The most economical way to cruise Lake Geneva is to take one of these cute yellow Mouette waterbuses which are part of the public transportation in Geneva. It only takes a few minutes to cross from the left to the right bank. The are 4 harbour points that are conveniently located. . . Geneva is often regarded as an expensive city to visit compared to other European cities. To some extent this is true. However, Geneva is the only city that I have been to where I accessed Free transport. * Airport to the City; * Free transport card for the duration of my stay which entitled me to use the trams, local trains and the mouette as many times as I wanted. . . Read more on a 3-day itinerary in Geneva, click link in bio ⬆️ . . . I have not been everywhere, so I do not know, therefore I have a question for my fellow Wanderlusters: Have you been to a city/town/or any part of the world where you did not have to pay for something?

A getaway in Geneva can be anything you want it to be - adventure, romantic getaway or simply a lazy city break! Well, we thought of having it all! And we did! . . A romantic 3-day City break + full-day adventure in a neighbouring country turned out to be awesome. Find out what we got up to in my latest updated blog-“A Perfect Romantic 3-Day Itinerary in Geneva” - Link in bio ⬆️ I have shared my memories on Geneva a couple of times now because it was one of our best value for money holidays as well as great memories to look back to, so much so that I am planning a re-visit.

It’s July 1st and it’s an awesome sunny day in London! I thought I’d share with you one of my favourite locations in London. . . . Not many know this place, equally not many are strangers here. This hidden gem is located between Oxford Street and Wigmore Street in Marylebone, Central London. This photo was taken couple of weeks ago. . . St Christopher’s Place is regarded as rather high end and trendy, tucked away from the busy touristy spots of Oxford Street. It is pedestrianised, has many open restaurants, offering great choices in cuisines and brunches which are perfect for summer. There are little fashion boutiques for unique shopping which you simply cannot miss! 💞😃 . . If brunch is not for you, you can just fly-away a lovely afternoon over cocktails. It really is a place worth visiting when you are in London. . . Question for you: Is there a hidden gem in your City/town/area that you would recommend? Please do share in comments ⬇️. We would love to hear from you. . . . . . #london #stchristophersplacelondon #hiddengemsoflondon #londonfoodguide #londonphotos #mylondonphoto #london_city_photo #london_city_photos #london_enthusiast #londonbloggers #londoncityworld #londonsbest #nevertoolatetolivealittle👠 #onegrandadventureatatime #explorelondon🇬🇧 #getoutsidemore #summerinlondon #coloursoflondon #summereating #brunchlondon #londonbrunchguide #lovelondonlife #visit_uk #visitlondonofficial

When you walk through a park, what do you look for? I look for a quiet place to read or to write my blogs but my latest discovery, unexpectedly was a paradise, an area of total zen 😍 and had led me to conclude that Regent’s Park is the #1 Garden of total zen. Why, you ask? • • Well, in the Inner Circle of Regent’s Park, Queen Mary’s Garden, you will come to meet this splendid mini waterfall (Pic. 1) but before you get here, you need to cross this inviting little bridge (Pic 2) that leads you to a Japanese Garden, hidden almost. When you are here, there is a secluded path that takes you to the top and for a stunning view of below (Pic. 3). There is a circular seating area at the top with benches for you to take a break, have a picnic or write your blog! It is quiet, peaceful, less people here surrounded by lots of green vegetation, simple flowers, buzzy 🐝 and the delightful sounds of water coming from the waterfall. An oasis of total zen 😍 • • For those unfamiliar with Regent’s Park in Central London, this is a vast circular-shaped of 197 hectares of green space designed by John Nash in 1646 for Prince Regent and later became Henry VIII’s hunting ground. Regent’s Park today is many worlds away from Henry VIII’s hunting ground. There are two popular Gardens here, the Avenue Gardens and Queen Mary’s Garden. Queen Mary’s Garden has been opened to the public since 1934. • • Read more on my New Blog Post out today - Link in bio. • • When you walk through a park, what do you look for?

Great Smoky Mountains

The beauty of the mountains comes through as you drive up…when you see, as far as you can, ridge upon ridge of endless forest. It was one of the prettiest sights, that I had ever witnessed – the crisscrossing of the mountains in the distance as it blends into the blues of the skies, which makes it particularly picturesque.
