Most Memorable Place

Well, this is my 3rd day of blogging about my passion for traveling and my favorite destinations. Let me tell you about my most memorable place so far. Can anyone guess?...... well, there are so many beautiful places in Europe that you cannot pin point at one. Let me give a clue....It is in northern Europe and has a queen governing it. This is the place where the "little mermaid" took birth. If you still can't guess, then let me disclose. It is a small place surrounded by sea on 3 sides and part of Denmark; it is the capital city called COPENHAGEN. The beautiful green spires reaching high, numerous castles and the carved statues at every corner of the road, make this city simply artistic. The famous Tivoli gardens are a paradise to hang out in the day or night. They showcase beautiful architecture, gardens, lake and rides and have fireworks every night. One can enjoy the open boat rides in the numerous canals or visit the parks or see the change of Guards ceremony at noon, every day outside Amalienborg Castle.

Trip to Exotic ICELAND

AWESOME!!!...............simply breathtaking!! the plummeting water shooting right out of the earth in the middle of now where; the roads lined with black lava rocks, monstrous waterfalls, exotic blue lagoon which actually looks ghostly white in the moonlight and the raw rugged mountains encased in white snow. The whole picture is still clear in my eyes although it has been many years, since I visited Iceland. I remember it was 8pm by the time we reached the breathtaking, world famous blue lagoon (hot spring lagoon) amidst the snow capped mountains. White steamy mist was rising from all over the lagoon as the temperature of water was 32 degrees compared to outside temperature of -2 degrees. All of us were very tired after the days trip but as soon as we stepped into the hot waters of the lagoon, all our tiredness just melted away; it felt as if we were reborn; the whole experience was rejuvenating and exhilarating. If I close my eyes, I still feel I'm there.

Passion for traveling

It is the passion for traveling that makes people like you and me go to places, leave our worries behind and immerse in the world of beauty. The fresh air, blue skies, crystal clear lagoons waiting to submerge us, stunning sunsets.....I could go on and on and on.......bottom line is- its wonderful to be out in nature. For me, seeing new places and spending my time recalling the beautiful memories, is the favorite hobby.
