Buses and Trams


Pic 1: A traingle base tram for the steep streets of Lisbon. Trams always remind me of Dadaji's bachpan in Calcutta. He talks about the trams so fondly.
Pic 2: BEST.. The Red and white buses in Mumbai.. Mumma's bachpan.
Pic 3:Me chatting with some lovely men at a bus stop in a small village in Portugal. "How long have you been waiting for the bus?"..The buses only run once an hour they told me..

Music is my aeroplane.. pleasure striked with pain....

Scotland




And then I went to Edinburgh... caught up with a friend I hadn't seen in a long time... it was nice.
Thanks for an enjoyable trip Meghna.. and sorry for making you walk up to Salisbury Craigs!
Edinburgh is such a fairytale city. I love that every second building is beautiful.. and looks like it should be something important.. I mean some tourist attraction rather than just a shop or someone's house...
Picture 1: Me at Edinburgh Castle
Picture 2: Meghna and I with the proud Scotsman in a kilt(skirt!!)
Picture 3:Enticing innocent young men to join the great Scottish army.. very nicely done

Ardennes and Liege



The Easter Weekend with Jeroen's family was great fun.
We went to a little town called Trois Points in the south of Belgium. This is the French speaking Walonian region. The Ardennes are the Álps'of Belgium. Very beautiful scenery. We went for a few walks, enjoyed the comfort of a house with a fireplace and even spent the whole afternoon at a Spa. This was in a town called Spa which has Natural Mineral Springs.. and the name Spa comes from this town.
Pretty cool.

On the way to the Ardennes Manu and I stopped in a town called Liege which is reputed for the best Waffles in Belgium.. of course I indulged.

Lazy

I am sooooo lazy. Well I should really say busy.
I am back from my trip.. Infact it's been a few weeks since I got back. I just haven't had the time to sit in front of the computer.

So where do I start...
