Maldives is a country with Islam as the state religion. Easy to find halal food. The Maldivian people also are so friendly and helpful. 

So damn awesome to experience the seaplane about 35-40 mnts from Male Airport to our private resort, Palm Beach Resort and Spa (PB). 

Palm Beach Island Resort & Spa Madhiriguraidhoo, 

Lhaviyani Atoll Maldives, Maldives

Sampai je kami dihidangkan dengan air kelapa dan buah oren yang segarkan tekak dan tenangkan dada seleas seaplane 45 minit tu bising yang amat. Tak pernah naik sea plane. Macam Malindo kot plane tu. Hahaha penumpang dia hanya kami 4 beranak dan 2 orang pilot and co-pilot.

Kami pilih beach villa dengan 4 katil, ada buaian depan rumah, dalam 200m mengadap laut bagi anak2 puas mandi. Ya Allah air dia sangat2 cantik hanya Allah sahaja yang tahu. Pasir sangant halus dan lembut. Pulau tu tak ramai orang so mandi manda la tak ingat dunia orang tak nampak.

Husband dah book basikal konon nak cycling keliling pulau esoknya. Kat sini memang betul2 focus on our vacation sebab masa penuh dengan mandi laut, main sukan (macam2 sukan ada) dan makan! Makanan halal banyak sebab ramai je orang Islam. Alhamdulillah..

malam je anak2 pengsan sekali dengan Daddy dorg sebab kepenatan dan kekenyangan..

Tips bercuti ke Italy, Rome dan Florence Part 1

Salam semua! Tips bercuti bersama anak kecil ke Florence dan Rome? I harap sikit banyak dapat membantu.. Tips utama dengan anak2 ni:

(1)   Makan tepat waktu (kalau lapar anak2 meragam nanti)

(2) Diapers or Pakaian perlu selesa (sebaik2nya cotton dan bebas untuk mereka bergerak, diapers dan wipes selalu kena ada kat handbag mak or di stroller so senang anytime if penuh then tukar je mana2 toilet)

First day sampai malam, semua dah tertido. bangun je the next morning mom kena siap breakfast panas2 sebab sejuk time ni in Dec!

Di Florence, ini bus kami untuk ke Barberino Designer Outlet, nestled amongst the breathtaking Tuscan hills just 30 minutes from Florence. Di outlet ni memang banyak barang2 Italian and international brands up to 70% off.. berbaloi borong sebab murah. Tiket bus boleh google and beli online, follow je timing yang dia bagi ada dalam 3-4 options untuk kita naik bus dan station kat mana untuk tunggu bus tu. Selesa, mudah dan murah. Kami pergi awal2 pagi, then seharian lepak di Barberino.. shopping and jalan2.. lepas tu petang ambil bus balik.

Ini adalah aktiviti dan tempat2 yang kami lawat.. Ferragamo memang murah. Murah di sini la.. kasut dia selesa tapi tengok kaki juga kot. Kalau kaki depan tu lebar sangat nanti sakit. Tengok bentuk kaki kita.. Ferragamo ni bahagian depan dia mcm tirus ala2 model..

Halal Kebab restaurant..

Their leather products memang wajib beli. 

I bought 2 pieces of leather handbags for my mom and MIL.

Then we decided to lepak here.. at Gilli 1733 Firenze Caffeteria with husband and my kids. Love. Gilli is the oldest café in the city of Florence. Established over 270 years ago by a Swiss family in Medici-era Florence, it started as a pastry shop steps away from the Duomo. In the mid-1800s, it moved to Via degli Speziali, and from there to its current location in Piazza della Repubblica.

Builing belakang tu Baptistery of Saint John, one of the oldest building zaman2 Michelangelo and Lorenzo..

Piazza della Repubblica.

The former Roman city centre and, following the Unification of Italy, the centre of public life in Florence.

Piazza della Repubblica is home to the historical Caffé Gilli, Caffé Paskowski and Caffé delle Giubbe Rosse which were meeting points for many of the city's artists and writers in the past.

The night time is the best for this Piazza - there were street performers and artisans (mostly good), a merry-go-round lit up, restaurants, etc. to see. Lots of crowds looking on and appreciating the busy atmosphere!

Area sini pon dekat dengan Hard Rock Cafe Florence. Kami memang suka kumpul TShirt HRC pon.. so beli la 4 pcs utk kids sekali 

Halal Italian cheesy food.. 

Latte and orange before naik train to Rome...
