I was not able to get much sleep between arriving late and leaving early. I woke up and got ready. I walked to the bus stop and boarded the bus to La L铆nea de la Concepci贸n. The ride was comfortable and I was able to take a nap on the way to make up for lost sleep the previous night. After reaching La L铆nea de la Concepci贸n, I walked to Cafe Eclen at the corner for a quick breakfast and then continued towards the border with Gibraltar. ...
I always wanted to visit Luxembourg, but it was not easy to plan for it since it is not really on the way to anywhere. With the new dynamic pricing for flights on the Lufthansa group with Miles and More, I was able to get a great deal by flying in and out for a day at the end of a work visit to Spain. I started my day very early with a flight from Barcelona to Zurich and the connecting onwards to Luxembourg. ...
I got up in the morning and got ready for the day. The Sunflower City Backpacker Hotel is located in a quite residential neghbourhood and it was a nice walk back to the train station. I bought a one-way ticket from Rimini to San Marino at the Tabaccheria opposite the railway station and went and waited at the bus stop which was about a 3-4 minute walk to the right. ...
A weekend in between a work visit to Spain gave me the chance to explore 2 microstates in neighboring Italy. My flight from Barcelona to Rome was early in the morning. It wasn鈥檛 too long. I had booked a shuttle from the airport to Vatican City. The bus dropped me off a couple of blocks away. There was some festival or event there that day, and there were devotees in huge numbers walking towards St. Peter鈥檚 Square. Regular tourists like me were able to reach St. Peter鈥檚 Square but could not go towards Saint Peter鈥檚 Basilica and the Sistine Chapel directly. ...
A long layover on a journey to Barcelona gave me the opportunity to experience the Discover Doha Transit Tour by Discover Qatar and Qatar Airways. This was a paid service, and I was able to register for the 8:00 AM tour online and make the payment in advance. The flight from Mumbai to Qatar was nice, but short. They had a breakfast service after takeoff and it was not long before we began our descent into Doha. ...
I got up early to see the morning light on Mt. Kazbek from our balcony. It was quite dark but the size of Mt. Kazbeg was evident. As the sun rose, the cloud came in and coverered the peak. 脳 < > Once all of us were ready to leave we headed to Gergeti Trinity Church. The road was good and we were able to drive our van up there without any issues. There were not too many people around this early in the morning so it was good. The walk from the parking lot towards the church offered magnificent views of the church with the mountains in the background. ...
We left early in the morning from Kutaisi because we had a long drive ahead of us today. We fueled up the car before joining the main highway heading east. The drive was nice as we passed the Georgian countryside. As we got close to Mtskheta the exits from the highway were tricky and after some to and fro we finally joined the Georgian Military Road. We stopped at a small roadside eatery for a quick breakfast. It had been a couple of hours that we were driving and everyone was hungry. We had three types of khachapuri they had on offer and some coffee (which was from a machine and not great). ...
We left early in the morning from Kutaisi to visit the Gelati Monastery. The drive there was nice through winding roads and green hills. Unfortunately Gelati Monastery was undergoing restoration work and we were not able to see it from the inside. After spending some time, we started our drive back to Kutaisi. ...
We left early in the morning from our Airbnb in Tbilisi. The roads leading out of the city were quite crowded. Being the wrong lane led us to take an unexpected exit and we somehow ended up seeing the Former Archaeology Museum and the Saint Nino Monument. There were nice views of the cityscape from this point. We joined the highway again and continued our drive. Our first stop was the city of Gori. We parked the car near Stalin Park (3 GEL) and walked across to see it. We saw the Stalin wagon and the Stalin monument. ...
I got up early so went for a walk to Jambiani beach. It was very cloudy and there was also a spell of rain when I was there. We had a nice breakfast at the hotel and then started our drive to the airport and fly back home. There was rain on the way to the airport, and it got heavier as we got closer. We were lucky that the previous few days were mostly sunny and cloudy, otherwise this whole trip would have been a washout. ...
