Authentic Bites, Boundless Yums
The Roman mornings beckoned with the promise of exploring beyond hotel breakfasts. Caffé Trombetta, a quaint spot near Termini, lured me in search of a morning indulgence. Verdict? It was just okay – a valiant attempt at veering from hotel prices but not quite a breakfast ballad.
I checked Get Your Guide for some tours and trips before travelling to Malaga. I really wanted to go to the Caminito del Rey and Granada to see Alhambra, and I therefore booked a ticket for me to Caminito del Rey. My brother’d already went there back in 2019, and he too recommended me to go there, as he nows I love to hike in nature.
Then I had a few days on my own, while my brother went for work. Fuengirola is a beautiful town, and as my brother lived only few metres from the beach, I work up early to go to the seaside and enjoy the sunrise. It was some priceless moments, and I could feel how much I needed this kind of space during a hard time. I felt so grateful while enjoying those moments, and they helped me to recover and come back to the normal.
After a day-long trip to the Palm Beach, Skagen and Grenen, we went to Råbjerg Mile. Yes, really we did.
Råbjerg Mile, the (mini) desert-like place of Denmark. It is actually a migrating set of sand dunes, that keeps moving about 15 metres per year, towards Kattegat. It is the largest of its kind in Northern Europe. It has a space of about 1000 m long and 1000 m wide dune of sand, where the highest point is approx. 40 m above sea level. I think this place is mesmerizing, and definitely a must-visit!
After the visit to the temple of Batu Caves, we went back to the hotel, but right after went for dinner. We were a bit afraid of finding a place at Jalan Masjid India, and searched for other options. A tamil guy working at the hotel helped us finding some places. He recommened us to go for Sangeetha Restaurant at Leboh Ampang.
Last day in Singapore – first day/evening in KL…
Starting the day with breakfast at Toast Box. I really love Toast Box. I don’t know why, but I just love it.
And that was the moment I felt, that I didn’t want to leave this place 🙁
We went to Sri Krishnan Temple for a friday pooja, before taking the flight from Changi Airport to KL.
In KL we quickly checked in at Verdant Hill Hotel, took a Grab to Jalan Masjid India for some vegetarian dinner. This area looks so creepy, and the people living there also told us to stay away from that place. We quickly went for some shopping, and never came back. Haha.
Here, masala thosai at Sangeetha Vegetarian Restaurant. I guess it’s the same branch as the Sangeetha restaurants in Tamil Nadu. But the food was absolutely good, and with good service.
We went for a quick shopping at Ajuntha Textiles. Bought some panjabis, sarees, vaeddis and some small kitchen stuff.
I must tell you, I already felt uneasy in KL, and was not super happy. Felt that Singapore is far better, and I still have that feeling. We talked with several tamil people in KL, that could tell us about high level discrimination 🙁 So sad…
Note: When in KL, I highly recommend you to use Grab for transport. DON’T go for the local taxis. And beware of thieves everywhere!
