Even as a kid, I went all over India, thanks to Maa's passion for travel, every vacation was a new city, Mumbai, Kerala, Sikkim, Varanasi, Calcutta, Shimla, Haridwar-Rishikesh, Bangalore, Delhi....we have had fun times and long vacations! International travel begun after I got married. I travelled to the UK alone and we frolicked in Singapore for 10 days!! I have said enough about Italy here and here and here! We are lucky enough to be in Paris now, and it gives us a chance to travel all over Europe. We just about managed to see a bit of Paris, in about 3 months!! For the long weekend, we made a trip to Antwerp and on a whim, stopped on the way in Brussels too. Some glimpses...

Belgium is quaint and beautiful with an old-world charm....especially Antwerp with its cobbled streets, trams and old towers and big fountains...reminds of a slightly modern Calcutta!

Amazing food at a Thai Restaurant....I was so happy to see Buddha EVERYWHERE!! From the decor to the candle holder!! I am inspired to learn Thai cooking now...very similar ingredients to Indian cooking but with a lot of aroma...

I wish all employers had a benefit like LTC :)

Beautiful. I was nodding my head all along about the travel. We are of the same category, the one big common thing between hubby and me.

I am glad to know that there are other people who share the same interests, just like we do!
Really lovely pics! Lucky you :)
Thank you Homecooked! :-) You are right, indeed, I am lucky!
How romantic .. I need to pass on this idea to my hubby too. We love to travel but so far it has always been with friends or family. Beautiful pictures there!
