Adieu to You
On my last day in Siem Reap, I once again went to the Old Market to buy another pair of baggy pants. After stumbling upon The Blue Pumpkin Bakery, I picked up some macarons. Unfortunately, they were sort of crunchy on the outside. Kaya Spa gave me a very good one hour candle massage for $25; … Continue reading
Knocked Off of My Bucket List
What prompted my trip to Cambodia was my question to other travel aficionados – what is the most amazing site that you’ve ever seen? About 98% responded with Angkor Wat. Machu Pichu ran a close second. Therefore, Cambodia got thrown into the midst of this year’s Thailand/Bali trip. It was time to get Angkor Wat … Continue reading
First Impression of Siem Reap
Believe it or not, after all of your patient waiting, I’m finally going to fill you in on Cambodia. My flight to Siem Reap from Denpasar via Air Asia required a layover in Kuala Lumpur. Though it was very tempting to buy an overpriced purse from Barbara Riehl at one of the shops, I parked myself … Continue reading
It’s Saturday – It Must be Seminyak
I was up kind of early on Saturday, not wanting to to wait too long to leave Ubud. Quite frankly, the longer I wait to leave Ubud, the more difficult it is. I didn’t have a driver, so simply walked outside the hotel to find a couple of guys hanging out there. They asked if … Continue reading
Friday is For…
Well, after another massage at Lily Spa, Friday was for lunch at Copper Kitchen (yup, had all 3 meals there) and more shopping. My lunch at Copper Kitchen was the Cheeseburger Sliders (black Angus beef, organic tomatoes and chipotle mayonnaise), followed by the Cereal Milk Panna Cotta (chocolate cookie base, coffee crunch). The sliders were … Continue reading
No Photos!
Though I took plenty of photos, as per my usual, they were NOT compliments of the scheduled photography tour. After someone from Honeymoon Guesthouse picked me up from A.’s house the night before and after getting up extra early to shower, pack my camera equipment AND have breakfast, the photography tour guide did NOT show … Continue reading
Bali, I’m Back!
The Wednesday morning Air Asia flight to Denpasar was without incident. It wasn’t the freak fest that it had been last year. It still felt strange landing at the new airport, which completely lacks the true Balinese ambience of the old airport. My luggage took forever to show up on the baggage carousel, but I … Continue reading
Being Taken For a (Tuk Tuk) Ride
On Tuesday I ventured out in search of two things – the Amulet Market and Wat Arun. I have a complex about hailing cabs in countries where I believe they will try to rip me off, but there wasn’t going to be any other way for me to get to where I had to go, … Continue reading
Hangin’ in the Hood
On Monday, I was still in relaxation mode. I didn’t feel like wandering far from my Sathorn neighborhood. Being an avid fan of TripAdvisor, many people had recommended Le Spa, a few doors down from the condo. They seemed to have opened at 10:00 a.m. and I walked in around 10:30 a.m. A couple of … Continue reading
