London (20/12/2014)



So to celebrate our 1 year anniversary my boyfriend came with a surprise. A weekend away to London, England. But he accidentally slipped it away so it wasn't a surprise anymore. But to make it up he came with another surprise. He invited my cousins from Manchester to celebrate with us. I was really surprised to see them at the hotel lobby.

We spend a day together in London, we went to some places for old memories and of course we went to Camden Market afterwards. We went to some stores, bought some stuff. And we went to the pub for a bit. and when it was getting late we went to an Japanese restaurant, specializes in ramen and bento boxes. Soon we retreated back to the hotel and my cousins left.

The next day we went by the London eye and then we went to the winter market before we headed to the airport. The winter market is really nice, atmosphere. Unfortunately that we were tired and had our luggage's with us, if not it would have been more fun.

Venice, Italy 2015


Ok so I know that still have like 4 post to write, but I want to write this one first. Its actually travel post I am writing I think.

I went to Venice for a week, from May 7th till May 14th. My plane to Venice was quite late, so when we arrived we just took the taxi to our resting place, Camping Village Jolly. I am not going into details regarding the camping much as I have a very negative review about it.

Lets go and talk about the trip itself. First day was pretty much figuring out what to do and just looking around. Having a small walk around to see what there are to see. We quickly decided that we will split it in parts to see on different days.

The next day we went to a different part, walked around saw a lot, ate a lot which could not be left out of course. Everyday we did the same thing, went on the waterbus which was a lot of fun. I didn't ride the Gandol because I have read online that its very expensive. So we decided to skip that. We also came across a mask shop that was hand made by the owner. I got a little souvenir for myself as I really wanted a mask. Instead of getting a big mask I got a small one made out of clay since its easier to fit in the suitcase.

Days goes by, and saw many things. On the day of my boyfriend's birthday we went to visit the little islands Murano, Burano, Torchello. It was very interesting to see that ever island has their own speciality. Soon the dawn approached us and we went for dinner. Food is delicious like always. And soon after we saw Venice at night.

Soon are trip was coming to an end. We have seen a lot, eaten a lot and enjoyd a lot.

Here are some pictures I have taken, please do not take them without permission as I have taken them all by myself!

Prague (18/08/2014 - 20/08/2014)


So Back in June 2014 I heard that I won a trip for 2 people for a weekend to Prague, Czech Replublc. I was very happy with it. It would be the first trip with my boyfriend. I got extremely excited and without doubt I made sure too make the choices regarding the trip. Afterwards it was waiting, waiting till the day.

On 17 August 2014 at night we went to the meeting point to get on to the bus. It took less that half an hour before we left. When we left it was night, so all I did was sleeping actually. When I woke up it was morning already but we weren't in Prague yet. I was like another 5 hours ride with the bus. The total bus ride was about 11 hours or so. We were getting an hour break every 2 a 3 hours of bus ride, so that people could go to toilets and have a cigarette.

When we arrived in Prague we first went to a 3* hotel where the basic instructions were given, afterwards some people (including me and my bf) went to the 4* hotel. As the first day we got to do what we want, so we went to a nearby shopping mall with some other people who travelled together with the bus with us. We didn't do much at the shopping mall, just have a quick look around and getting some money.

Afterwards we went back to the hotel and soon enough it was day 2.

The second day we decided to go with the tour bus to see the historical parts of Prague. We saw some interesting buildings and heard some interesting history facts. As we got through the old city part. At night we went to a restaurant, honestly the food there wasn't nice at all. It was cold and dry. I forgot the name of the restaurant, so I won't be able to tell you guys.

On our third and last day, we met up with a friend of my bf that lives in Prague. We went to the lookout tower. Also known as the copy of Eiffel tower. It almost took us 3 hours to get there because we decided to walk there. Also I was pretty much worn out already so it took me much longer to walk. But at the end we got there and got on top of the tower and we took some photo's. The view from up there is so pretty. A huge recommendation to everyone to go there.

It was a lovely 3 days that I had in Prague, Would love to go again in the future.
