A Drive Up Dunnottar Castle, Stonehaven, Aberdeen

WITH TUMMIES FULLY FILLED WITH FISH N CHIPS AND ICE CREAM, IT IS TIME TO SET OFF.... Aaron drove another ten minutes and stopped to visit the Dunnottar Castle. Last year I stayed inside the car and waited because the trail is not suitable for wheelchair. This time I managed to go and I need to hold on to my son's arms for the trail was quite stoney and rocky.... Ever since I hurt my leg last year, i have no confidence walking along uneven roads. I worry about twisting my leg again... But if I did not visit Dunnottar this time, I would not be able to feel this breathtaking scenery....

This dramatic and evocative ruined cliff top fortress was the home of the Earls Marischal, once one of the most powerful families in Scotland. Steeped in history, this romantic and haunting ruin is a photographer’s paradise, a history lover’s dream and an iconic tourist destination for visitors the world over. Visit Dunnottar Castle for your own unforgettable experience and discover the importance of Dunnottar – an impregnable fortress that holds many rich secrets of Scotland’s colourful past.

Our walk started from here.....

Soon ... I saw this awesome sight before my eyes....

The blue sea around 7pm in the evening... The days were longer here...

The cliffs ... The kids... I was so fearsome for them...

The castle in sight on the right....

Even my girl was near the cliff.... I have to stand at a distance to watch.... Very phobia...

I am glad they are not like me....

Scenery Reminds me of some movies....

It would be more beautiful to see the sun set....

Can't leave this place without my poses, right? Lol....

One....

Two....

Three.....

Four...... That's it!!

I have left my "footprints" here this time!!

Three Hours City Tour At Ensenada, Mexico

A THREE HOURS CITY TOUR when we embarked in Mexico on the second morning. My sister booked the three hours city tour in Ensenada, Mexico, a van came to pick us up from the port. Ensenada is the border of Mexico and it reminds me of Hatyai, a border town too between Malaysia and Thailand. We were taken to a shopping area where we must haggle for the goods. LOL.. Yes, something common in my own country... Anyway, we did not buy anything for ourselves... just a wooden handmade truck for my grandson which cost $8usd. Nothing much to shout about on this three hours excursion, I was so sleepy on the way back to the ship that I dozed off and only awaken when we were driven through the town. All in all, I just wanted to step onto Mexican soil and I would give this a miss if I were to go on this Mexico cruise again. LOL... At the open area shopping walking towards the Blowhole... This is La Bufadora Blowhole, an amazing natural marine geyser that is capable of shooting water over 60 fe

Exploring The Sea Cruise Royal Caribbean

CRUISING ALONG.... Once we deposited our bags in our cabins, we had our buffet meal at the Hammerjack restaurant and exactly at 4pm, we heard a loud Horn signal... ITS TIME TO SAIL ALONG THE PACIFIC OCEAN! And while the ship started to sail, we humans started to walk and explore.... to familarize ourselves inside the ship.... Elevators on each side of the ship.... Making my mark.... On another side.... We walked along to check out our food outlets... This Promenade Cafe had became our regular joint .... We like to sit there enjoying our hot drinks and desserts... Free flow of food day and night.... Passing through the bars to the casino... The casino will open only when the ship is in international waters... At one of the jackpot machines... I wonder if they are real?? But they are only $1 bundles... Then we went up to the highest floor.... The swimming deck.... Taken against the sun.... Nice sunset in the evening.... The Happy Trio!

First Day In The Royal Caribbean Cruise To Mexico

ROW ROW ROW YOUR BOAT.... gently down the sea.... Royal Caribbean, it is my second time following this giant vessel, the first time was from Singapore to Phuket, that was a very nice cruise. So when my son mentioned that he found a good deal online, this time to Mexico, I agreed without hesitation. Let's Go! A three nights stay with food and lodging only cost around $250 per person with at least one senior in per room. Meals were either buffet style or fine dining, we can choose and cafes were opened 24 hours for us to rest and relax. How not to resist... LOL... And so here we are... just one week after landing in US, I was on the sea.... Looks small from afar... It was a giant vessel with at least 14 floors.... On the way to embarking after Custom Clearance... Our room for the next three nights.... Small and cosy.... And adjoining to my son's family room through a door... The one with balcony cost a bit more... A short briefing about safety after we checked in....
