Travel to Nerja

Nerja is a place we seldom heard of, thus I have go search online for some information about Nerja.

Nerja is a municipality on the Costa del Sol in the province of Málaga, Andalusia, southern Spain. It is on the country's southern Mediterranean coast, about 50 km east of Málaga and within 1 ½ hours drive of Granada, you will find Nerja, the touristic capital of the Axarquia.

With its mild climate, you can enjoy yourself to the full all year round and take advantage of the relaxed way of life of a village that still retains much of the character of its moorish past.

Since it's a place where we are not familiar with, I have to be extra careful when choosing Nerja hotels. I come across holiday-rentals.co.uk when doing my searching, and found that they are the UK's number one holiday rentals site.

If we are going there in a group, we can book Nerja apartments to stay in too! I will have to plan my holiday to Nerja early to get everything well prepared!

Town of history - Melaka

Last month, hubby and I went to Melaka for a short trip. We have longed to visit this town of history, but the plans before used to failed due to the fact that most of us think that Melaka has nothing much to see. And the actual fact is that the town of Melaka is really very small, one can always finished sight-seeing the city by driving for at most 10 minutes! Visiting Malacca is a unique experience; its rich historical background earned it a World Heritage Site designation in July 2008.

Overall, this trip consist of eat and see only, no shopping was done! We also found that the sun is stronger in Melaka, we sweated like pig! We sweat when we eat, sweat when we walk around, sweat once walking out of the hotel's room. Gosh, I can't stand hot since I have allergy skin, I'll start feeling itchy when I feel too hot. Try imagine a monkey walking on the street? LOL.

However, though it's air is warm in Melaka, I'm sure I'll be back (to eat)!!!

Hong Kong trip - Day 5

Soon, it comes to the last day. Our relatives were so great, they came to our hotel to have breakfast with us at the restaurant on the 3rd floor of the hotel.





After eating dim-sum, I ventured into the restaurant's toilet. The toilet was even nicer compared to the hotel's toilet! And we were to flush the toilet bowl using a touchless flushing sensor - so high-tech!

The 5-star toilet with touchless flushing sensor


We check-out our room after the breakfast, catch our last minutes shopping at Mongkok!

By 2.30pm, we sat ourselves in the free transit to Kowloon station, and took Airport Express to the Hong Kong Airport.

Farewell, Hong Kong!

Hong Kong trip - Day 4

Wow, it took so long for me to upload the 4th day's photos.

Well, the 4th day is our Disneyland Day! This particular day, Hong Kong started to get warmer, and we were burned in the afternoon. We stayed and enjoy in Disneyland for a whole day and went to Hollywood Hotel which is one of the HK Disneyland's hotel to have buffet dinner.

Before we took MTR to Disneyland, we had our breakfast at a restaurant in the shopping mall next to the hotel. This is the best dim-sum restaurant we have been to during our stay in Hong Kong.

The Jade Garden





After breakfast, we took MTR to Disneyland. The Disneyland train that ferry us to Disneyland was fully decorated with everything in Mickey Mouse's shape!

Heading to Disneyland


Disneyland is kids' wonderland, but we do enjoy everything there. It's like we have entered a fairyland! I snapped thousands of pics! Everything is so nice, so fairy-tale......



We went into the souvenirs shop, and snapped photos again! LOL! However, I do bought a lock and key there. When walking around within the shop, I discovered a denim bag with Mickey Mouse design, I like it at first sight! But I think it's too expensive, so I drop the idea. I was so in love with the bag until I accidentally carried it out of the shop without knowing about it!!! But still, I was so stingy, I don't think it worth buying.

In the souvenir shop


Throughout the day, we only managed to catch 4 cartoon characters for photo session. When we first reached there, Mickey and Minnie was there, but the queue is too long for us to wait. We thought we could meet them again later, but no more! But then, we were lucky enough to get others!

Photo session with carton characters



We watch some shows too! High School Musical Show, Lion King Show and The Stitch Show. The Stitch Show is the funniest but video recording was not allow, so can't show you all how funny. Be sure to watch the show when you go Disneyland!

High School Musical Show

Lion King Show


There are many rides in Disneyland, we didn't take all. We chose those recommended by their staff.

It's a small world - Boat ride


The river cruise - the animals seem real but they aren't!



When it comes to 3pm, when the parade will be on, most of the place on the road side filled up with people. We were fortunate to get a shady place too!






When it's getting darker, we sat down waiting for the firework! The firework is amazing!!!

The wonderful firework


Right after the firework, we didn't go back to the city. We headed toward Hollywood Hotel in Disneyland to enjoy our buffet dinner. They have made many foods in Mickey Mouse's shape. The tables and chairs are with Mickey Mouse's shape too. The best thing to have in the buffet is the Alaska Crab Leg - it's tasty and expensive if you were to buy other place!





We met up with Goofy just outside the restaurant, we took turn to snap photos and off we went to the shuttle bus station waiting for the bus to ferry us back to MTR station. That ends our day!
