Martin Mere wetland, Lancashire

I visited Martin Mere Wetland reserve at Lancashire in 2011. I fondly remembered the large land and walking aroud while I was scanning through old pictures and decided to write about it.

Pls plan your visit --> https://www.wwt.org.uk/wetland-centres/martin-mere/plan-your-visit/

I vividly remember the nice spaces created for photographers and it was awesome to setup tripod and tracking the birds. I also recollect the cute, active  Grey crowned Crane and it was very nice to see it running here and there and never stopping.

More than hundreds of birds are there inside wet lands and season details are nicely detailed out in the portal.

Enjoy and support nature.

Eat out at Jim Thompson, Singapore

We went for a dinner at Jim Thompson. It is a beautiful property at Dempsey hill, Minden road.

Do I have to really say, it is a Thai restaurant ?

Fabulous menu... so many options... We started conservatively with Satay and the traditional mango salad, Spring roll...

& the real surprise was the pineapple rice .... wonderfully presented and tasted perfectly... I was avoiding this for a long time thinking it will be too sweet... but it wasn't !!!

Ambience was so perfect and we order Salentein wine from Malbec. It turned out to be a ideal choice and the team members stuck with it for entire dinner session and we repeated the wine order.

The meat was good too. either the chicken or prawns...  crew was good and caring. They have some dancers with fancy costume, nails and move around couple of times...

Be prepared to spend couple of hours when you go there... great place to hang out as couples or team dinner... Bon Appetit !

Exploring Putrajaya

Putrajaya is close to KL and the drives takes anywhere from 30-50 min based in traffic and peak hour. It is also well connected to KLIA airport.

It is part of Selangor district and Designed to be a administrative town of Malaysian govt and its officials, the town gives some sort of European feel and the river cuts across nicely. To simply put, Engineers had designed and executed well while creating Putrajaya.

There is lot to explore ... like., Putra Mosque, Iron Mosque, Mercu Tanda Park, Botanical Garden, Putraja Lake and Bridge. District 21 theme park takes care of family needs. IOI City Mall offers more than 300 outlets, movies and ice skating facilities.

It is a good place for site seeing; plenty of food options; Do explore and dont forget to take your sun glasses ! I forgot and I struggled a bit in bright sun shine !
