China

things to do in hong kong with kids, hong kong attractions for kids, hong kong family holiday

Is there any country that showcases the gleaming, new, swanky against the traditional, centuries-old heritage as China? I am yet to explore mainland China, having been only to Hong Kong which became reunited with China in 1997 but retains unique rights as a special administrative region (SAR).

Many of you DMed me about the details of last week Many of you DMed me about the details of last week’s #roadtrip to #uttarakhand. 
With travel within India unlocked mostly, there was no trouble driving to the hills, or finding eating joints / clean restrooms en route. 
.
.
While we practised safety measures - masks on when we went to a local store, kept our physical distance from others and washed hands regularly- it was such a relief to be outdoors breathing in the fresh air, looking at great views and forgetting a bit about how unpredictable 2020 has been.
.
.
Highly recommend Casa Sara, the bungalow we stayed at in Sitla #mukteshar. 
You can look and book on vista rooms. 3 large bedrooms. Modern bathrooms. An equipped kitchen with the caretaker family staying at the property. But what I loved most about this place was the large garden and the deck.
.
Can you hear the chirping birds in the video I shot from the garden. I spent most of the daytime here, soaking in the sun ☀️ and the views, just 💓 the scenery and the peace right at the doorstep! And the star gazing... OMG!
.
.
Happy to respond to any Qs that you may have.

This is how #mukteshwar greeted us when we reached This is how #mukteshwar greeted us when we reached here. It would be fun to explore some of the cafes on the main road. 
.
.
Although I suspect we wouldn’t step out of the lovely home we are staying at in Sitla, barring for a trek through the forest, at all. But swipe and look at the view from the garden. Can you blame me for lounging here all day?

I recommend exploring a cozy mountain cafe and stuffing yourself silly. Then going for a trek to burn it off. What say?

I can’t tell you how liberating it feels to mana I can’t tell you how liberating it feels to manage a #roadtrip to the hills ⛰. #Travelagain after 7 months!! 
And despite online school today morning from the hills, my daughter is delighted.
.

This viewpoint seen here is within the property where we are staying at Gethia. We enjoyed a high tea ☕️ (swipe to see photos from yesterday evening). And then saw the sky and hills slowly turn dark.
.
.
So would you prefer your morning cuppa with the blue sky, or a drink 🥃 with the warm #sunsetsky?

What I want to do is not continue this #throwback🔙 family travel series, and actually travel with my family! 
.
.
Oh well, it’s quite possible to do a short getaway / road trip within the country and I am keeping my fingers crossed that it happens soon for us 🤞! 
The more ambitious and the ones who can take more time off should look into all the travel bubbles being formed between countries / regions and plan something for autumn or winter.
.
.
Back to the throwback series. I can’t say that is hard reminiscing about Croatia. Don’t start me gushing off on all the good times we had there. Here is a peak.
.
1: Me on top of mountain Hum (island of #vis)
2 & 3: There is a reason why #plitvicelakesnationalpark is one the most visited sites in Croatia
4 & 5: We had the best of times in #hvarisland. I would go back there in a jiffy 
6,7,8: I needn’t tell the #gotfans what it is to walk the walls in Dubrovnik and Ston.
9: Kayaking around the island of #lokrum taking in the view of Dubrovnik

I am exploring cycling 🚴‍♀️ with friends I am exploring cycling 🚴‍♀️ with friends to get some outdoor exercise done in the new normal. And I would love to start a series on how I have managed to combine some adventure on family trips.
.

This #familytravel to #jaisalmer many years ago was one such amazing combo - family fun, cycling, sand boarding, sightseeing. Although no trip to Jaisalmer is complete without the spectacular Jaisalmer Fort or the havelis in the city, and we covered those during our trip, here is a peak to beyond the main city. 
.
.
I have selected a few of my favourite shots from #badabagh, a royal 👑 cenotaph and the expansive #thardesert. Don’t miss the windmills in the end. 
.
.
So, how are you thinking of travel - add some outdoor fun?
