      Foggy Lagos de Covadonga

      20. juni 2022, Spanien ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C

      Today we were supposed to see one of the highlights of the Asturian natural landscape: the Lagos de Covadonga. If a few days ago we were melting, today was quite the opposite: 11°C at the lakes with rain and fog. We were not really prepared for that so we covered ourselves in what we had and tried to survive even with sandals. It was a total disappointment to be up there where there usually are breathtaking views with lakes, green mountains and cows, and see no further than a few meters in front. We still did a hike and got some proper food and shelter - even the bus driver got us in even though he had already departed from the top! So some positive elements remained!Læs mere

      Running from the rain

      19. juni 2022, Spanien ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C

      I still wonder how come we need to go with jackets provided that a couple of days ago we could not walk due to the heat. Anyway, let’s start from the beginning…
      The sun was kind to greet our Casa Pichi this morning to help us dry our laundry from two days ago, but we knew that todays forecast was grim. We had a slow morning packing and tidying up. Once we checked out, the house owner invited us to her home, introducing to her two cute dogs and hen gang (it is thanks to their eggs we got a nice welcome treat in a shape of a yoghurt sponge cake). Very kind! She was also kind to warn us about Sunday peaks in some restaurants and gave us some good tips on where (and where not) to eat some traditional food. So we called to make a reservation and hit the road towards the restaurant. After a good 4 course menú del día and some playground time, we were more than ready to start the day. On the map there were two stunning nature places: Acantilados del infierno and Bufones de Pria. We were ready but also a bit hesitant especially when we saw a thick could hanging above us and some rain was about to discourage us. But as we did buy some umbrellas and we were ready to use them in case!
      Both places were gems of wilderness and both us and the kids loved the strong wind, watching the splashing waves and finally racing with them in the Playa de Guadamia. And who would guess, we never got the rain!!
      We finished the day in Cangas de Onís at an apartment with a swimming pool in the yard and although it was past 7pm, probably not more than 20 degrees and cloudy, our kids were determined to have a swim. So they did in David’s company, to end the day with a water blast 💥      Læs mere

      Ruta del Alba

      18. juni 2022, Spanien ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C

      As Asturias has a lot of beautiful nature, we wanted to experience that - and our first hike attempt was the Ruta del Alba. Despite being over easy conditions (flat and along a concrete road) it took us very long to go some part of it, but no complaints about it! Kids were very well behaved, mostly walking by themselves or Alisa at times in the hiking backpack, and enjoying many experiences along the way. The start of the trail was at Soto de Agues where a myriad of cats lived for enthusiasm of our kids. Then we bought some walking sticks for all the family from a man who was giving that money to Doctors Without Borders, luckily because that kept them entertained. Then there were many butterflies and insects and eventually, the river. That was refreshing! And we continued until we could find a picnic table to have our well-deserved lunch! The way back was faster, either because Alisa was half asleep in the backpack or because the storm was threatening to appear at any moment. Luckily we were home before any major drop got us.Læs mere

      Mining museum

      17. juni 2022, Spanien ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C

      Finally we arrived to Asturias! The day promised again lots of heat, so we lowered our ambition - just the visit to the mining museum at El Entrego. This was quite an authentic experience thanks to the guided tour to the underground galleries with large temperature and humidity differences and a drive in a mining train. Later we went to our new home, the charming Casa Pichi in a village called El Pulliu, a place with a bathtub 🛀! Despite having no air conditioning (there is usually no need for that in Asturias) the ground floor felt pretty cool!Læs mere

      Segovia and Real Sitio de San Ildefonso

      16. juni 2022, Spanien ⋅ ⛅ 32 °C

      The day was packed of ambitions and extreme heat - not a good combination. David and Elijas went to rent the car and the initial idea was to get 2nd hand car seats. But it was a holiday, Corpus Christi, in Madrid. So we had to buy new seats from a shopping mall, luckily rather cheap. After that we could all start the road trip under 39°C of heat. We headed towards Segovia to see the impressive Roman aqueduct. However, there was very little excitement because the heat was so intense. The next stop, the Royal Palace of San Ildefonso, inspired by Versailles tradition and with huge gardens. We crawled ourselves there, but the extensive shades helped us survive. We continued our trip north to find our hotel and rest comfortably - and Elijas could enjoy some dives in the bathtub!Læs mere

      Goodbye Greece, hello Spain

      15. juni 2022, Spanien ⋅ ⛅ 33 °C

      Thanks to the landlord of the Syntagma contemporary apartment, we could postpone our checkout time and could have a more relaxed day.
      We spent the morning packing and then went for lunch around the corner. After that, we took our luggages and started our trip. We decided to go to the airport by metro, but it took us nearly 1 hour to get moving. First, queuing to find out that kids do not need a ticket, then going down to the wrong elevator, looking for the right elevator.. in the park end, all went smoothly, we did not have to queue anywhere in the Athens International airport and could smoothly board the AirEuropa plane Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, the most modern we have ever flown with. Although the flight was supposed to be nearly 4 hours, the time went really fast as kids (and their parents) were busy with the entertainment system! Also the flight arrived ahead of schedule, an extra bonus. The only disappointment was that there was nearly no food available on the plane. Luckily, we had got a couple of sandwiches at the airport. Yet nothing Elijas-safe, so the dinner for Elijas was crackers, Spanish ham and sausage snacks 💪

      We landed in Madrid at around 22.00 and it was 34 degrees Celsius. We quickly got our shuttle to hotel where, after a couple of hours of fun, we managed to force the kids to go to bed. We slept quite well thanks to the air conditioning on all night long!      Læs mere

      Not an ordinary day in Athens

      14. juni 2022, Grækenland ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C

      After the intense sightseeing, we decided to take it easy. Still, we had a few items on our list: the national gardens (including the playground) and to see some of the remaining temples to use our combined ticket. However, the heat got us and it was very difficult to make kids walk, even if the ‘carrot’ was the playground. So we were stopping to rest under shade every 20-30 meters.
      Once we finally reached the playground, Neringa realised that she was no longer having her phone with her. So suddenly instead of enjoying the playground we started looking for the phone in the park. Neringa could remember placing it on one of the benches of the park but when David ran back to check, it was no longer there. Then Neringa and Elijas took their turn to look for it, in case it fell from the pocket… we looked until the scream of David on the other side of the park. We managed to find each other to learn that someone responded the call and is waiting hand over the phone. Happy end!
      We then ate at an Indian restaurant ‘Indian Havel li’ to conclude that our local resto in Østerbro offers much better food. But it came in handy as Alisa fell asleep and could rest in an air conditioned space while we were eating.
      Following the lunch we have reconsidered o it plan and reduced it to finding an ice cream place, which would offer fresh ice cream without traces of nuts. After some persistent search we found a ‘Chillbox’ frozen yoghurt place which offered soft-ice-like yoghurt without any traces of nuts. Supposedly. After enjoying the portion Elijas started scratching his ears and head and soon after Neringa discovered that he was having an allergic reaction. Luckily, we managed to get some medicine from a nearby pharmacy which stopped inflation of his eye and eventually calmed the itchiness which had spread all over the body. Neringa carried Elijas home as he had no forces to walk and then followed a series of calls to family, friend doctors, another pharmacy visit as Elijas had some cough attacks and really scared his parents. Luckily, the medication worked and we did not need to use the needle … All good what ends well!      Læs mere

      Athens sightseeing

      13. juni 2022, Grækenland ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C

      Without much clue of what to see where in Athens, we went on a GPS walking tour guided by Elijas with intense motivation. We saw the soldiers' performance at the monument to the fallen soldier and then went to the historic center. We got too much food before starting the visits to the sites but then we did that. We started by the Ancient Agora and because of the heat, we soon ran out of water - we first got an extra bottle using our last coins and then got some dubious drinking water from some service tap in the gardens. But it kept us on our feet on the search of the Acropolis. That was really a stunning site - really impressive and also the views to the rest of the city. The kids were very well behaved and Elijas managed to make many many steps.Læs mere

      From Delphi to Athens

      12. juni 2022, Grækenland ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C

      In this transition day, we visited the ruins of the Athena temple in Delphi, while the kids were mostly concerned by the humongous amount of insects getting too close. The next stop was a waterfall in a small town called Petra, not much advertised in tourist guides, but which is an oasis of peace to have picnic or BBQ for locals. The last bit of the trip was the arrival to Athens, where we returned the car as soon as possible to avoid the nightmare of city driving and parking. The apartment was cozy and very well located in the center close to the main shopping street, tourist sites and different restaurants. Bit probably what we enjoyed the most was watching the Monsters Inc movie all together before going to sleep.Læs mere

      Delphi and its archeological site

      11. juni 2022, Grækenland ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C

      We were walking to the Delphi Archeological museum when the rain came. It was not too bad, because it meant a fresh weather. The lucky part is that we could start with the visit to the Archaeological museum to see some of the sculptures and artifacts from the site. Especially impressive was the one of the Sphinx, but also the golden jewellery captured Elijas' attention. We continued into the ruins and found quite amazing the amount of places up the hill, including temples, a theater and a stadium, where important ancient games were celebrated - second after Olympia. It could have been the sports theme background that inspired the kids to practice some Kung Fu. After lunch we decided to do a local hike uphill from Delphi but had to stop before not too long because of the intense rain.Læs mere
