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.

Magnificient Moscow

The Russian capital of Moscow can be described in one word... Magnificient. Why ? It is the sheer size ... be it Red Square, metro stations, victory park or the Moskva river etc etc. I stayed at Weekend Inn Apartments at Ulitsa Pyatnitskaya ... it had a weird elevator.. but room was good and had a decent common kitchen. What i loved was the proximity to Red Square..... kind of 1 km walk and a starbucks shop on its way ! Out of the all the cathedrals you visit, Saint Basil is very unique... it is some kind of fusion architecture, colorful. It has a character and the best part... it looks same on what you saw on wall posts or videos on new channels... Red Square has lot of attractions like Lenin's Mausoleum, Kazan cathedral and Kremlin and they are all unique in its own way. Moscow's metro stations are so huge. It is like some 5 storey escalators... and superb, lavish mosaics, sculputres and stained glass art work. Do not miss visiting these fabulous metro sta

What to do in Bintan and Batam

-
There are two nice towns near Singapore and they are as called Batam and Bintan. Oh yes, you are right - they are in Indonesia. Let us chat about what to do there ! Trust me., they are ideal weekend getaways... Batam: Ferry and Immigration:  Simple to reach, just an hour of ferry ride. No heavy tides. Straight forward immigration process at both sides. Sometimes, you might have put up with 30 min in Queue at Indonesian sides during peak hours. But 3 day or 4 day week ends - be there much ahead. You generally dont get questions about your purpose of visit or where you stay ... Hotels:  Lot of good hotels in Batam - ideal place to stay is Nagoya as it is closer to Nagoya Hill Mall. There are so many options and price range and I like Harmoni Hotel and Swiss Inn Batam.  Some of the very good pubs are located walkable distance from Harmoni Hotel or Goodway Hotel - like The Last Pub or Chilli Bar. What to do:  Shopping at Nagoya Hill - try ManZone or Matahari... try excellent foo
