Las Casas Filipinos De Acuzar was the first on my sister’s list of “Things to See” while on break here. And so, the whole family tagged along for a Filipino Boodle and Heritage Weekend. The typhoon’s relentless winds and rains didn’t seem to bother us […]
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 […]
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 […]

Cruised back to Oslo. Ventured the City via HOHO with the whole family this time. A great way to explore the city at our own pace. Our boat’s view as we docked by the Bygdoy Peninsula. The peninsula is mainly a residential area, but in […]
I now understand why they say Copenhagen is the happiest city on earth. Cobbled, bike-friendly streets, colourful town houses, art galleries, flea and food markets coupled with cozy cafes and vintage stores make up a pretty cool back drop. All conveniently within its compact […]
