I 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.
Mykonos is like Santorini's younger and hipper sibling. Whatever Mykonos lacks in sunset views it makes up for its beaches and the party vibe to lure the monied and the beautiful and also us - the commoners.
Santorini for me was blue skies, island landscape, white on white houses, turquoise water and the sunshine.
I had been told before to skip Athens or give it only a day when traveling to Greece.
It wasn't in our original plan to go to Cinque Terre. I am glad we ended up going to Cinque Terre because the five towns of Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola and Riomaggiore are absolutely stunning.
In Milan, Mijo and I saw Da Vinci's Last Supper and we were in awe. For me, it is one of the must-see masterpieces.
Venice is just like how I had imagined it upclose. Charming, beautiful, decadent, old world. I have never seen anything like it.
