Easter in Greece'14

Going for a snack with my sister after the dentist. chocolate cake for me...I learn nothing...

But hey! It's Easter, and ain't nobody got time to listen to dentists.

My egg this year is made with caramelized peanuts. What more can I ask?

In Greece, the tradition is to paint boiled eggs and on Easter we play a game in which you push your egg with you opponent's egg and the one that cracks loses. 

A little salad interruption...

This year we decided to get out of Athens for once, and go visit a village in the middle of nowhere, Dimitsana.

Reason? We apparently had a great grandmother living here.

The little hotel is cozy and the owners are very welcoming

And then we found this cat that looks straight out of some video game (that tail, is so perfect!)

White skin, red hair me

Name of the place we stayed ''En Dimitsani''

Fancy chairs, beautiful view.

A FIREPLACE omg luxury much!

Royal bed to say the least

bathroom. so cute 

Time to visit things around here.

Proud Greek takes picture of Greek flag.

Zombie hideaway? No, it is a monastery! Walking some kilometres into the mountain and you find this carved in monastery.

Cats where climbing all around.

This is too epic.

Another monastery there.

And then. the Oasis

The clearest waters are always the coldest. Your feet turn red from the cold water here.

Beautiful

Typical greek yoghurt with ''Kidoni''

At night, there was the village party, which we attended.

There was a center fire and people would dance around it <3

Check me out in the middle (and on the right the owner of the little hotel haha)

Road trip continues...

To some other lost village with advanced technology.

Best tomato salad you can have

Got this beautiful Adventure time Wallet from my godmother <3

I'm starting to miss Greece already...

Paris 2014

My teacher one day decided to join some classes that studied french in my school, 

and go casually visit Paris for a weekend.

I'm going to start off by showing you Day1 lunch:

Carrots, rice, veggies and nuggets.

I basically ate all the vegetables, tried the nuggets and did not touch the rice.

This is what you can eat in a youth hostel.

The next lunches were better, as we went to cafes and restaurants.

Also, we survived on chips and coffee the rest of the time.

Our big group, well (or not so well) fed, visited the Notre Dame cathedral. This is the back view.

Front door

Front again

Full view of the Notre Dame cathedral.

Next, we went to see the Eiffel Tower:

It's there!

The weather was not great, so the pictures tend to look .. not so pretty.

I love the details.

Then we boarded a Bateau Mouche, a narrow and long boat that travels the river Seine and has 'audio phones' where you can listen to the stories of the different buildings and bridges you cross.

On Day2:

The love bridge with all the locks.

So much love <3

After a short walk we arrived at the Louvre, this is the main entrance:

Yes, it's a glass pyramid!

You get in, and then down, to a huge hall and then you get directed up again to the different rooms.

We had a tour guide to explain us some of the paintings.

The stories were interesting, but the details on how the paint is displayed etc etc was boring...

Huge paintings!

And one of the most famous...

Hey there Mona.

Somewhere outside, 3 cute pyramids...

As I said before, we basically fuelled ourselves with coffee, and there was a Starbucks at every corner of the city...

Coffee by day, Alcohol by night.

Catching the Happy Hour for mojitos, margaritas, sex on the beach and all these yum cocktails.

Day 3 we left early, but we visited a museum and we went for a walk:

Morning next to the river Seine.

Then, we went to the Musee d'Orsay. More art.

The clock seen from inside.

Well known paintings were displayed there.

The building itself is very artistic.

Details of the roof.

We went to visit Montmartre, a really pleasant neighbourhood... were Moulin Rouge is found !

The weather was fantastic, the sun cheered me up.

We found the wall of Love. The phrase ''I love you'' is written in almost (if not all) the languages of the world.

Did you spot 'i love you' in your language??

The last picture is this one. A cafe viennois (whipped creammmm)

I did not take too many pictures, and did not take pictures of my food...

Paris is a city i've visited so many times that does not feel so strange and new as it did.

I don't have much to say overall, we stayed in a youth hostel (very clean and good location)

and we traveled by bus all over the place. Also, we visited the city by night, which I had not done before. 

I cannot say it was the best trip , but many more (exciting trips) are about to come!
