My Travel Essentials

I'd like to share with you my list of travel essentials, whether I'm traveling local or out of the country, these are the things I absolutely must have with me. Of course, it varies depending on what type of trip you're going to embark on. Like if you're traveling as a tourist in a different country, or maybe you're going to a beach destination, or even on a hiking expedition. Your gear will change accordingly. But for basics, these are my must haves...

Macau Adventura Part 2

May 11, 2012 (Friday)

I left the house at around 10am today. I went to visit Lou Lim Loc Garden, coz I heard it's quite nice. It was very near where I stayed, so I just walked. It was a pleasant garden with nice views and I took quite a few pictures. Next, I went to Guia Fortress. I rode a cable car to take me to the top. It was cheap, I only paid 3 Patacas including a return ride. It was my first time riding a cable car, so I was excited but nervous at the same time. The moment the cable car started running, I was kind of freaking out, but it wasn't serious or anything. I'm scared of heights, so a little freaking out was in order. Hahaha.

Macau Adventura Part 1

May 9, 2012 (Wednesday)

I'm off to Macau! This is my first ever SOLO TRIP outside the Philippines, so I'm very excited. Thankfully, my 3:15pm flight to Manila wasn't delayed. I arrived in Manila NAIA Airport at 4:30pm and then I was to fly to Macau at 7:30pm. Our plane was on time, but it took a few minutes before we could fly off, so the whole flight was delayed and I arrived in Macau at approximately 10:30pm instead of 9:30. My cousin arranged for my accommodations in Macau, so someone from there was waiting for me at the airport to take me to the house. I exchanged some of my Hong Kong dollars to Macau Pataca at the airport and then we boarded Bus 26 to take us back to the city.

Day 3 & 4 In Siem Reap, Cambodia

April 25, 2012 (Wednesday)

We woke up late today. At 9:30am, John picked us up at the guesthouse. We went to Wat Preah Prom Rath, a temple in the middle of the city. It was nice, very visually appealing. We even met an Australian guy there who talked to us for a bit and we took a picture with him. Then we went to Old Market to buy some souvenirs and pasalubong. At around 12:30 nn we went for lunch in a nearby restaurant.

Day 2 In Siem Reap, Cambodia

April 24, 2012 (Tuesday)

We woke up really early today to catch the sunrise in Angkor Wat. We woke up at 4:30 in the morning, got ready, and left the guesthouse on John's tuktuk again. We also arranged for Sameath to meet us at Angkor Wat. We needed another day of his guidance, not to mention his photography skills. Hahaha.
