Such a good boy!  He had no fuss and was just so well behaved.  Marco told me that he has travelled with them to so many places already in his one year of life because he is such an easy baby to take care of

 What an amazing Safari adventure!!! Barbie Pardo did such a great job transforming Acqua!  Barbie said that the venue itself was already beautiful to begin with so it was just a matter of dressing it up to theme

Each one was given a map at the entrance so we won’t get lost in the jungle 🙂

Moonlight Dinner by the Beach

By | Celebrations, Foodie, Travel | One Comment

We had a wonderful last evening at Aman!  We are all grateful for this wonderful blessing!!  

As we walked out of the villa towards the beach, there was this wonderful set up!

There was a harpist for our background music

Our table

With an almost full moon

 

Here’s another photo with the harpist

More photos! I just could not stop taking to make sure I do not miss documenting this beautiful set up

Sky Lanterns

By | Today's Quote, Travel | No Comments

On our last night at Aman, we all released paper lanterns with our wishes.  We did this by the beach beside our dinner table.  Jigger was the first to release his lantern

We looked at the news the next day and apparently that same night in Ilo Ilo they were releasing lanterns too and they made it to the Guiness Book of World Records with the most number of paper lanterns

Grotto and Garden Cave

By | Nature, Travel | No Comments

The next day I wanted to go back to the path to the Lagoon restaurant since I saw a grotto and a cave.  I was scared to go at night 🙂 Hmmm…looks like someone is setting up for a BBQ

The Grotto

Which has a small chapel

Pathway leading to the grotto 

and to the beach

Then the island cave

Looks like a romantic dinner set up by the Island cave 🙂

It was lighted at night so maybe its nicer at night

Wow how romantic! 🙂

On the way back to the villa we saw this guy trying to catch something

Sea urchin for our dinner!! 🙂

The Lagoon Vietnamese Restaurant Amanpulo

By | Foodie, Travel | No Comments

Jerome treated us to dinner at the vietnamese restaurant nearby the Villa.  Thank you Jerome!!

Though I was hoping we could have Villa meals, I was happy we went to The Lagoon and so we saw Emily and Josh! 🙂

We had a healthy dinner with mostly vegetable dishes and seafood.  I did not monitor anymore as I was too intent on trying to figure out how I could take a photo of Emily and Josh! 🙂
