Summer Escape Near Geneva: Cave Exploration + Zoo! 🇨🇭🦇
#summervacay
Geneva's summer heat has been intense lately, and with no AC, I really didn't want to bake outdoors this past weekend. So, I finally checked out a place I'd had saved for a while: Grottes de Vallorbe (Vallorbe Caves). It's quite off the beaten path, so thankfully, there weren't many tourists.
My Verdict: It's perfect for all ages and an amazing escape from the heat!
The caves are about a 1.5-hour drive from Geneva. I highly recommend taking the scenic route to get there – the drive itself is part of the experience!

🏨 Weekend Comfort at DoubleTree by Hilton Johor Bahru
Took a short weekend getaway with the missus and chose DoubleTree by Hilton Johor Bahru as our stay—and it didn’t disappoint. The moment we stepped into the hotel, we were welcomed by the signature warm cookie and an equally warm smile from the staff.
The lobby was grand and beautifully lit, giving off a classy yet inviting vibe. Our room was modern, spacious, and clean with all the amenities we needed. Loved the comfy bed and how everything felt well maintained and thoughtfully laid out.
The hotel is also well-located, making it easy for us to walk to nearby malls and eateries. We didn’t dine in much at the hotel this time, but everything else—from check-in to check-out—was smooth and pleasant. A comfortable and relaxing stay perfect for a quick escape from city life.

My Weekend Escape: Soaking Up Nature at Hongqiao Park! 🌳☀️
#summervacay
I just spent another amazing weekend getting my dose of fresh air at Hongqiao Park near Shenzhen, and wow, it's seriously fun!
The park is simply beautiful. The lush, green trees and the dappled shadows they cast create such a peaceful atmosphere, especially with the vibrant red of the bridge contrasting against it all. It's awesome that you can set up tents anywhere on the grass, and just spread out your camping table and chairs wherever you like.
The bridge itself has several points where you can easily go down to explore different areas. I made sure to head to the tower top around 5:30 PM to catch the sunset – it was absolutely breathtaking!
Beyond just relaxing, there's so much to do here. There's a dedicated cycling area, a miniature train, a track for remote-control cars, and even a massive golf course! Once it gets dark, the lights come on, giving the park a completely different, charming vibe.
It's truly a fantastic spot for a weekend getaway from Shenzhen!
Location: Hongqiao Park, Guangming District, Shenzhen.
Entrance: About 100 meters north of the intersection of Chalin Road and Guangqiao Road.
Parking: Available at the North Gate or the government parking lot directly across.

Shizuoka: The Perfect Weekend Escape for Relaxation! 🍵🌸
#summervacay
Shizuoka is truly an ideal destination for a relaxing weekend getaway! I spent two days there after visiting Mount Fuji, and I barely encountered any tourists – it was incredibly peaceful!
I managed to fulfill all my Montbell shopping needs at the Cenova mall. It was uncrowded, well-stocked, and I even found items that were sold out in Tokyo! This mall is definitely worth exploring. I also did my drugstore shopping in Shizuoka; again, fewer people meant I could quietly browse and choose items at my leisure.
For dining, I highly recommend the ASTY mall inside Shizuoka Station. There are tons of food options, mostly frequented by locals. Just pick any place that looks lively, and you won't go wrong – I haven't had a single bad meal there!
You could easily plan a Shizuoka city day trip combined with a Chibi Maruko-chan Land day trip. Strolling around the city is very pleasant, and the best part is truly the paucity of tourists! Shizuoka is quite compact, and it's also relatively convenient to reach Atami, Izu, and the Fuji area from here.
My dining experiences were mostly spontaneous but always delicious!
Food Recommendations:
Matcha Shop: Try the world's strongest (No. 7) matcha! 🍵
ASTY Ishimatsu Gyoza: Locals eat gyoza as a side dish here! 🥟
Yokohama Konshinya Ramen: Definitely order the one with green onions! 🍜
ASTY Shokusai-kan Oden Shop: I forgot the shop's name, but every oden place in Shokusai-kan looked incredibly delicious! 🍢

Shanghai World Expo Cultural Park | A Relaxing Weekend Getaway 🌿
Oh my goodness! There's such a healing hidden gem of a park in Shanghai 🎈 I could spend an entire day at the Shanghai World Expo Cultural Park!
As soon as you enter the park, you'll be captivated by the vast, lush green lawns 🤏 The sun wraps you in a warm embrace. Stroll slowly with friends, watch families set up tents and fly kites 🪁 Even the wind carries a sense of relaxation.
Walking to the lakeside is simply amazing! The Chinese - style pavilion reflects on the water's surface, like an ink - wash painting 🎨 The red cedar trees and the distant buildings complement each other. Occasionally, a few waterbirds swim by 🦆 The hustle and bustle of the city is instantly cut off. Who can understand this sense of tranquility!
There's also the super cool glass building - the Plant Greenhouse. It's full of modern vibes and makes for amazing photos 📸 I'm curious about how many wonderful plants are hidden inside. I definitely need to explore it next time!
Don't miss the Valley Area at sunset 🌄 The sunlight filters through the branches and falls on the rocky streams. The warm yellow glow is as beautiful as a movie scene. Sit quietly with family or friends, and even time seems to slow down.
When you get tired of wandering around, buy a hot drink, find a spot on the lawn, and watch the sky, clouds, and scenery ☁️ All your troubles will be blown away by the wind. It's all about "lying - down healing" ✨
📍Transport Tips:

The Ancient City – A Mini Thailand Adventure in One Place! 🚗🌞
If you’re looking for a quick escape from Bangkok, The Ancient City (Muang Boran) is such a fun option! It’s like taking a road trip around the whole of Thailand in just one day because they have miniature and life-sized versions of all the famous landmarks 🇹🇭✨
But here’s the thing—it’s way too big to explore by walking (trust me, it’s super sunny and very spacious 🥵). So the smart move is to rent a golf cart and just cruise around comfortably, saving both time and energy 🚙💨. Definitely a much more chill way to enjoy the place!
It’s perfect for snapping beautiful photos 📸 and getting a taste of different Thai architectural styles without traveling all over the country.
✅ Great for: Half-day trip from Bangkok
✅ Pro tip: Bring sunscreen, sunglasses, and don’t walk… rent that golf cart! 😂

Christchurch Weekend Getaway: Day Trip to a Retro Town! 🚂🕰️
#summervacay
For a fun weekend outing from Christchurch, consider a day trip to the retro charm of Ferrymead Heritage Park!
Location: Ferrymead Heritage Park, Christchurch
Operating Hours: 10 AM - 4:30 PM
This park is quite expansive – not too big, not too small – and it's filled with fascinating antiques to explore. You can even ride a steam train! 🚂
When I visited, it happened to be a Public Holiday, which meant unlimited rides on the steam train! (I'll put the pricing details at the end of this post.) It's a great place to step back in time and experience a bit of history.

Weekend Wanderlust: A Spontaneous Trip to Flensburg! 🇩🇪🇩🇰
#summervacay
You know those days when plans just... change? That was me last weekend! My "where to go from Hamburg" sightseeing plan went totally random.
After a morning at the foreign office, I was all set to head to Kiel. But then, my train got delayed. Standing there on the platform, I saw a train for Flensburg, and on a whim, I just hopped on! It was a completely unknown adventure, and honestly, those are often the best kind. ✨
Turns out, Flensburg is super close to the Danish border – so close, in fact, you could accidentally walk into Denmark! How cool is that? 🚶♀️🌍

Bath | A Relaxing Two-Day Getaway! 🛀🇬🇧

The Happiest Place in All of the UK is Actually in... Southampton?! 🤩🐷
#summervacay
Who knew?! The Peppa Pig World theme park near Southampton is seriously SO much fun!
It was way bigger than I expected, and the attention to detail is just incredible! If you go on a nice day, it's perfect for photos. 📸
Since I visited on a weekday, it wasn't crowded at all! We didn't have to queue for any of the rides or attractions. Absolute bliss! ✨
The park isn't just about Peppa Pig either! They have other themed areas, smaller parks, and even a zoo! You can catch the penguins having their meal at 12 PM and 3 PM. 🐧
Plus, they recently had Halloween decorations up, and the atmosphere was spot on! 🎃👻
Pro Tip: Book your tickets a day in advance! It's £43.5 if you book ahead, but £58.5 if you buy on the day. You can also download the Paultons Park app to check real-time queue times and the park map. Super handy! 📱

A Relaxing Budget Escape at Sonargaon Royal Resort
#cheaptravel
#attractive
#cheaptravel #bangladeshtravel #weekendgetaway #sonargaon #resortlife
If you’re looking for an affordable weekend escape near Dhaka, I highly recommend Sonargaon Royal Resort in Narayanganj. It's only around 1 to 1.5 hours from Dhaka by car or local transport, which makes it ideal for a short trip. The entry fee is quite reasonable, and if you’re staying overnight, rooms start at around 2,500–3,000 BDT depending on the season — which is great value for the environment and services.
The resort is peaceful and surrounded by greenery, with clean swimming pools, a small zoo, and play areas for children. It’s a nice place to relax with family or friends without spending too much. I brought my own snacks and water, which helped save on food costs, but they also have a restaurant inside offering basic meals at a fair price.
Overall, Sonargaon Royal Resort is a budget-friendly place to recharge, especially for those who can’t travel far but want a break from the city noise. Perfect for a one-day or overnight trip!

🌞 Weekend Escape to Lake Moogerah | Chill by the Water + Stargazing Adventure
#summervacay
📍 Location: Lake Moogerah (1.5-hour drive from Brisbane)
☀️ Season: Summer weekend getaway
✨ Why Lake Moogerah?
We’ve always wanted to go stargazing somewhere quiet and peaceful — and Lake Moogerah is one of the best spots near Brisbane for that. So we packed our gear and headed out for a simple, soul-soothing weekend.
🚗 The Drive + Scenic Views
Not long after leaving the city, the scenery started to shift. Open fields, cows and horses grazing under the summer sun — the whole drive felt slow and calming.
Golden grass stretched out like a giant sun-warmed blanket, swaying gently in the breeze. Honestly, it reminded me of those soft wool carpets in my childhood home — comforting and familiar.
🌊 By the Lake
Once we arrived, the view was stunning — calm waters, distant mountains mirrored in the lake, and not a sound except the breeze. We camped right by the lake. Afternoons were for relaxing, fishing, or swimming. As the sky darkened, the stars came out — the real highlight of the trip.
🌌 Stargazing Tips
📷 Bring a camera, tripod, and warm layers (yes, even in summer nights!)
🌠 Check star charts and weather forecasts in advance
🔥 A little campfire or thermos of hot chocolate sets the perfect mood
📝 Useful Tips
Book your campsite in advance (Lake Moogerah Caravan Park is a good choice)
Bring plenty of water and snacks

Ideal for anyone looking to slow down and reconnect with nature
💭 Final Thoughts
It was one of those laid-back trips that didn't need much planning. The lake, the sky, and the quiet were more than enough to recharge my soul. Whether you're into stargazing, nature, or just want a peaceful weekend away — Lake Moogerah is a hidden gem 💙

Hidden Gem in the Basque Country 🇪🇸✨ I’d call it the “Little Switzerland” near Bilbao 🏔️
#summervacay
Feeling bored at home this weekend? Why not go out and enjoy the spring vibes? 🌿🌞
We took the Cercanías Line 3 🚆 from Abando train station all the way to the last stop—about a 50-minute ride!
🎯 Destination: Orduna (You can use your Barik card to enter the station—super convenient!)
This little town has lots of restaurants, so you can enjoy a nice lunch here 🍽️, or do what we did: pack some bocadillos (sandwiches) and have a picnic along the way 🥪🧺!
The route we chose is called Senda Verde de Delika 🌲
It’s super family-friendly—great for kids and dogs too! Very easy and relaxing to walk.
❗️Heads up: The actual starting point is in Delika, a small village next to Orduna.
Since we weren’t driving and there’s no public transport to Delika, we started walking from Orduna instead.
The tourist office told us it would take about 20 minutes… but we took almost an hour 😂
🚗 If you’re driving, definitely park directly in Delika—there’s a free parking lot and it’s super convenient 🅿️!

🇷🇴 Bucharest’s Old Town & a Hotel That’s Pure Gold ✨
Bucharest really impressed us — full of charm, history, and buzzing energy. We stayed at The Marmorosch Bucharest, Autograph Collection, and it was honestly one of the nicest hotel stays we’ve had in a while.
Housed in a beautifully restored former bank, the hotel oozes character — think Art Deco interiors, grand staircases, and a Vault Bar tucked inside the old bank vault (very cool!). We were welcomed with a glass of Prosecco on arrival, which was such a lovely touch — and the staff were genuinely warm and attentive throughout our stay.
The hotel sits right in the heart of Bucharest’s Old Town, where you’ll find cobbled streets, great food, quirky bars and loads of history around every corner. It’s lively, walkable and packed with atmosphere — day and night.
If you’re after a European city break that’s a bit different and full of character, definitely give Bucharest a go. And if you can stay at the Marmorosch — even better.

A Weekend in Kobe – Sea Breezes & City Lights
#cityplaybook
Kobe is the kind of city that feels like a perfect weekend escape. With the ocean on one side and mountains on the other, it offers both scenic beauty and a relaxed urban vibe—all within easy reach.
I started my day at Meriken Park, where the sea breeze, open space, and public art made for a perfect slow morning stroll. Just nearby is the Kobe Port Tower, standing tall and proud with great views from the top.
For this trip, I stayed at Hotel Okura Kobe. The location is fantastic—close to the waterfront and filled with classic elegance. After checking in and taking a breather, I headed out for one last view of the city…
…from Kikuseidai, a lookout point on Mt. Maya known for its “ten million dollar night view.” And yes, it lives up to the name. The sparkling skyline and harbor lights were the perfect way to wrap up the day.
Why I recommend Kobe:
・It’s compact but packed with charm—seaside parks, stylish shops, and cozy cafés
・You get both ocean and mountain views in one day (plus some incredible night scenery)
📍Kobe City, Hyogo, Japan

Sinhagad Fort: Where History Meets the Sky
There are places that impress you, and then there are places that stay with you—Sinhagad Fort is definitely the latter. Perched atop the Sahyadri Hills near Pune, this historic hill fortress offers more than just breathtaking views. It’s a mix of natural beauty, gripping Maratha history, and a truly rewarding trek.
I first visited Sinhagad early one misty morning, and the entire experience felt like stepping into a period drama. The cool breeze, the rising fog through the trees, and the distant call of birds created an almost cinematic setting. As I made my way up the winding path, I could almost hear the echoes of valor from Tanaji Malusare, the Maratha warrior who gave his life defending this fort. The monuments, memorials, and even the names of the bastions (like Kalyan Darwaza and Pune Darwaza) tell stories if you’re willing to listen.
What made the experience truly memorable was the sense of peace that blankets the fort once you reach the top. With panoramic views of the valley and Khadakwasla Dam, and the gentle hum of local vendors preparing piping hot kanda bhaji (onion fritters) and pithla-bhakri, it’s a place where your senses are fully alive.
Best Time to Visit:
October to February is ideal. The weather is cool and the skies are clear. If you love monsoons, June to September offers lush greenery and dreamy mist—just be ready for a slippery trail!
Pro Tips:
Start early in the morning to beat the crowd and heat.
Carry water, and wear good trekking shoes.
Sinhagad is about 35 km from Pune and easily reachable by car or local transport.
Don't miss the Tanaji Malusare Samadhi and the scenic cliffs near the Doordarshan Tower.
