My husband and I love anything adventure and took the chance to go rafting on the Elk River with Mountain High Adventures in Fernie, British Columbia. The 4 hour drive from Calgary is a delightful drive through the mountain scenery. We met our friends and set up camp for the evening at one of the local campgrounds. In the morning we headed to the meeting point and boarded a bus that would take us to the river.
1. Take an Abra Cruise
A traditional way of crossing from Bur Dubai to Deira are the beautiful abra taxis. The crossing lasts approximately 5 minutes and costs 1AED. Otherwise you can hire a private charter, we paid 60AED for a 1 hour cruise along the creek during sunset. Make sure to walk through the Gold Souk when you're on the Deira side of the creek!
My husband and I visited Yellowstone National Park in the summer of 2013. We were lucky enough to have time to enjoy 2 days in the park plus 2 days for travelling. Definitely a must for anyone who has the chance to visit this spectacular National Park! Scroll to the end of the page for our Yellowstone vlog!
1. Safdarjung Tomb
My favourite monument in Delhi (perhaps, because it was my first "attraction) is Safarjung Tomb. It was the first tourist attraction I visited in Delhi so it will always whole a special place in my heart. Built between 1753-1754 bu Nawab Shuja-ud-Daula, the son of Safdarjung, it's now located on Lodhi Road. Safdarjung tomb represents the last phase of the Mughal style architecture being built in red sandstone and buff stone and follows a similar pattern of Humayun Tomb. Located inside are two graves - those of - Safdarjung and his wife.
After leaving the nightmarish traffic of Bangalore we headed to the more peaceful Pune for a quick 4 day visit with Family. With kids in tow we spent the first day at Adlabs Imagica Theme Park, halfway between Mumbai and Pune. Chachi (Me) and Chacha (Husband) had immense fun chasing around the little ones and experiencing all the rides. Best part - no long line ups!
As a side trip from Bangalore we decided to go to the district of Coorg in Karnataka. I had read and heard many great things about the area and it was suppose to be amazing during Monsoon season! We took an A/C Volvo bus to Kushal Nagar, upon arrival at the bus station the owner of Iyris the Home Stay picked us up and escorted us to his home.
