I visited the Sea Life London Aquarium in May 2016. It is located right next to the London Eye. The next building is Dreamwork’s Shrek’s Adventure. The area is a happening one! The nearest metro station is Westminster, when you get out of the tube station you can see the Big Ben on one side,…
My Affair with the London Underground #themetroproject
I wonder what my fascination with the London underground is! I discovered it in 2007 on my first visit to England! I was mesmerized with ‘mind the gap announcements.’ I think I wrote about it then as well. Let’s move forward to my recent visit to England this year in 2016. I had an Oyster…

London Underground, Oyster Card and Google Maps- A Perfect Match #themetroproject
When it comes to sense of direction I rank really low. I heavily use Google Maps to find my way around, at least for the last two years now. Before going to England I went on a sponsored trip with Google Maps in India. I learned many few useful tips and tricks there. I was looking…
Plaza Premium Lounge for Any Ticket on Any Airline at T3
I have limited experience of airport lounges. I anyway like to walk around airports. If it is a smaller airport I actually try to walk every inch of it. But when I am travel weary lounges do sound like a great idea. I thought the only way to get a lounge access was to fly…
Will it be Singapore Again in 2016?

London and Oxford are special because I used to go there repeatedly for work. Thailand is special because it is…
An Unforgettable Journey to Eastern Sri Lanka
I got only a fleeting glimpse, much of it from a moving bus, but it has been an unforgettable journey to Eastern Sri Lanka. I have but briefly touched upon the cities of Batticaloa, Kattankudy and Trinclomalee but the impressions I am going to carry back are lasting. The Grand Old Tree As a tourist…

Cool Discoveries with Google Maps
I have said this before and I am saying it again, I can get lost in a telephone booth if it has two exits! Yet I love to travel. I grew up in the time of paper maps and they were like the toughest puzzle to me! Then came smart phones but I resisted them…
Shrek’s Adventure in London
I went to Dreamworks Tours Shrek’s Adventure in London by as soon as it opened at 10.00 am. Shrek’s Adventure is right next to London Eye! There were no queues at that time. Our first batch had probably 12 people. A lot of them were families with kids. As we were getting ready to go…
