Wheat Raclette

Reminiscing this healthy breakfast I had when we were in Normandy, France. If you look closely, 

it has a sunny side up egg in the center and the raclette is thin made of wheat flour similar to a tortilla (that is why i think the color is brown) folded on the sides to make a square shape.  You can ask if you want  it with salad or just the plain raclette what you see in the photo below.  Asking price is 4,75eu. So, don't forget to try this out when you are in Normandy.

Le Mont Sint Michel France ( A Dream Come True)

This  incredible island monastery in France in the region of Normandy finally made my dream come to a reality.  I was in awe the whole time from the moment my eyes saw this beautiful Monastery.  The place is just breathtaking.  No words can described it.  The long journey getting there plus the thirty minute walk pays it off. 

 

The place is packed with tourists from all over Europe plus tourists from The United States as well.  The top end of the monastery is where the monks used to live and now made into a museum.  Unfortunately, I can not share with you any pictures or whatsoever because we decided to skip it.  But if you would like to see what is inside the museum, you have to pay for 10eu each for admission.

Hotel Premiere Classe Caen

This has to be the hotel that has so far the most branches I knew here in Europe. Hotel Premiere Classe in Caen, region of Normandy in France is where we stayed for 4 nights last week but left a day early due to lack of strong wi-fi connection in our room. I booked the hotel online thru booking.com which I got it for a fair low price.  Here's the video on my Youtube Channel.  Enjoy watching!

 

The Worst Fries I Ever Had

Going to Caen, we decided to stop and check out another tourist place called Dieppe.  This is where i got the fries (at the seawall). I do not have to explain much the photo says it all.  It is the worsiest fries I have ever had in my life.  Looks soggy as it is cooked in an old oil plus the fries was so greasy (what can you expect). This one cost 3eu.

What's in my Make Up Bag?

The week is over and I am finished with work, hurrah!  

So, Me and Hubby will be going away for a short trip this coming Sunday.  This trip was not in our plan but since we are both free from work next week, we decided to go and visit Normandy.  I already began in packing my things and I thought of sharing what I got in my make up bag.  These are the essential products I take with me when we go out for holiday or for a short trip.

My Canal Gay Parade Experience in Amsterdam

What is your stand about the homosexuals in our community?  Are you open with it or are you against it?  Since I grew up in a Catholic country, homosexuals such as gays, lesbians, transgender and bisexual are not accepted until now.  They were looked down and discriminated by our fellow countrymen. But in the Netherlands, Amsterdam is among the first cities with an extensive and open gay scene.  It is famous for its tolerant and open atmosphere.  

I had the opportunity to witness with my own eyes the biggest event of the homosexuals in the Netherlands. The Gay Pride is celebrated every last week of July and the first week of August since 1996.  The said parade was joined by 80 boats of different gay and lesbian organizations including the locals of Amsterdam.

 Here are some of the highlights of the Canal Parade in Amsterdam.

Pink is the color of the day :)

It was a heart warming event for me because I can feel that they are calling for equality so they can live as normal people like every one else. #equality #youareyou

Phone Call from MIL

photos 2009 & 2011 visit

Last weekend husband got a long distance call from Mum who is my mother-in-law.  She is planning to visit us again  and asking us what are the possible dates that she can come over to spent holiday with us. It is not yet definite to when but I can't wait to see her again.  It has been over two years since her last visit last May of 2011.  Actually, it would be better to have her on December for Christmas time so we can show her around the Christmas markets in Germany and Belgium or even Paris!  So, fingers crossed. 

Cathay Pacific Airlines

I am so happy that we will be traveling again with Cathay Pacific Airlines in our next vacation in the Philippines. I want to try other airlines but Hubby insisted to fly again with the same airline.  Considering that they offer the best service to their passengers and the yummy food they serve on the plane. Other than that we never encountered any bad experienced flying with them so that is the most important thing for us.  Maybe this time, I will be able to get a souvenir magnet when we stop in Hong Kong in addition to my collection.
