PARIS….The City of Lights

It’s such a great experience that at last I’ve visited and explore the famous city in the world PARIS, FRANCE. In fact it’s not my plan! I’m looking for another state here in the US where I can spent a week for my birthday. My first choice is Disney World. While looking for ticket and accommodation, a site pop up and offer choices from European countries. In my mind I’m thinking, ” why not?” So I chose Paris, with out any compromise. I don’t even asked my friends opinion who have visited the place. I got a good price for a round trip flight. Wow I can’t believe that what I have just seen on theaters and read on books at last will become a dreams come true. A reality…. I’m so excited πŸ˜† …. let’s explore and joined me!

@Victoria’s Butchart Gardens πŸŒΉπŸŒ·πŸŒΎπŸ₯€πŸŒΈπŸŒΌπŸŒ»πŸŒΊπŸ„

It’s been a while since I first visited this beautiful haven of gorgeous flowers and fountains. On my first Holland America Cruises in Alaska, in which included Victoria BC on our itinerary. It was a quick visit and were in a hurry because it’s getting dark, so I never had the chance to wander around. But came a chance which I don’t expected and it happened in two months. On May and July 2019 I got the invitation to spent a vacation with friends in Victoria BC, Canada. Wow, it’s the moment I’ve been waiting for. I’m so excited and immediately packed my suitcase and prepare for take off. Yahooo, hehehe. Finally I can explore Butchart Gardens in broad daylight. Really it’s so exciting and wonderfully created. There are five different kind of gardens that houses the 55 acres of flower beds. The Sunken Garden, Japanese Garden, Rose Garden, Italian Garden and the Mediterranean Garden. Butchart Gardens were designated as a National Historic Site

1) Sunken Garden – it’s the biggest among them. It took 9 years to create this 5 acres garden that compose of 151 flower beds.

This is the first part of my adventure in this gorgeously well maintained and beautifully arranged Sunken Garden. It’s so huge that I need to spent a lot of time taking souvenir photos as well as smelling the fresh scents of every flowers surrounding the place. And showing their best blooms. Every season they changes the flower beds and introduce a new flower collections on that particular season’s

Enjoy and have fun….. visit Butchart Garden and see for yourself the amazing flower collections….T3r1bel

Falls Adventure…Hidden Gem

I was in the place for a week but I don’t have enough time to explore and discover beautiful places in Bellingham. The weather never cooperated. The rain always blocked my curiousness… so when I got the chance … I grabbed it.

These are the four sets of waterfalls at Whatcom Falls in Bellingham. It is located in 241 – acre Whatcom Falls Park in Bellingham, Washington USA. Actually the falls are on Whatcom Creek, which leads from Lake Whatcom in Bellingham Bay. You can also climbed in several miles of well maintained walking trails. I was there on the first week of winter so bundles up. Enjoy every steps and take memories of these wonderful place.

Beaches…. in Paradise πŸ–πŸβ›±πŸŒ‹

Who never knew about the 50th state of the USA. I think everyone knows and heard a lot of positive comments about it. You’re right and I’m one of the lucky Ohana (local resident) who enjoys the beautiful climate, landscape, mountains, waterfalls, ocean and plenty of beaches stretch along the shoreline. Pretty much all these beaches attracts a lot of tourist all over the world. Above is the Waikiki Beach πŸ– where most of the tourists spend the day and the busiest place in the island. Diamond Head adds the scenic view from afar. Other beaches are located a few miles and tourist are now aware to explore it and enjoy snorkeling, kayaking, sunbathing or just enjoy watching the waves 🌊 and some surfers πŸ„ πŸ„β€β™€οΈ n
