man went on to explore the vast park, running here + there. He was drenched in sweat in a matter of minutes but he simply won’t stop. 🙂

Jared saw bamboo trees for the first time + was in awe of those big plants, not to mention the interesting sounds they make. He was also in awe of the pond in the middle of the park + was actually attempting to take a dip, glad mum is a step quicker than he was! When he saw stray cats around, he quickly made to run after them, even attempting to follow a black one who ran for cover underneath one of the huts. 😉

It was unfortunate that the mini zoo was already closed when we arrived but we managed to view some of the birds housed in a couple of aviaries + the little man was in peals of giggles at the sight of these beautiful creatures.

The Ninoy Aquino Parks + Wildlife Center is perfect for a family picnic what with a number of picnic huts + picnic tables scattered around, I made a mental note to bring some food the next time we visit. For the grandeur of nature around it that makes for a wonderful photo shoot site, the park has also been a hit to photographers. We actually encountered a number of them in this particular visit, including a group of anime teenagers who were busy taking their photos in their funky costumes + wild-colored hair!

I only wish we’d came a little earlier so we’d have more time to roam around + that I’d been able to pocket the camera onto my eco-bag, too, we could’ve  had more photos of the beautiful spots there. Oh well, hopefully we can go + visit again some time soon!
