Finally, the blue sky appeared on the third day of our holiday. We switched from museum crawling to monument crawling. If I am to pick one place in Paris I love to hang out the most, that has to be the two islands – Ile de la Cité and Ile St-Louis – in the center of [...]

First Two Days In Paris Was Colder Than We’d Anticipated
August 15th, 2010 No Comments
Time flies. If I don’t get started documenting our travel journal, year 2011 may hit me before I know it. June this year, we have visited France. Like our trip to Spain last year, I am going to publish an article every weekend, until I run out of materials. I am familiar with Paris. When [...]

Still Wilfrid The Paparazzi, On Felicia And Nathaniel
December 2nd, 2009 6 Comments
If you recall, a year ago, I was happily sharing the exciting news of my nephew and I sharing the same birthday. Decades apart, of course. Looking back at that blog entry, what a bizarre piece of write-up I produced! So much details then that I would have forgotten now. Like I often say, keep [...]

Wilfrid The Paparazzi, At Volcano “Kawah Putih” (Bandung South)
November 29th, 2009 9 Comments
There are many reasons to process the photos not long after the trip. First, viewers are sharp. They may ask why this set of photos is not as good as the previous set. Second, some people may look thinner or … erm … quite the opposite then than now. Especially after one long year. Third, [...]

This Is The End Of The Spain Holiday Series

I wish I could save the best for the last. But my favorite photo album is still the journal of the previous day. Followed by the “Jelly Fish” post that some of my friends refer to. The writing of this set of journal have been one helluva journey. A total of more then 22,000 words [...]

So Many Boats, In The Beautiful Island of Mallorca (Majorca)
September 13th, 2009 3 Comments
If you are one of the handful of readers who follow this Sunday series, you probably wonder, where am I in the photos? I am often not that keen to go in front of the camera. Happy to stay behind the viewfinder instead. And all of a sudden, in day 11, I put my tripod [...]

Traveling To The Beach Resort Island, A Prelude to Mallorca
September 5th, 2009 2 Comments
The color of this photo is taken straight from my camera, a faithful reproduction of the beautiful sea view that we saw. I have been contemplating if I shall combine the day 10 and 11 entries into one as I didn’t manage to take many photos that day, for circumstances that you will read later. [...]

Madrid, It’s Madrid!
August 30th, 2009 4 Comments
Recently, I met up with one reader of my website, for a movie by an actress we both adore. And he brought along with him a photo album of his recent overseas trip, shot using the camera that I recommended. He had some questions in mind but I am far from being a pro. Nevertheless, [...]

A Museum Crawling Day In The City Of Madrid
August 23rd, 2009 4 Comments
Throughout this series thus far, you have seen pictures of the Churches and the monuments, of the road trips, and even those of the bizarre creatures and the futuristic buildings from Valencia. On the 8th days, we dedicated the entire Sunday touring museums in Madrid. Cynthia and I love to spend time inside a museum. I [...]

On The 7th Day, We Toured The Toledo
August 16th, 2009 4 Comments
I would never forget the exhilarating experience of driving in the narrow sloppy streets of Toledo with a left-hand manual car. Some of which I could not quite figure out the one-way road direction. Another time, we drove into a dead end only to reverse all the way out to the road junction as the [...]
