Athena Royal Luxury Cruise
#thingstodo #athena #cruise #halongbaycruise #luxury #unesco #unescoheritage
Halong Bay is a popular destination for most tourists when visiting Hanoi due to its natural like limestone mountains and caves spread out in the amazing emerald waters which also made this place a UNESCO heritage site.
During our trip, we chose to stay on the Athena Luxury Cruise and indeed it's cruise lives up to its name. We stayed in the Athena Royal Suite which has a paranormal view from our room and is situated at the highest floor of our cruise. The room also has a bathtub and a private balcony which takes up almost 1/4 of the entire deck. The basin and taps are painted gold in colour making you feel like a royal king on board.
This was one amazing stay indeed for us.
Horse Riding in Cappadocia
Cappadocia, with its distinctive fairy-tale-like landscapes featuring whimsical rock formations and otherworldly valleys, is best explored on horseback. Picture yourself astride a gentle and well-trained horse, the rhythmic clip-clop of hooves creating a soothing soundtrack as you traverse the mesmerizing terrain.
The beauty of horse riding in Cappadocia lies not just in the act itself but in the vistas that unfold around every bend. Wind your way through valleys adorned with fairy chimneys, ancient cave dwellings, and towering rock spires. The unique topography of Cappadocia transforms each ride into a visual feast, with every moment offering a new perspective of this enchanting region.
For an extra touch of magic, consider embarking on your horse riding adventure during the golden hours of sunrise or sunset. As the first rays of sunlight kiss the landscape or the sun bids a warm farewell, the hues and shadows cast on Cappadocia's natural wonders create a surreal and unforgettable experience.

The unique mosque - Blue Mosque
The Blue Mosque, known as Sultan Ahmed Mosque in Turkish, is an architectural gem that graces the skyline of Istanbul, Turkey. This stunning mosque is not only a place of worship but also a testament to the opulence and artistic achievement of the Ottoman Empire.
Its striking silhouette against the city's skyline makes it a must-visit attraction for tourists from around the world. Unlike some mosques that restrict non-Muslim visitors, the Blue Mosque is open to tourists outside of prayer times. You are advised to dress modestly and respect the mosque's sanctity.
The mosque's nickname, the "Blue Mosque," comes from the thousands of blue Iznik tiles that adorn its interior, featuring intricate floral patterns, creating a soothing and mesmerizing atmosphere.

UNESCO Hidden Christian Sites in Nagasaki
The Oura Church in Nagasaki City is one of the 12 sites related to the history of Christianity in Japan. The group of churches and Christian sites were recognized as a World Heritage Site in 2018.
This particular church is located in the southern part of Nagasaki City, while some of the other in the list are located in other parts of the Nagasaki Prefecture. To get to the Oura Church, it is possible to walk 15-20 min from city center. The area is in fact part of the Foreign Settlement area of Nagasaki in the 19th century. Therefore you can also visit Glover Garden and Chinese Confucius Shrine nearby.
The Church was built by French missionaries in 1864 and is the oldest church in Japan. It was also designated as a National treasure in 1933 by the Japanese Government.
Entrance fee is ¥1000 for adult and 400 for high school students which I thought was a little expensive. Aside the main church, you can also visit the Christian Museum next to it. It will take about 30 -45 minutes to visit the entire premise.

Calton Hill - Edinburgh ‘s Acropolis
Calton Hill is just a short 5 min walk from Edinburgh’s main train station - Waverley Station. It is 100m in elevation so It is a great place to see the city’s skyline. It is sometimes referred to as the Acropolis of Edinburgh because of the Parthenon inspired National Monument. However, it was never completed so there are only twelve columns as it stands today. The panoramic view on this hilltop is striking at any time of the day, but I thought it was particularly beautiful at sunset. #Edinburgh #urbanexplorer #scotland #unescoheritage

Another iconic tourists attraction to visit is the Palace Of Versailles located at Place d'Armes, 78000 Versailles where you will be able to see the many antiques sculptures and paintings being show case.
This palace was built before the 1800s where it is a residence said to be the King Louis XIV where it houses 2000 over rooms where the palace features the hall of mirrors, royal Chapel, royal opera and a beautiful park located right infront of the palace itself.
There is an entrance fee required to this place and a mandatory slot booking due to the popularity of visitors to this place.
It would be a dream vacation again to Paris, especially when I'm doing a solo travel. As the last Paris trip was a family trip.

Instagram-worthy Hotel in Penang
𝔼𝕒𝕥, 𝕊𝕝𝕖𝕖𝕡, 𝕎𝕒𝕟𝕕𝕖𝕣. That's what we do in Penang!
This time, we booked the highly raved instagram-worthy 📸 hotel – The Prestige Hotel via @trip.com_sg. Nestled in the hearts of Georgetown UNESCO heritage site, is truly a beautiful & posh hotel, both interior & exterior!
Clean & comfortable room with a calm ambience. There's in-room Nespresso ☕️ machine, TWG tea selection with natural essential oil toiletries, how not to fall in ❤️ with such meticulously arrangements? However, housekeeping standard could be improved.
👍 location, it's easy to get to anywhere by grab (𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘣 𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘱𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯 𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘔𝘙𝘛 𝘪𝘯 𝘚𝘎! 𝘞𝘦 𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘣 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 & 𝘱𝘢𝘪𝘥 𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯 𝘚$5 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘮𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘱𝘴 🤭).
📌 If u wanna order foodpanda, do indicate the Hotel name under "𝘢𝘥𝘥 𝘥𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴"! Our food got l̶o̶s̶t̶ delivered to the mini mart at ground floor instead (𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘤𝘩 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘢𝘶𝘵𝘰 𝘱𝘰𝘱𝘶𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘢𝘱𝘱)🤦♀️
And yes, don't forget to try Bei Gong Cha at the ground floor of The Prestige Hotel! It's very refreshing with an earthy taste.
Half of our trip left in Penang & we are still enjoying our stay in The Prestige Hotel & the food we had thus far! A perfect hotel for couples & family, I highly recommend The Prestige Hotel if u are visiting #penang.
