My Travel Journal

"There isn't much I haven't shared with you along the road and through it all there'd always be tomorrow's episode" - Elton John

I started traveling around the world since early 80s when I had the opportunity to combine business trips with vacations. Then later when my rezeki is in abundance, there were numerous other trips along the way for vacations, most of the time with hubby and the kids when the timing is right. I have also started to compile the journal and photo-pages covering almost more than 45 years of world wide travel. Some destinations I visited just once, others many times. Many of those places are the obvious famous places people would like to visit but some, the casual traveler doesn't even think to try. I have placed links to my travel at the side bar of my personal page, My Life Reflections, and will be updating them from time to time.

My wish is to continue my travel and complete circumnavigate the globe, insyaAllah…

Italy 2003: Venice - The gateway to the Orient...

"Money is the wealthy man's curtain which hides all his defects from the world..."

(A city in a lagoon in Adriatic Sea)

Venice, the enchanting and romantic lagoons, is one of the few cities in the world that can be truly described as unique. Over an extraordinarily long period, the city was embellished with monuments of rare splendour that today make it a tourist attraction like none other in the entire world. It’s easy to get lost and tired walking around Venice. The water buses offer an easy and inexpensive way to discover all the islands and the host of interesting treasures they withhold!

While we were in Venice we arranged for a day tour to the island of Murano. It is famous for its long tradition of glass-making. Ferry-loads of visitors come to explore the Museo del Vetro, which tells the story of glass through the centuries, and to shop for locally crafted souvenirs. We bought some Murano glasses to bring home as momentos.

Dreamland'

Sometimes when I'm dreaming
in a place I've never been
I feel the strangest feelings
and see things I 've never seen.

I see the clouds they float around
up in the coloured sky
and little beings down below
pass each other by...
