Paddling down the river and Dad's feast
13 luglio 2017, Francia ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C
We ate croissants for breakfast before heading to the kayaks. We were driven a short way up the river where we set off. It started to rain while we headed down so we stopped halfway for a coffee and to warm up. The sun finally came out and we headed off, occasionally we paddled, looked at chateaus from the river and made our way to our town. Lunch was French goodies, followed by an afternoon by the pool. Dane and I had an epic hit of pool tennis, followed by Aperol Spritz.
Muriel cooked dinner for us tonight, gazpacho soup, followed by duck with roast potatoes and a slaw salad. There was a very impressive display of hot air balloons floating past which looked incredibly scenic. Dessert was cheese and an impressive raspberry cake with "60th" birthday candles. We had a bit of a dance before watching the world go by on the balcony.Leggi altro

Friday in the Chateau
14 luglio 2017, Francia ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C
We were up early to say goodbye to Nick and Greg with some croissants for breakfast. Dane, Grace and I walked down to see some sunflowers. We looked at the little market in town before heading back for some pool time.
We had a lunch feast of copious amounts of cheese and salami with sparkling wine. Mum and I wandered through the town checking out shops before heading to the pool to escape the heat! We had Aperol Spritz and champagne by the pool before having dinner on the balcony. Sadly it's time to pack up and leave this magical place that we've called home.Leggi altro

Heading to Paros, Greece
15 luglio 2017, Grecia ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C
We were up early and left by seven to drive to Bordeaux airport. We flew to Athens and then on to Paros . A mini bus picked us up and drove us to our villa in Naousa. It was quite a culture shock to arrive in the somewhat dry landscape after coming from lush southern France. Our villa was lovely and had a pool, multiple rooms all with bathrooms and a big outdoor space for eating. We headed down to the waterfront and found a restaurant. Dinner was delicious seafood with Greek wine. The sun set over the mountain nearby which was lovely! We had drinks at bar in a lane way.Leggi altro

Diving in Greece!
16 luglio 2017, Grecia ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
No croissants for breakfast anymore, back to fruit and muesli. It was nice and hot so after a relaxing morning we headed to the bus station. We went to Santa Maria and met Jake and Ali to go diving. The water was warm and a bright light blue colour. There wasn't much to see underwater other than some crockery, a few small fish and some reeds. I think all the fish have been eaten! I got to test out my new underwater camera which worked really well. We lazed on the beach and drank Mythos beers before heading back. Dinner was pork with Greek salad and eggplant cooked by Ali and Jake. It certainly was a feast!!Leggi altro

Flamingo happiness
17 luglio 2017, Grecia ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C
We went for a short walk and got coffee at the bakery. We caught the ferry this morning over to the national park. The landscape was dramatic with lots of cliffs. We had the slowest lunch ever with a wait of over two hours for basic food. It was all worth it though when upon arriving at a beach, Jake and Ali found a blow up flamingo that had been left behind by people on a big yacht. We named it Zeus and took it home with us. Tonight's dinner was at a traditional Greek restaurant by the port. The octopus and seafood salad were yummy! Somehow we fitted in an ice cream.Leggi altro

Lazy day in Greece
18 luglio 2017, Grecia ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C
The wind today was extreme! We walked down the road to the local winery for some tastings and a cheese platter. We were surprised that the wines were OK! Lunch was our favourite - gyros!! We spent the afternoon lounging by the pool and I finished my book, Big Little Lies whilst enjoying Aperol Spritz. Jake and Ali cooked up another dinner feast followed by Ouzo.Leggi altro

Car trip around Paros
19 luglio 2017, Grecia ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C
We hired a mini bus today to explore the island. Grace had organised for us to meet up with Ellie McDonald, Georgie and Wendy Dodd in the mountain village Lefke They were running super late so we had coffee and cake outside a big old church, before they arrived for a quick chat. We drove past a number of beaches and had lunch at the seaside town Aliki. Swordfish, cheese donuts and squid were the highlights. We stopped at a protected beach for a swim as the day was super windy. We stopped at a beach bar where i had a pina colada and the others had a swim. We drove to the Port town Parkia to see the sunset. We noticed Georgie, Wendy and Ellie walking past so they joined us for drinks and St Mary's and Jamieson reminiscing! It was after 11:30pm by the time we ate gyros for dinner!Leggi altro

Antiparos day trip
20 luglio 2017, Grecia ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C
We headed off early to go to AntiParos, three buses and a ferry. We saw the caves on top of the hill, which were impressive, but not as wondrous as the Slovenian caves. We had pork gyros and beers for lunch and then tried to find a beach out of the wind. Had a lovely swim before the long trek back, two buses and a ferry. Back home we enjoyed Aperol and a big feast for dinner.Leggi altro

Friday in Paros
21 luglio 2017, Grecia ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
Dad and I went on a scooter ride to Kolibithres beach which had a tiny bit of protection from the wind. We stayed awhile and caught the ferry back to Naousa. Lunch was gyros and saganaki, the best! The afternoon was spent lazing around the pool, drinking Aperol Spritz and reading my book. We went out for dinner at a popular restaurant in town by the water. The food was amazing!! Mussels, saganaki cheese, sesame toasted feta with a honey glaze and a whole fish were highlights! This was our last family dinner before we all head our seperate ways.Leggi altro

22 luglio 2017, Italia ⋅ ☀️ 31 °C
We were up early, packed and headed to the port in Parika. We had a freddo cappuccino and said goodbye to Jake and Ali. The rest of us caught a very bumpy ferry to Mykonos where we said goodbye to mum and dad. Grace, Dane and I caught another ferry to the main town and ate a very expensive gyros for lunch. The wind was almost gale force so quite unpleasant. We struggled to get a cab to the airport. We flew to Rome and caught a cab to Travestere where we meet Belinda at the AirBnB. We ate a dinner at a very popular authentic Italian restaurant. The pizzas were delicious and we watched a religious parade along the street near us. We had gelato for dessert, delicious!!Leggi altro

Colosseum and looking around Rome
23 luglio 2017, Italia ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C
We ate breakfast and drank takeaway coffees before heading to the Colosseum. The queues were epic so we joined a tour which skipped the queue and we were guided around by an archeologist. We heard amazing stories and tales of what happened there long ago. Inspiring that something of its magnitude was built and designed in its day. It was incredibly hot while looking around. We grabbed lunch at a supermarket before joining a tour to look around the Roman Forum. We heard stories of the Roman Empire in its day and walked around the many ruins. Very hot and dusty! We walked to the Parthenon and onto the Trevi Fountain. The guards were a bit insane, blowing their whistles at anyone getting too close to the water. We enjoyed an Aperol Spritz before looking at Piazza Navona. We ate dinner at a little Italian restaurant, pasta of the area - cheese, pepper and a sweet bacon. We stopped at a bar and we enjoyed the balmy night as we walked back home along side the river.Leggi altro

24 luglio 2017, Città del Vaticano ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C
We ate breakfast then headed out for coffee. Grace, Dane and I walked to the St Peters Basilica at the Vatican. After queuing we entered and looked around. The building is so incredible and full of intricate details, mosaics, sculptures and tombs. We walked up the stairs to the top of the dome where the views of Rome were pretty specky! There was a cafe on the roof top where we grabbed a bite to eat before heading to the Vatican Museum. The crowds inside were insane and made it not very enjoyable. We felt like sardines as we made our way through the many halls to the Sistine chapel. After we enjoyed a gelato and found a drinks spot next to the river. At Bir and Fud we ate a trio of arancini balls. We met Belinda at Da Augusto in Travestere for dinner, authentic Italian pasta, rabbit and tiramisu. We returned back to Bir and Fud for more beers, Dane liked it there!Leggi altro

We were up early and headed to the train station to met Annie. We traveled by train from Rome to La Spezia passing scenic views of the ocean along the way.
We checked into our AirBnB which was right near the train station and then found a pizza restaurant for lunch. We walked down to the waterfront area and had Aperol Spritz. We watched the beautiful sunset over the water. We had fun doing a few boomerang videos with Dane as our photographer. We ate dinner at an Italian restaurant, seafood pasta with locally caught mussels and a litre of local wine.Leggi altro

Cinque Terre
26 luglio 2017, Italia ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
This morning we headed to the fresh food market and bought some fruit for the day. Our breakfast was focaccias and coffee. We caught a train to visit the towns along the Cinque Terre. We got off at Monterosso and headed towards the walking track. It was steep, had beautiful views and a person selling freshly juiced oranges along the way. There were vineyards, an accordion player and many vistas. We stopped at Vernazza where we jumped off the rocks into the water for a swim and we ate gelato. We continued walking along the trail to Corniglia where we stopped for another gelato. The path was closed for the remainder of the way so we caught the train to Manarola. We jumped off the pier and had drinks in the sun by the water. We caught the train to Riomaggiore and had beers on the rocks while watching the sunset. I unfortunately lost my round glasses between the cracks in the rocks. Dinner was seafood risotto and then a quick dash to catch the train back to La Spezia.Leggi altro

27 luglio 2017, Italia ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C
We caught an early train to Monterosso and organised beach chairs and umbrellas for the day. We had coffee, went for many swims, lounged around, read, looked at beautiful pebbles, ate pizza, drunk cocktails and relished the sun's warmth. It was wonderful to be still for a day and enjoy the beautiful beach. We could see the five towns lining the steep coastline. The sun set earlier over the mountain so we headed for an early dinner in town and had a traditional style flat oval shaped pasta with anchovies, fennel and breadcrumbs which was quite delicious!Leggi altro

28 luglio 2017, Francia ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C
Up early to catch the train from La Spezia to Nice via Genoa. We arrived, checked in at our hostel and met Erica for lunch. I had a yummy Niçoise salad washed down with some rose. We walked down the main street, had a Nespresso and found a water play area. It was packed with kids all loving the water jets. We all tested it out too! There was a drinking fountain with refillable cold sparkling water, which was so delicious that we found our way back there multiple times. We walked along the promenade and found a spot on the pebbled beach. Dane and I had a swim, the water was warm but getting out was particularly painful. We walked and found an interesting wooden playground with lots of giant timber sea creatures. In the old town we enjoyed a cocktail and free tapas. We walked through the streets up to the castle where there were beautiful views over the city. We watched the sunset, looked around the port area and had an icecream in the market precinct.Leggi altro

Breakfast was french pastries and coffee. We walked along the main street stopping for Nespresso, more sparkling water and along to the flower market. We had another look at the promenade and beach before finding ourselves a mussels and fritz lunch with rose. It was delicious! We then caught an uber to the airport and flew to Barcelona. Our AirBnB was in the gothic area and it was quite small, with very low roof and hot and dark. We bought some drinks and chips before Dane and I headed out for tapas. We had delicious eggplant with honey, tuna belly salad and calamari roll with squid ink sauce. We checked out the Mint bar and walked around the streets of Barcelona.Leggi altro

30 luglio 2017, Spagna ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C
We ate breakfast and headed out for coffee. We hired bikes and rode along the foreshore which was buzzing with people. Saw some skate parks and playgrounds, then rode to the Parc de Diagonal Mar to check out the slides which were not very slippery, so no good at all. Actually the park was a failure as there was no one there and had lots of steps so we couldn't ride through. We had drinks on the beach and rode to a pub for more drinks. For dinner we ate at another tapas bar which was expensive and unimpressive!Leggi altro

We ate breakfast at home, rode our bikes to the market and found delicious falafel wraps for lunch. We then rode looking at some of Gaudi's houses. We stopped at Casa Batllo and had an audio tour through the house. It was very organic, flowing, used animal and nature inspiration throughout it. Very inspiring. We rode past La Pedrera and up to Parc Guell via a very steep hill. Luckily we had pre booked tickets so got in to see the mosaic dragon. It was only two metres long, so very small compared to my one at Ruffey. The park was beautiful and inspiring through the use of mosaics, colourful seats and columns. We rode home, had drinks and went out for tapas. Fun day in BarcelonaLeggi altro

We rode to Parc de la Ciutadella to see the fountain and Arc de Triumph. We had a look at the greenhouse with tropical plants. We rode along to Parc de Montjuic to see the cactus garden. Up the hill was a beautiful view of Barcelona. We went to see the exhibit on Joan Miro and his work over his life. He had various different styles of work and materials that he used. We then rode to Sagrada Familia. We went inside, the flowers and forms were beautiful. Stained glass windows spread rainbow colours on the roof and the Jesus on the cross was hanging from what looked like an umbrella. The outside renovation was slowly progressing as well. We rode home, had some drinks and went out for paella for dinner.Leggi altro

2 agosto 2017, Spagna ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C
We ate breakfast, had coffee and packed our things before heading to Palau Guell. We went for an audio tour around the palace which was gothic style and grand. It was Gaudi's first house commission and this started him testing different types of materials and combining styles. He paid great attention to the detail of the roofs. We had a long lunch, checked out of our AirBnB and headed to the airport. We flew to Lisbon. We arrived late and traveled to our AirBnB.Leggi altro

Day trip to Sintra
3 agosto 2017, Portogallo ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
Dane and I went for a morning run along the waterfront. My first run in a long time and it felt good, but my foot still hurt. We had breakfast and caught the train out to Sintra. There was a little market set up as we walked into town. We had a cherry liquor in a chocolate cup and started the hike up to the Castello dos Mouros. It was fun to walk around the walls with views out to the other Palaces in the town. We then hiked up to Pena Palace which was the best example of the Romanticism style of Architecture. There was a strong use of primary colours, comical statues and ceramic tiles used throughout and the roofs had a lot of detail. We walked through the gardens of the palace before heading back to Lisbon. We ate dinner at a trendy new venue which offered multiple different cuisines. My meal of macadamia crusted salmon with quinoa, watercress and citrus was delicious.Leggi altro

4 agosto 2017, Portogallo ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C
We went to Belem tower and lined up for what felt like an eternity. There was a very odd queuing system. It was interesting to see but having visited the castles in Sintra already, it was a bit of a let down. We made our way to the new MAAT building which was quite stunning. The display inside was titled Utopoia - Distopia, with ideas of urban cities and their planning. We then said goodbye to Belinda who headed off to Berlin. Dane and I checked out the Time Out market where we taste tested the Portuguese tarts and croquettes. We saw the funicular tram, sampled green wine with a view of the castle, walked to the castle and then back down to the waterfront. We ate dinner at the Time Out market where some of Portugal's top chefs have stalls. The food was excellent and we enjoyed seared tuna and an ox burger. We followed this with ice cream! There was a DJ and bar set up in the park next door to the market where there was lots of happy people dancing and swaying to the music!Leggi altro

5 agosto 2017, Portogallo ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C
Dane and I went for a run before we packed up and caught a train to Porto. We arrived and checked into our hostel in a beautiful building and it had modern bunk beds. We ate delicious tapas and drank a green 'Verde' wine which tasted a bit like Sauvignon Blanc. We walked through town, looked at the big bridge, passed dancers moving to the tune of 'Shape of You' and up to the sunset strip. The views of Porto were stunning! We drank wine watching the sun go down. We headed in town and enjoyed a delicious Venezuelan meal. We checked out some of the bars where there was lots of dancing! We stayed out quite late drinking cocktails!Leggi altro

Beach day in Porto
6 agosto 2017, Portogallo ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
Breakfast at the hostel was surprisingly good! After skyping mum and dad we caught an uber to Serralves Villa where it was free entry on Sunday mornings...win! We quickly made our way to the Art Deco mansion and walked around the gardens. There were lots of sculptures to look at and movies playing in little display houses. We ate lunch in the tea house before catching an uber to Matosinhos. We walked along the foreshore path and lay on the sand for awhile. It wasn't very warm as there was a cool wind, so we headed to the street with plenty of fish cafes. The smell of fish cooking over the coals was absolutely delicious. We had what we think was the best salmon we've ever eaten!! Or maybe it was just really salty and crispy 🤤Leggi altro
