Memories of Planet Mars: My Favorite Photo from a Unique Trip
Journeying to the otherworldly landscapes of Planet Mars, I captured a photo that has become my absolute favorite from the trip. The crimson hues and desolate terrains transport me to a realm beyond imagination. It is a reminder of the extraordinary adventures that await those who dare to explore the unknown. Looking at this photo, I feel a sense of wonder and curiosity, as if I have witnessed something truly extraordinary. Join me in reliving the moments of this unforgettable Martian voyage. ☄️📸
Iceland: A Destination Straight Out of Science Fiction 🚀
Known as the land of ice and fire, Iceland is a destination that feels like it's from another planet. The barren moon-like landscapes, the lush green valleys, and the bubbling hot springs make it feel like an out-of-this-world destination. That surreal feeling is intensified by the occurrence of the Northern Lights, adding to the unique and otherworldly feel. From start to finish, your senses will be on high alert as you explore the island's smoky mountain ranges, alluring seascapes dotted with volcanoes and glaciers, and dramatic waterfalls. Come and see for yourself why Iceland is a destination that always feels like an adventure straight out of science fiction. 🌌
Do you know where is this place?
🌈Last trip to Indonesia cured my color vision deficiency. 👀
✨Did you know that the place in the photos above once was an entire slum area in Malang that was on the verge of eviction? A few years ago, a group of Malang students proposed to paint the entire region in a striking pattern in the hopes of attracting tourists to save the place. With the support of air force troops and local artists, this slum neighborhood was reincarnated as Jodipan in June 2016, and has since become Java's most colorful hamlet. 🏠
🎨Every home, alley, and wall in Jodipan is painted a distinct color.

真的非常幸運。出發前一刻才請朋友幫忙完成付費。嚮導說：「今天剛好是本週冰島最好的天氣。」
其實前面從13號開始小感冒，身體狀態不是很好。心情也跟著些許抑鬱。
來回路程我走了五小時。
總長度24公里。
一路聽的歌是
Kate Bush –
Running Up That Hill
「Be running up that road
跑過那條路
Be running up that hill
跑上那座山丘
Be running up that building
跑上那座建築
See if I only could, ooh
如果我可以」
火山口像巨大的窯口，打起的熔岩像是浪花，豔紅的橘噴射起落。
想像過地獄裡的火焰山，或是我在教小五自然時，所謂的「火成岩」形成的樣貌，在腦海及眼前的不思議對比，「Wow～」
（來自世界各地的口音此起彼落）
真的是一生難得的經驗！

Blue Lagoon in Reykjavik, Iceland
A great place to go for your spa in the cold weather winter. There is a locker to store your belongings and there is shampoo, conditioner and shower gel in the shower 🚿 area . Pretty well organized in crowds and in out of the spa area.
Comfort Package comes with a face mud mask and a drink of your choice and a towel for bathing.
Beautiful sunset with a glass of wine in a hot spa...☺️🫠 relaxing.

Iceland🇮🇸
Iceland is renowned for its stunning and diverse landscapes, which have captivated travelers from around the world. Here are some of Iceland's famous landscapes:#iceland
Waterfalls: Iceland is home to numerous majestic waterfalls that display incredible natural beauty. One of the most famous waterfalls is Gullfoss, known as the "Golden Falls." Another remarkable waterfall is Seljalandsfoss, which offers a unique experience as visitors can walk behind the cascading water.
Geysers: Iceland is a geothermal wonderland, and its geysers are a popular attraction. The most famous geyser is Geysir, which is where the term "geyser" originates. Although Geysir itself is less active today, its neighbor, Strokkur, erupts regularly, shooting a powerful jet of water into the air.
Glaciers: Vast icy landscapes dominate parts of Iceland. Vatnajökull, Europe's largest glacier, covers a significant portion of the country. It features mesmerizing ice formations, glacial lagoons, and outlet glaciers like Skaftafellsjökull. Jökulsárlón, a glacial lagoon dotted with icebergs, is particularly famous.
Black Sand Beaches: Iceland's volcanic activity has resulted in striking black sand beaches. Reynisfjara, near the village of Vik, is renowned for its dramatic basalt columns, towering cliffs, and powerful waves crashing against the shore. It is often considered one of the most beautiful non-tropical beaches in the world.
Highlands: The Icelandic Highlands offer a rugged and uninhabited expanse of mountains, volcanic landscapes, and geothermal areas. Landmannalaugar, located in the southern highlands, is famous for its multicolored rhyolite mountains and natural hot springs, making it a popular hiking and camping destination.
Fjords: Iceland's fjords, especially in the Westfjords region, showcase spectacular coastal scenery with steep cliffs, narrow inlets, and peaceful fishing villages. The fjords offer excellent opportunities for boat tours, wildlife sightings, and scenic drives along winding coastal roads.
Lava Fields: Due to its volcanic nature, Iceland features extensive lava fields, some of which remain barren and untouched. The most prominent lava field, Eldhraun, is the result of a historic volcanic eruption. The moss-covered lava fields create an otherworldly and surreal landscape.

Tips to hunt the Aurora
About three days before we left Iceland without getting any Aurora shot, I just learnt how to read the aurora map from vedur.is. All you need to know is:
1. Find the area with partly cloud. Not too heavy cloud or with no clouds at all
2. If you can see the stars at night then there’s higher chances of seeing the aurora
3. If it’s cold outside then it’s higher chances as well
4. Go to area without light pollution e.g. no lamp post, no house lamp, car lamp. Totally dark and you will see it easily with your naked eyes
5. The moon doesn’t affect the aurora but if there’s no moon then the aurora will be much brighter
All the best hunting them! #aurora #awesomepic #Traveltip
Lava Restaurant Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Fine Dining at Lava Restaurant Blue Lagoon
After a day of luxuriating in the nourishing waters of the Blue Lagoon, Lava Restaurant offers a delectable 4 course set dinner to complete the full day of pampering:
🌟 Lobster Bisque: The rich, creamy umami laden broth is infused with fresh tasty lobster 😋
🌟 Cod Tapenade with Tomatoes and Capers: The fresh fatty cod is complemented by a vibrant tapenade bursting with briny capers 😋
🌟 Lamb with Potatoes, Mustard, and Onion: The succulent lamb, cooked to melt-in-your-mouth tenderness with a perfect caramalised crust on top, is paired with hearty potatoes, tangy mustard, and caramelized onions 😋
🌟 White Chocolate and Raspberries with Honey Cake, Rum, and Lemon Curd: Creamy white chocolate blends flawlessly with the tartness of ripe raspberries. The honey cake provides a subtle sweetness, while the hint of rum adds a delightful warmth to the dish 😋
second favourite meal in Iceland.
