Extraordinary View at Armada Hotel


This is the line that separates North Atlantic Sea and West side of Ireland. The view there is captivating and breath-taking. On the right side of this line is the beautiful Armada Hotel. We stayed there for 3 days and 2 nights with my in-laws during their vacation here. We got a pretty good offer through DealRush for €119 for 1 Ocean View Suites (max two persons), 2 nights including breakfast, dinner (3-course meal) for one night and tickets to Cliffs of Moher. The original price is €70 per person sharing with breakfast for 1 night only while a 3-course meal per person will cost about €40- €50. If you'll do the math you will agree with me that we got a great deal.

The Ocean View Suite was so lovely and spacious. A wide double-glazed window will direct you to the awesome view outside where you can see the wild splashing of water of Atlantic Sea. 

Our view from our room
Although it's chilling outside, me and my hubby decided to walk for few minutes. The ocean was roaring loud.  We were stunned by the layers of rock at the seaside. 

Rock formation at the sea side
In Ireland, the seas are labelled blue flag beach if it's clean and fit for human activities like swimming and surfing. This one is a blue flag beach. Even so, I wouldn't dare dipping my feet in the water. Why? It's freezing cold out there even on summer days.

Houses along the coastline
I was looking for the story of this cove but I found nothing. Safe to say that during the Spanish era, it was used as shelter by native people. Otherwise, I stand corrected.

Cove
Armada Hotel is located at Spanish Point Rd, Miltown Malbay, Co. Clare. It is near the most visited sites in Ireland namely  the Cliffs of Moher, the Burren and the Ailwee Caves.

    I love all the views, and the beach is so stunning but as you said it so cold out there, so I will not dare myself as well to have a plunge. I don't like cold.

Colosseum: Gladiators' Battleground

I can't forget the moment I stepped on the ground of this historic Flavian Amphitheatre. I thought I'm hearing the loud voices of spectators around the arena whose watching gladiators fight for their lives.  Colosseum was constructed 70-72AD. It is found at the heart of Piazza del Colosseo (Rome, Italy). The seating capacity of this elliptical amphitheatre is 50,000 spectators. Imagine how big is the place? This place is one of the popular tourist spots in Rome. I suggest that if you plan to go there, book your tickets online. This is to avoid the long queue and the big disappointment of not getting inside.  Colosseum admission fee: Full ticket - €18.00 EU reduced ticket - €13.50 (available only for European citizens aged between 18 and 25)  EU complimentary ticket- €6.00 (available only for EU citizens aged above 65 and under 18) Opening hours: Mid February - mid March: 9 AM - 4.30 PM Mid March - end March: 9 AM - 5.00 PM End March - end August: 9 AM - 7.00 PM

Love and Marriage

Being married for more than thirteen years does not make me an expert to relationship and family. But it is certain that those years made me the better person I am now and I hope that it is the same with my husband. I personally believe that keeping your marriage healthy, sparkling and smooth boils down to open communication and plain understanding. Aside from these two factors, there are other ways to keep you tied up to the man or woman you say "I Do". According to  Merriam- Webster  Dictionary, "Marriage is  the state of being united to a person of the opposite sex as husband or wife in a consensual and contractual relationship recognized by law". But it is actually more than that. Time, effort, love, affection, acceptance, faithfulness and sincerity goes with marriage. If you are just starting a wonderful married life and you want to keep it till you are both old, you may want to consider the following ways to keep your happy lives together. Put Jesus Christ in

House as Clean as a Hound's Tooth

Modern cleaning products contain harmful ingredients. Anyone in contact with these products can be affected rendering health problems like irritations, allergies or even respiratory illnesses. It cannot be denied that  household cleaners  available in the market will give us outstanding results. But, are they truly safe for us to use? Be extra careful in choosing cleaning goods.
