One Day In… Beach Bali
This photo was taken in 2015 when we visited Bali during March school holiday. The sunset at the beach near our hotel, Holiday Inn Baruna Bali was amazing. Imagine just listening to the sound of the crashing waves and admiring the changing of colours slowly. It makes me feel calm especially during this coronavirus pandemic where most of us try not to get out of the house too often. Calm and tranquility! My post on Bali – what to do and where to stay talks about activities you can do while in Bali. The post also introduced Holiday Inn Baruna Bali where we stayed during the trip.

One Day In… Magic Fountain Montjuic, Barcelona Spain
I was mesmerised by the Magic Fountain show when we were in Barcelona. Of course, I had planned to go there for the show to experience the magical moment of combining music with water to express the emotions of the songs. It was worth the time and agony to brace the freezing wind during the performance. I did not include this video in my previous post TOP Things To Do In Barcelona to showcase the magnificent fountain. So I decided to do it justice by adding this video here to share with all of you. Additional information about the timing of the show. Goldilocks Lifestyle Travel - Blog

Leaning Tower of Pisa
When my travel partner and I were in Florence, we made an impromptu decision of going for a half a day trip to see the famous Leaning Tower of Pisa. It was easy to get to the place, just about 1 hour by train from Florence and 20 minutes walk from the Pisa Centrale Station, we could see one of the most Instagram landmarks in Italy. So, that day we went to Pisa, was a gloomy day. The sky was covered with grey clouds and it looked like it was going to rain. But this had not stopped us from having a good time there. We took the regional train early…

When in Japan, the most tried street food I had eaten was… the ICE CREAM. It was winter when I visited the lovely Osaka and Kyoto. However, the weather did not deter me from eating the soft creamy ice cream that I could see practically everywhere I go. Be it in a restaurant or street hawker store, ice creams were enjoyed by the old and the young. So here, I want to show you the photo that I had taken when I was in Kyoto. The vanilla ice cream in the cone was sweet and delicious. One bite and it just melted inside my mouth. The twisted soft ice cream that…

The fluid Montjuic Magic Fountain
Before visiting Barcelona, I did research on must-visit places and Montjuic Magic Fountain was one of them. On certain days, the fountain would come to live with its music and lights choreography that would capture everyone’s attention. My travel partner and I had waited for musical fountain show on one of the weekends. Not too long, people were gathering at the stairways and pathways near the fountain waiting for its live action to start. Not even the cold night with the chilling wind blowing could stop the crowd to group together for this. Once the show started, the chattering among the crowd softened and the infectious music from the loudspeakers brought the…
