Las Vegas (for Non-gamblers)

Published on by Berna PrestoLeave a comment

Las Vegas is famous for extravagant entertainment offerings – if it sounds anything but ordinary, you can probably do or find it here. It is most popular however as a gambling destination, and though it is the place for serious high rollers, anyone can also have fun with the many slot machines scattered all over the city.

What if casinos and clubs are not your thing, perhaps you have not even the slightest idea how to make a slot machine work 🙋‍ Don’t discount Vegas just yet. There’s actually some pretty cool stuff you can do here that does not involve a spinning wheel or a rolling dice.

A Day in London

Published on by Berna PrestoLeave a comment

First, a little disclaimer. London’s pretty amazing. I knew the moment I got off the train at St Pancreas International. I realised very soon too there was no way I could scratch the surface of this British capital in a day. One can easily spend a few hours at St Pancreas hanging in one of what seemed to me an endless row of bakery and coffee shops. Who doesn’t love cosy coffee shops! There’s also a number of fancy dining options for people who want more than just a quick bite. Missed something at Oxford Street? You’ll find many of London’s High Street brands here. Oh yes, this is not your average train station.

Now again, with only a day? Keep on reading! 😀

Paris: Highlights of my first trip

Published on by Berna PrestoLeave a comment

I don’t keep a travel bucketlist. I read books, magazines, and lots of online stuff and discover some place that catches my attention, and I start planning my next trip. There are a few places though that lingers in my mind but have never got around to turning into a holiday plan. Paris might very well be one of those, perhaps I have always reserved it for a romantic trip.

One January day, as I was planning my trip to San Francisco, I chanced upon the fares to Paris in Emirates’ website. Lo and behold it was almost half as expensive as the return tickets to San Fo.

In ten months, I found myself in the City of Love. Dreams do come true! Keep on reading! 😀
