I have heard people talk about how cheap the food at IKEA is so I decided to give it a try . I dropped by today for breakfast. Had the traditional ( eggs , sausage, home fries and bread ) , bacon , onion/potato patty , cake , coffee and orange juice . The food is decent. The bacon and sausage was good . The egg king of dry buy still edible. I didn’t like the green and white patty…
My favourite stop on our cruise was the Bahamas! Pulling into port you are greeted with stunning lighthouse views . once you are docked you can catch a taxi for four dollars to Atlantis from the port . The drive is nice to get a sense of the city ! Atlantis is beautiful. In order to go inside you need to pay money or you can go through one of the restaurant entrances for free . If you go through…
Cayman Island was one of my port stops on my Celebrity cruise .I found it to be small for a word famous offshore money haven . I did a local tour with a van . Hired them right as I got off at the port . It cost about $25 for 2 hour tour . I would not recommend this tour . If you are not alone , hire a taxi and negotiate a price for the day and pick…
One of the port stop was at Cozumel on our Celebrity Silhouette Cruise . We went to a beach club. Cozumel’s water is stunningly blue and clear . I could understand why it’s one of the top places to visit in Mexico. When we visited it poured rain for the entire duration. Even the rain couldn’t hide the beauty of this Island. Definitely a place I would come back to !
The food on this cruise was good . We had a few options. There was an almost 24 hour buffet , multiple specialty restaurants, bars , 24 hour service with a set menu , a cafe and a gelato cafe . As part of our package we had the buffet , one speciality restaurant and room service included for free . The buffet called Ocean Cafe was good for all three meals . It had variety everyday for lunch and…
2019 started with a free seven day cruise aboard Celebrity Silhouette! In the past I have been on the Norwegian Gem with friends for my first cruise. Really had a lot of fun with my friends so was looking forward to the cruise . Entertainment This cruise was part of a work conference so there were some work events to attend to as well so that made it a little different. There was also no nightly entertainment which kind of…
For me this souvenir represents Bali . Even before I reached Bali I knew I wanted the straw Bali bag . I went to multiple stores in Ubud’s Art Market before buying from one store . You have to make sure it is made of straw vs plastic . These come in many different colours and shapes . I was able to negotiate the price down to $15 . Make sure to negotiate before buying and buy it from one…
My mom loves to sew and when I told her I was visiting Bali she asked me to get her sewing fabric from Bali . I talked to a few locals from our resort and our taxi drivers and discovered Jalan Sulawesi Street in Denpasar. This street is filled with fabric stores selling all kind of fabrics. As you go to the stores there are middle man/women that will follow you and try to help you . Avoid them ….
The luxury resorts in the Nusa Dua Resort makes one not want to leave the resort! If you are looking for good take out option in this area try Nusa Dua Pizza ! This restaurant has over one thousand reviews and four and half stars ! Well earned stars . We tried their pizza for delivery one day and was pleasantly surprised. The pizza was excellent and good panzerotti ! A good affordable fast choice !
Kuta Art Market While we were in Nusa Dua we decided to visit Kuta Art Market hoping to buy some souvenirs we missed out buying in Ubud . We were terribly disappointed in the Kuta Art Market. Buy your souvenirs in Ubud. Don’t bother visiting Kuta Art Market. It is full of mass imported items ! Kuta Beach The Kuta Art Market is near the Kuta Beach . The beach looked decent. Pretty nice waves . If you are looking…
