Back in London - More of the City and its Boroughs

London Skyline - View from Primrose HillI went back to London for work. I made sure that I was going to be in London and try to see London the way locals do. So for two weeks, I made time to see the city after office hours and during the weekend. It was a lot of effort but it was rewarding.

Seeing London how the locals see it made me appreciate the city even more. A bonus was seeing my childhood friends M and J once again.

Life is a beach - My unforgettable trip to Mykonos

Mykonos - Little Venice harbor bw Mykonos is like Santorini's younger and hipper sibling. Whatever Mykonos lacks in sunset views it makes up for its beaches and the party atmosphere to lure the monied and the beautiful.

The trip to the island of Delos to get a dose of archeology and history was a bonus!

Pinoy in Greece - My unforgettable travels to Athens

Athens - Acropolis bwI had been told before to skip Athens or give it only a day when traveling to Greece.

Mijo and I were skeptical about this suggestion and we wanted to give Athens a chance. We were rewarded by our decision and the longer we stayed in the city the more we loved it.
