One More Half Day in Positano

For those of you who followed through our crazy 3 weeks trip through snowy Switzerland, storybook-like French town/village of Colmar and Eguisheim, tulip blooming Netherland, desert trekking in Sahara, colorful island of Procida, and southern Italy Matera to the Amalfi Coast, we finally came to the last installment of our trip 😦 Don’t be sad,…

Amalfi Coast – Positano!

Before our long drive back to the coast – Amalfi Coast, we made a stop at the panoramic view of Matera (we went there the day before late afternoon and the city was in shadow). Morning light provided great photo ops of the Sassi from this side of the valley! Goodbye Matera! Our 4-hour journey…

Matera Day Trip to Castelmezzano and Alberobello

Good morning Matera, it was finally clear sky! Early in the morning, we walked to Chiesa di San Pietro Caveoso as the sun light up the stone colored Sassi. We walked the S-curve road hugging the cliff of Matera and on the other side, I can see clearly the small canyon underneath the Sassi. The sun…

The Sassi of Matera

After our wonderful breakfast, we checked out and rolled our luggage up those stairs to wait for the bus…thinking to save from the transfer cost of €15. We waited, waited and waited for over half an hour and the bus did not show up! We were getting nervous and a lady at the bus stop saw us…

Procida: Just Like in Windows Wallpaper

After Morocco, we headed to an island off the coast of Naples, Italy called Procida. When people talk about islands around Naples, the most famous one is Capri. We didn’t go to Capri, instead, we went to Procida. Why Procida? I bet most of you never even heard of this place. I found out about…

Amsterdam – Bridges, Canals, and Windmills

I finally had a great night sleep on the luxurious bed in the InterContinental Amstel Amsterdam Hotel! Isn’t our room beautiful? The bathroom is huge, it was like the same size of the room we stayed in the previous night in Lisse! The shape of this toilet is very odd LOL! Early in the morning,…

Biking around the tulip fields

It has been one of my bucket lists to bike around the tulip fields in Netherlands and it came true! Early in the morning, we walked out in search for breakfast…urg nothing really opens this early in the morning. However, there was a local market being set up right in the center street of the…

Keukenhof – The World of Tulips

We have been to Europe in March, May, June, July, August, but never April until this year due to Morocco. When I was routing our itinerary to transit through Europe to Morocco (since it was cheaper to fly to Europe and then Europe to Morocco), I originally planned a week in Switzerland but the hotel…

Day trip to Eguisheim, another colorful village!

We had almost another day in the colorful town of Colmar as our bus back to Zurich was at 5:25 pm. There is a direct bus route operated by FlixBus from Colmar to Zurich, actually, the route started all the way from Frankfurt making multiple stops en route to Zurich. FlixBus is a cheap way…
