Cannes, France

Since we were quite tired of bus riding yesterday, Dear and I decided to skip Cannes excursion and stayed on the ship. However we took a short walk along the La Croisette, which is the famous waterfront promenade there.

Nice, France

Located on the French Riviera, Nice is only 18 kilometers west of Monaco.Therefore we have a chance to do some shopping and dine there.

Italy Cruises (April 21-May 2, 2010)

During April 12 to May 2, 2010 Dear and I went on vacation to Italy and nearby countries via luxury cruises. First we flew to Rome and spent two days there before embarked on Regatta, one of the Oceania Cruises. We sailed from Rome to 13 interesting places in Italy, Monaco, France, Greece, Montenegro, Croatia, and Slovenia before disembarked at Venice, Italy. We then took a train to Milan and spent two days there before coming home. This trip is very special for us because we have never been on luxury cruises before, and both of us are very fond of Italy and Italian Food.

Wang Nam Khieo

I went to Wang Nam Khieo again after 10 months absence and stayed at Khun Sivaporn's vacation home. The temperature was around 20 degrees celsius and breezy, making us feel like winter time.
