My venture

So...this blog is about the Sunday lunch we had outside Manila....at Antonio's and the volcano hike..... On Sunday my sister organised lunch at Antonio's....it was about a 1.5hr drive...without traffic....so off we went at 11:00....the ride....great scenery but wow.....the driver....he was braking and accelerating like he had never done it before....i got so car sick...wow....i was so glad when we finally arrived...and yes there was traffic so we arrived just before 13:00. The setting was stunning....an old house set among trees and bushes...tropical....beautiful....here is a pic So at Antonio's it is a set menu....house salad....soup of the day...then you choose your main course...there are about 30 options and then you choose your dessert....there are about 10 options....and the main course determines price of your set menu....interesting concept.....so the house salad was divine...the salad was sprinkled with cranberries, caramalized walnuts, feta and raspberry v

So....i left Pattaya to go and see my sis in Manila for a few days...here i would also meet up with my mom....the main reason was to have her bachelorette and her bridal shower.....but before i start....i forgot to mention....in Thailand kim took me on a Harley Ride...was so much fun....def something i wanna do again...no idea why i forgot...i guess we did so many things that this escaped....but....def somethingni wanna do again...next time i guess i should take pics...man....where was my mind..... So...as mentioned then main reason was to go see my sister to hold the bachelorette and bridal shower....so the first day we were there we arrived late afternoon so dinner was planned....Italian....i said to my sister i felt like something Western....italian it was...very casual but very good food.....we had a carprese...proscuitto and mango and a pasta...the pasta was really cool..it serves 2 people and you can choose any 3 pastas from the menu....so we chose a cream base, an olive oil b

So...as promised....part two....lets talk about some relaxation sessions kim and i had.....yes...loved them all...and again i cannot put my finger onto which one i liked best....the one day we went for massages...but at a proper salon...not those hole in the wall type salons....kim says that there, often the ladies are untrained, chat, and messenger...that, in my opinion, kills the entire relaxation process....so better and much nicer to go to a proper salon....kim booked 1.5hr aromatherapy massage in a double room....massage was fab...actually the entire session was fab.....from shower, to massage to tea etc etc......so professional....loved it.....sorry...no pics.... Kim also took me to play golf...used some of the many set of clubs he has...and my word...i dont think i have ever played so well...men Callaway clubs and the driver worked wonders....amazing round of golf...lets not talk about kim's round....here is an interesting fact....all caddys are LADIES.....and you have to

So....travelling again....love it....and we all know how i love new places.....so...this time im travelling to Pattaya....kim and i flew to Bangkok and there we made our way to Pattaya....so....what did we do the couple of days....explore, relax and try foodies....and yes...try cappuccinos....where to start....lets talk some foodies....then in the next part i can chat about different things..... Cappuccinos.....the best was at a place called Cafe Au Bon Pain....man...strong coffee and amazing foam...lots of it and thick....we shared some spinach and ricotta pastry and had cappuccinos.....i was so impressed with it....here a pic.... Of course we also tried vaious Thai food...the famous green papaya salad....which i enjoyed...its quite spicy...interesting dressing...but great....some fresh springrolls with a gravy sauce....i have never tasted anything like that....and it tasted good...but for me...i couldnt have too many pieces...but def worth a try....the green papaya salad i wi
