The year is about to end and I haven't finished my UK travel journal yet, hehe! So here we go. We are now on Day 6 and it was another outdoor tour for us - this time, to the Scottish Highlands! One of the early bookings I made in preparation for our UK trip (and even before we applied for our visas) was the 1-Day Free Scottish Highlands Hairy Coo Tour. To answer ... READ MORE
UK Adventure Day 5: Exploring the Magical Edinburgh
We only had 2 days to explore Scotland, the northern part of UK, but it was enough to see the best of Edinburgh and part of the Highlands. Edinburgh is the capital of Scotland, with lots of old towns and villages that retained much of their original character as settlements. It's not hard to fall in love with Edinburgh, and now I understand why some of the travelers I know ... READ MORE
UK Adventure Day 4: Covent Garden + Trip to Edinburgh
We were back at exploring London on our 4th day, and we have the whole morning until mid-afternoon for sightseeing before we depart for Edinburgh (pronounced “Edin-brah”) in Scotland - by high speed train. Since the St. George Wharf Pier was just a walking distance from Travelodge Hotel in Vauxhall (our home in the last 4 days), our group took ... READ MORE
UK Adventure Day 3: Exploring the Traditional Cotswolds Villages and Oxford
I have always wanted to explore the English countryside, so when I found this small group tour of Traditional Cotswolds Villages and Oxford from Klook, I immediately booked it. To my surprise, it was the Rabbie's Cotwolds tour that I've been eyeing when we were planning our UK trip. So I was really happy that we will get to experience Rabbie's brand of service. Our ...

UK Adventure Day 2: Exploring Windsor, Bath and Stonehenge + More of London at Night
We booked Evan Evan Tours via Klook for our Windsor, Bath and Stonehenge Day Tour. If there's one thing I love about planning for our UK trip, it was the myriad of day tours available from London and at budget-friendly prices. For this tour, we have to be at the meet-up point (Victoria Station) by 7:30 a.m. since the bus leaves at exactly 8:00 a.m. First stop was ... READ MORE
UK Adventure Day 1: Exploring London via River Thames + Walking Tour of Buckingham Palace
Our DIY UK itinerary has a good mix of packed and relaxed days, which we laid down like this: the first 3.5 days were for exploring London and other places in England that are very accessible from London, such as Bath, Stonehenge and Oxford, after which we ventured far beyond England – to Edinburgh in Scotland – for 2 full days of sightseeing, and then back to London for ...

The Bright Spot’s UK Adventure
It has always been a dream of mine to visit England someday, since I seem to love almost everything about the country: the Beatles and the Royal Family, football, tea cups, Brit Pop, Harry Potter and Cath Kidston, and the English countryside. So when my college buddies Denise and her husband Roy invited us to join them in their England and Scotland trip ... READ MORE
An Unforgettable Meal at Wolfgang’s Steakhouse
Today is the last day of 2018, and I chose to write about my best dining experience this year - at Wolfgang's Steakhouse, Resort World Manila. AJ and I dined here last December 15, sort of an advance Christmas celebration, and a much deserved gift to ourselves - for surviving a difficult and challenging 2018. Our "date" at Wolfgang's was actually unplanned; we had an ... READ MORE
