I'm in Colombo!

When I arrived in Sri Lanka, I was surprised to feel the almost Bali vibe. People are really relaxed but there is a sense of order on the street vs. India's chaos. Too bad I am only here for one night.

By the way, you must try the restaurant Ministry of Crab. They have superb crab but also the ambience is fantastic, housed in an old Dutch hospital. Mmmmm..

A beautiful city near or in Mumbai

   

   

One of the meetings I had in Mumbai was an hour, two-hours away, where there were beautiful buildings. I wish I had time to walk around, but unfortunately all snapshots had to be taken from the car... Apparently these are world heritage edifices. I must look up the name of the place.. or can someone tell me? 

Cafe Laumer

I had the most perfect weekend brunch at Cafe Laumer, which is just around the corner from my place in Westend Frankfurt. They have an amazing line-up of cakes (apparently 40+), but their classical brunch menu with a newspaper in one hand, was just out-of-this-world nice! It's a real gem especially when the sky is blue and you can sit outside. Apparently it's the last standing classical cafe in Frankfurt. Such a treat for a neighborhood cafe...

Viennese sweets at its best... mmmm

I arrived in Vienna for the weekend, after a one-day delay due to a strike at the Frankfurt airport.. on a Friday! (Welcome to Europe, I guess.) But all of that is forgotten, once I arrived and checked out the sweets in every cafe and corner shops. Today's post-lunch dessert was at Cafe Hofburg right next to the Sisi Museum. The tea and this apple something cake was just yum.

 

Then before dinner, we came across a chocolatier near our hotel that looked amazingly cozy and with handmade chocolates. Yum again! Try them both!

Strolling around Frankfurt

Reina visited Frankfurt. It was such a nice sunny day to walk around the Main River.

 

If it's this nice on a windy winter day, it must be amazing in the summer. Apparently there will be pop-up bars showing up along the river when it gets warm. I so look forward..

 

 

 

Finally in Frankfurt

Hello to my new environment..
