From London to Paris for 29.99 Pounds Sterling!

I saw this offer on Euro Star while looking for cheap accomodation and flights from London to Paris...


Whooooaaaa amazing! In just a matter of 2 hours and 35 minutes on a bullet train, the EuroStar takes you from the Posh, Cosmopolitan London (Waterloo station) to the cultured and elite environment of Paris, home to the Champs Elysees and the world famous Eiffel Tower.

This offer is absolutely tempting... If only London was a stone's throw away from my apartment.. I would literally jump at this once in a lifetime chance!

Just when you thought you couldn't get anything better than that, here comes another astounding discovery, throw in a 3-day hotel accomodation + train ride...all for the price of... *drumroll* 363.84 Pounds Sterling for 2 Pax!!! Now, who says you can't go to Paris on a Budget? Man, that's only Php3,000 more than a round trip ticket to Cagayan de Oro for me... *sigh* I wish we had bullet trains in the Philippines. Travelling won't be so expensive then.

For more details, check out and explore the EuroStar website now!

Reliving London and all its Glory

Two years have passed since my 2-month adventure in London, but I haven't compiled an album about my trip...just yet. My spasmodic attempts at putting together photos and essays and what-not, render me speechless most of the time. The place is just so magnificent beyond words and no amount of photos could totally capture the amazement, the fun and all the excitement this place has to offer.

So why blog about the whole thing after 2 years? My excitement re-surfaced today when my sister told me she will be going to Europe in April!!! Wooooow... I wish I could go with her, I would have offered to be her guide in and around London! That could save her loads of pounds on walking tours... Oh well...when I have more moolah, I will definitely go backpacking - an adventure I didn't have the luxury to do during my pre-winter visit.

Anyway, the next few posts in this blog will be about London and the nicer places in Europe that's worth squeezing in a weeklong trip... and if I find any helpful resources, I will probably touch a little on sleeper and bullet trains to go cross country - now, isn't that cool?!?

Finally a blog for my meanderings!

So when did blogging become addictive?!? Beats me! I am not a very religious blogger myself but truly when boredom hits you, there's just gotta be something else to do except stare at your monitor for the next 3 hours wondering what the hell am I going to do next week and the week after that?!?

Since... I still haven't got the green light to do the stuff I'm supposed to be doing... plus the fact that I might be doing quite a lot of travelling this year... I figured it would make some sense to power up a blog site that's dedicated to all the travels and adventures (...and of course the misadventures!) that I would beface in 2006!

Same with my other blogs, this site is solely for travel and adventure, spas and beaches.... aaaaaahhh the wonders of the oil and the able hands that knead your body like a dough of bread.

So there... now that's a hint of what to expect on my next post! til then... and hope you come by as frequently as night befalls the makati skyline! heh! :-)
