Travel: Things you must try, see and do in your first trip to Paris

Paris mon amour... I fell in love with Paris long before I went there for my first time many,many years ago and I never get tired coming back there as every time is something new to discover, see, try and feel.

It's enchanting by night and full of surprises by day and definitely it is not only the city only for lovers, romance and haute cuture with an expensive shopping but also city with art, culture and adventures and you will never get bored there - trust me! 

couple of weeks ago I organized a Paris getaway for my bf birthday. as he had never been there than tried to make as compact list of "must do, see and try things" list for him to make to make best out of this trip.

and as I already had done all this than decided that maybe someone else could take an advantage and spare some hours googling things to see and do while there.

as for me Montrematre is the "real Paris" where you can have not only typical croissant or pain au chocolat  and coffee for breakfast in a small street- side caffee but also have some pretty fun nightlife this is why i strategically chose staying near the Central Station (Gare du Est) so can stroll for breakfast there and have a real Parisian start of the day.

Travel: Heading south - Amalfi coast - PART I

 As someone might know - I have a thing for poppies. I just can't resist - love them. so here is some lovely poppy field I saw near my friends place.

Ola`,

greetings from the nicest and cheapest hotel ever :) we are in this small valley called - Diamantina (click here) and part of Brazil' s Lost World. Diamantina was a center of diamond mining in the 18th and 19th centuries. (so today we are going for DIAMOND searching and washing if the weather will allow, as it is raining cats and dogs time to time). o today - Biribiri time :)

and here comes the pictures from last days :) ENJOY :)

Brazil - Day 2 /3

again woke up at 6:30 am, as you just can' t sleep longer - the sun is up and shining and even the sleeping mask is not saving you from the daylight.
the sun rises here around 4am, so seems that the day is already in half, as it is getting dark at 5pm, already :O so the early birds are enjoying the day longer :)

yesterday we went to a small paradise called - Bora Bora (a name for the beach), but the place name was Praia de Carneiros (which means Beach of Lambs), really, it was sooo beautiful! (Google it!)your eyes are just hurting of how adorable it is. :) it is like an organized beach with nice paths to the beach, coconut trees, colorful, tropical bird figurines crafted in wood, hammocks, where you can lay down and have a nap, live music, where elderly ladies were dancing a traditional dances in their bikinis and swimsuits, restaurants with a nice staff and a beautiful coral rife, which you could see when the tide was up.
at the beach was also a nice church, where supposed to be wedding at afternoon, so it was really lovely organized - with beautiful flowers, violinist and loads of photographers.
some man of the wedding came to speak to us, and he though that I am from south of Brazil that' s why he was speaking to me in Portuguese :) so he told us that actually the new couple won a contest and their wedding will be in national television.
on the way to this beach we saw a lot of sugar cane plantations, like as far as you can see, as this part of the brazil they only have them, not in south.
and they have black rocks :O
and in gas stations you cannot put yourself a gasoline because it must be done by employees of gas stations. it is a way country is providing workplaces to their people.
A really interesting contrast was on the streets between the cars: new, big, small and than you see a small vans (like in Scooby-doo cartoon) everywhere and than somebody pass by you in a traffic jam with a....HORSE :O or with an ore and horse :)

in the evening we went to the Porto de Galinhas (hen city), so there were everywhere different kind of monuments and  figurines of hens and chickens dressed up funny and colorful and colored funky, artistic and nice :) really lovely city with a beautiful beach :)

now, day 3 - going to Olinda a historical city and also in Unesco heritage.
we have already a LOAD of pictures, but they will come..one day :)

big smiles :) off to beach :)

1st Business trip

Yesss!! that's right! i am having my 1st business trip: Milan-Warsaw-Tallinn-Riga-Milan. 4days-3 countries.
so far, i am in Tallinn. just checked-in in a lovely hotel in old town. the interior, I must say, i just charming- gold flower motive on white and black backgrounds. nice nice. (there will be pictures too) ;)

Poland was really nice and actually surprised me in a very good way. (for example they have a ..wait for it... CHINA town, region, buyers market where there is thousadns of distributors and retailers and loads of them don't even speak Polish! ;o
however, the distributer i was meeting was really nice guy and in the end he even presented me a Vietnameese coffee. ;) how nice is that?
and the hotel I was staying was just, lovely. 4stars and a great attitude. apart from that that i was the youngest one in whole hotel. :D and my colleagues was always addressing my taxis under name Helo Kitty, so i really felt a little bit like a celeb! LOL! no real names, doesnt speak the language, staying alone in 4star hotel - travelling incognito! :D

anyway i start talking nonsense, so it's time for bed and get rest for my meetings tomorrow.

nity'-nite;)

Vernazza

In few minutes I'm going to canoeing! Never tried before,but how hard can it be,huh?:D
(and than my next post is as following:gosh,it's hard!or. Omg i'm dying:D )well hope not!i think it will be fun!..even tho i swim like an axe...:D

Stockholm - Day III

..in case you are wondering where did day II go - it will be after day III as I am tired and tomorrow I am leaving.

Today was a perfect summer day-sunny,a light wind breezes time to time and temperature around 26C.:)
Today I went to Vasa museum - the ship wreck was spectatular,pity that it sailed only 10metres before sinking.t
A cool,interactive atraction there was - to build by your parametres Vasa ship in a computer program and test if it would sink too - fun.my ship survived even storm,but was too slow. (slow and steady wins the race? :p )
Aftr Vasa was atraction park - Gruden lunde or something like that.sooo cool,but seemed that whole sweden wad there today. O.o lines everywhere!
Amazing how much Swedish people love sweets -u can win mega packs with them everywhere:)mmmm

Than sightseeing and relaxing on the bench at the port and than Nordic light hotel with it's Ice Bar.that's something amazing!i think one of the top 10 things to see in Stockholm.really cool and cool:D -5C so wearing sandals and to go there was not the best idea:) they serve u only vodka cocktails,but pretty good o.es,even tho' felt like the bartender tried to make me drunk by the amount of vodka in my glass:D

Ok,now bed time and tomorrow Riga time.q
