Travel: Photo review - Orta San Giulio

As promised here comes a short picture-post about my Sunday getaway to Orta San Giulio.
Must say the place looks even better than in pictures! Really, it was a breathtaking experience with all that charming mountain and lake combination in addition to that all there was also a small island  where in Medieval times used to live dragons and snakes but luckily a saint name San Giulio came and saved the place and built a church afterwards (that's at least what legend of San Giulio's life tells us).
and above all the sun was shining and birds were singing so my Wall-Egi Nikon went wild taking pictures ^_^ . see for yourself and PAY A VISIT while in Italy or Milan (just 1h drive away). trust me - definitely worth it! just adorable!

Next adventure - Paradise Falls - Monte Roraima

YES! it really exists! the Paradise Falls from the Movie Up are for real! I received this confirmation this morning and since then, I am soooo thrilled! so it means just one thing! let's start to save up for a new adventure

 to go back to South America, this time Brasil+Venezuela border where you can find the Roraima mountain! and it seems as enchanted and breath taking as in the movie.

So the only thing left to do is to start planning the route, make some maps, save some money and get some premium company to share this adventure with me! :)
I already have some experience in conquering Brazil and it's mountains in Chapada Diamantina.. check it out here :) so this could be like an ultimate challenge!
CAN'T WAIT! really excited!
