Trip to France

Image
This summer vacations our family decided to go on a trip to Europe and we chose France and Switzerland out of the 44 countries. The trip was ten days long and here is how it went... 12.07.18 We had an early morning flight from Dubai to Zurich through Swiss Airlines. The flight to Zurich was around 6.5 hours long which I spent sleeping and watching a movie. At Zurich Airport, we had a 6 hours stop-over and then a connecting flight to Paris afterward. On our arrival, we were quite tired and went to a lounge as we had certain cards that provided lounge access. When we arrived in Paris a cab sent from the hotel took us to the place we were staying in, Novotel, Suresnes Longchamp. It is a 4-star hotel with decent amenities. By the time we arrived, it was already evening and not much could be done today so we only went around to explore the area our hotel was located in. We walked along the River Seine for some time and explored the lanes of Paris. We bought some essentials from a near...

Trip to Georgia (Country)

Image
It has been more than a year since I wrote my last blog. Well, in March 2017, I moved to Dubai and apparently did not travel much outside and explored the new country for a couple of months. In March 2018 my family and I planned to visit Georgia for a short trip with another family friend. 28.03.18 Dubai Airport was already crowded beside the fact that it was just 5 in the morning. FlyDubai was the only airline which flies to Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia. The journey was 3.5 hours long and with pretty decent facilities provided by the airline. We arrived in Georgia being welcomed by a cold breeze. It was quite cold in Georgia in comparison with Dubai. Firstly we went to our hotel "Flamingo" but surprisingly they told us that the hotel room wasn't available yet and therefore we had to wait for a few more hours. So, we went to the main Tbilisi city now. Holy Trinity Cathedral was our first destination. It was a beautiful cathedral as it was at the edge of the ...

23.5.16 I had a flight from Delhi to Srinagar, Kashmir today. We had taken a tour package of Thomas Cook. We reached the airport, checked in, got security checked and then boarded our GoAir plane. The journey was about 1 and a half-hour long. When we reached the Srinagar International Airport, a person from Thomas Cook greeted us and some other families. There were 2 Force Travellers and 1 TATA Winger as there were a total of 39 people who had come from different places in India. I was in a Force Traveller. From the airport, all of us went to a houseboat situated on Dal Lake. It was a 30 mins drive from the airport to Dal Lake. On the banks of the lake, we stopped and sat in a boat to go to our houseboat. We were staying in the houseboat named The Alps. It was located among the various houseboats in this beautiful lake. My House Boat One more family was staying with us in the houseboat, there were 3-bedrooms in the houseboat. It was an interesting place to stay with a hall,...

My Trip to Bengaluru and Coorg (Karnataka, India)

Image
On 30th December we travelled to Bengaluru for holidays. It took almost two and a half hour to reach Bengaluru from Delhi and luckily no fog delays this time. Last year when we were travelling to Mumbai/Goa, our flight was delayed by about six hours. From the airport we took a taxi to one of my father's friend's house. As it was already evening, we did not do much that day and had evening snacks, dinner and took rest. My father had great time meeting his old pal. Next day we went to a meeting another family friend. At their home I played PS3 with their son Vibhu who was of my age. Then from there we all together went to Science Museum. The science museum was very big. It had lot's of scientific stuff which we enjoyed. GEARS ME LIKE A BEAR Then we went back to the place where we were staying. In the society there was a new year party. After the party we went back home as the next day we had to go to Coorg, a town near Bengaluru. The next da...
