And with us, my dearheart came along too..

Instead of staying at the over-commercialised Patong beach, I opted to stay at a less populated Kata beach at the Kata Palm Beach resort.
No regrets in choosing the Deluxe Pool View room.

Our rooms were really spacious complete with verandah and bath tub.

Very comfortable.

And our chosen transport for the trip.. A Suzuki Vitara jeep.

Equipped with a Phuket map and a skillful designated driver, we basically toured the whole island on our own, hassle-free, without having to worry about transportation.

And thanks to easy transportation we managed to go to the various beaches of Phuket. Swam @ Kata, eat @ Surin, shopping and sea sports @ Patong and lots more..

It was such a nice experience, being high up there in the air with your feet dangling above the blue waters below.

The intention for the trip was to rest and relax.. For my mom, every day she gets a massage but her most favourite one is the beach massage. This one right here.

Foodwise, we tried various eateries.. from roadside banana fritters to seafood restaurants..

The best part of the trip was our visit to Phuket Fantasea. It has such an amazing display of colors, lights, shows & costumes.

There was also various game stations. I was telling MD that it would be nice if he could win me something. And he ended up winning for me so many things.

And I must say, he's really good at shooting!

All and all, it was a good holiday. My mom asking me to take her to Melbourne next. Hopefully I can get to bring her there by the end of the year..

Stonehenge, a World Heritage Site, is the most outstanding prehistoric monument in the British Isle.

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket


Being in the centre of one of the world's earliest cultures, it was mapped to the course of the sun and moon by the ancient people.

It comprises of Sarsen stones, brought from Marlborough Downs some 30km away and the smaller Bluestones, so-named as they turn blue when wet, are from the mystical Preseli Mountains in Wales which is about 385km away...

Although Stonehenge is not the largest stone circle in the world, the one thing that makes it unique is that it has lintels around the top.

Nobody knows the truth on how these stones get to stand upright cos it required sheer muscle power and hundreds of men to even move them, the heaviest probably weighing abt 45 000 kg.

There was a myth though that giants had helped the Great Wizard Merlin to build Stonehenge in the Arthurian legends.

Whatever it is, we can expect on this June 21st, during the summer solstice, which is the longest day of the year, there are sure to be a lot of visitors to this amazing monument..

Journeying through the English countryside, we stopped by a traditional English Pub called The Bell..

.. to have a traditional English Roast Beef Lunch and I-dunno-wat (but it sure was delicious).

Another world heritage site is the The Roman Baths in the English City of Bath.

With a temple dedicated to the ancient Pagan deity with healing powers, Sulis Minerva, it is said that this was the site where a lot of worshippers gathered to pray and make sacrifices to the goddess.

This also acted as a public bath house to which men and women alike can enjoy a luxurious warm swim in The Great Bath..

..or a cold plunge in The Circular Bath.

A fantastic spa indeed for the ancient Roman Britains people of Aquae Sulis.

Finally, and my most favourite part of the tour, was a visit to Stratford-Upon-Avon.

Within this charming little town, lies the birthplace of the famous playwright and poet William Shakespeare.

It was such a lovely opportunity to be able to walk through his house and read his amazing life-story

..and exclusively sipping champagne (or orange juice) and having delectable strawberry scones in his picturesque garden.

Of course, I did quite a bit of shopping in his gift shop..

..where I finally found my Knights in (shining) Armour.
