Day 6 - Machu Picchu

Day started early morning with the light from transparent roof! It was hard to getup from lovely lavender scented bed, but very much excited since this was the day!! Yes today we were going to visit Machu Picchu, which was in wish list from 8-9 year. It was a dream coming true destination. Took shower and went for breakfast. Breakfast with fresh fruits, juices and freshly baked bread butter gave us energy. Kids loved the resort so much that they did want to live the place.


Taxi came on time and again we started towards Ollyantatambu train station. We booked vista dome, we were excited for this ride since this was our first experience for this kind of train. Vista domb had big glass windows and glass roof to enjoy the views. The train started and we started our journey to Aguascalientes along Urubamba river. 



No need to tell the one and half hour journey was super scenic with good food and lemongrass tea.

We reached Aguascalientes station and Maria welcome us, she was out tour guide. She was very knowledgeable and sweet. The town is lovely too. It is along the river and in narrow gap between two mountains.



From Aguascalientes we have to take the bus to Machu Picchu. It takes around 30mins and drive is zig zag and steep curves. The bus and drivers were both very good. We reached up and started our tour. When we entered the park, we climbed up 15-20 mins and were in front of Wyane Picchu and the ruins. It was just wow, no words. At the famous spot!


Our guide gave us two hour tour and told lot of interesting information about Incas. It rained a bit but the weather was very nice. It was sunny and cool. After the tour  we took break, ate some food and went back to the ruins to explore left out part in tour. This was just amazing, Ram and Jai did really great! We are so proud of them. All the steep trails and long walks, they did it. 


Some awesome views. Out SLR has better pictures, album coming soon.

Puerto Rico - Day 4

Today we woke up and directly went to beach walk. It was our breakfast our day, we went to a very fancy place on Isla Verde. Food was unique and tasty! Walk to castle through stunning old San Juan  Bobba is must! We got ready and headed to castle visits. Both the castles in old San Juan are along ocean, built by local Indian people and then taken over by Spanish people. They are huge and in good space. Views and structure is breathtaking! We booked an underwater walking tour ( introductory scuba) so we went there in the afternoon. I was scared in the beginning but did it later in second round. They give bread in your hand so lots of fishes come near you, it was amazing experience. The resort where it was located was very beautiful! We ended our day by exploring Condado area and eating Asian food! Again the food was great! Day 5 link http://ourweekendsdiary.blogspot.com/2023/02/puerto-rico-day-5.html

The Northern Lights: Nature’s Own Festivity Our odyssey began with a promise to witness the ethereal beauty of the  Northern Lights .

Helsinki: A Birthday Celebration In Helsinki, we celebrated Shri's birthday, a day marked by history and gastronomy. The old town’s architecture whispered stories of the past, while the majestic churches stood as sentinels of serenity which he is always fascinated by. The highlight was a Michelin-starred Finnish restaurant  Nokka , where each dish was a symphony of local flavors, display of an art and surprisingly all vegetarian!...
