It was finally time to bid goodbye to the Lofoten islands. We really had an AMAZING time here. We are keeping our fingers crossed that we could come back again in the near future to immerse ourselves in the peaceful and zen-like surroundings. All good things will come to an end. đŚ Our next stop … More Guide to Bergen (Honeymoon: Day 13)
They say that travelling makes one modest, as you see what a tiny place you occupy in the world. The quote truly sums up our experience for the trip – snowstorms and gale, only to be rewarded with sights that we could only dream of. (PS: This will be a photo-intensive post as no words can … More Guide to Lofoten Islands (Honeymoon: Day 12)
I’m interrupting the streak of blog posts on our honeymoon to announce that I’m one year older. Here’s to share with you our recent staycation experience at M Studio (Singapore) (as part of my birthday celebration). M studio is a 4 star loft hotel under the Millenium Hotels group. It is located at Robertson Quay, a place … More (Staycay at M Studio) My 28th Birthday
It was still snowing when we woke up the next day.  The husband planned our schedule based on the weather forecast. We wanted to minimise the chances of being caught in heavy snow and rain outdoors. After experiencing the drastic fluctuations in the weather conditions first-hand, we had newfound respect for Mother Nature. After breakfast, a brief … More Guide to Lofoten Islands (Honeymoon: Day 11)
The skies were still grey and gloomy when we woke up, but that did not deter us from heading out. Our first stop was HenningsvĂŚr, a small fishing village that we had missed out the day before. HenningsvĂŚr is actually closer to Svolvaer (where we set off from the day before) than Leknes (where we were at). We … More Guide to Lofoten Islands (Honeymoon: Day 10)
While planning for the trip, the husband insisted that we should include Lofoten Islands in our itinerary after reading about its wonderful landscapes and natural beauty – mountains set against the sea, fishing villages and cabins, wild weathers and of course the northern lights (due to its location within the arctic circle). Many renowned photographers had … More Guide to Lofoten Islands (Honeymoon: Day 9)
We woke up late on our last day in Tromso. The lethargy was real after two consecutive nights of Northern Lights chasing.  The snow hadn’t stopped since it started the night before. It was our last day in Tromso, having had spent 3 days there, and the grey skies seemed to match our mood. We initially … More Guide to Tromsø – Hurtigruten (Honeymoon: Day 7 & 8)
We had a late start after returning late from the Northern Lights chase the previous night. The weather was bright and sunny throughout the day, and we headed out to town to visit a few museums after brunch. By then, we had started to master the trick to prevent ourselves from slipping on melted snow … More Guide to Tromsø (Honeymoon: Day 6)
We booked the Northern Lights Minibus chase by Chasing Lights for two nights. It costs NOK 1800/pax for the first night, NOK 1700/pax for the second night, and NOK 1500/pax for subsequent nights. We read that it’s better to book at least two nights of the chasing lights tour because if we aren’t lucky on the first … More Guide to Tromsø (Honeymoon: Day 5, Part II)
We woke up early on our second day in Tromsø. It was an action-packed day as we went dog sledding in the morning, followed by a Northern Lights minibus chase at night. We recommend booking a tour with an agency and leave yourself in the hands of the experts to bring you to places with high chances … More Guide to Tromsø (Honeymoon: Day 5, Part I)
