Croatia and Slovenia were just lovely. Our Day Trip to parts of Bosnia and Herzegovina was an appetiser to indulge more of the Balkan States in the near future. And as we moved up North, we capped our adventure with some “La Dolce […]

2017 Christmas Mediterranean Cruise And Private Tours
For families wanting total relaxation and freedom from hosting during the Christmas season, a cruise is an ideal way to unwind together.

Dreamy Day in Provence (Day 7 Christmas Cruising 2017)
Our final stop was at Marseille, the Gateway to the beautiful Provence region. We customised our private tour to drive us to Avignon and L ‘Isle Sur La Sorgue along the way back. The day was well spent and our drive through idyllic landscapes was […]
Discovering Roots in Genova (Day 6 Christmas Cruising 2017)
Stories of our Justiniani Family tracing back to our Italian Roots was always amusing. Sure, my mom and her siblings could pass as Italians with their fine bone structure and striking heights – and photos of my dashing Grandfather could definitely solidify the hopeful premise. […]

Our Scandinavian Adventure was two years in the making. Initially, we were discouraged to take a Cruise because of days wasted at sea and the inevitable 2D stop in St. Petersburg, which we’ve done back in May 2011 (https://whereintheworldispennyk.com/category/europe/russia/). Our travel days were limited […]
A Memorable Day in Stockholm
Despite being spread across 14 islands, Stockholm’s 57 bridges mean it is well-connected and essentially compact. Stockholm was indeed the best for last! Given our ship’s massive size, we had to dock 55km away from the city. That was a challenge for us to plan our […]
Helsinki Chillin’
Revisiting our Day in Helsinki. Despite the chill, it was a pleasant day. Helsinki felt more like a large town rather than a city. We sauntered around the touristy sights and just enjoyed the friendly vibe along the charming districts. The popular Esplanade Park, […]
