A Stopover in Palma de Mallorca, Spain

Posted on January 2, 2013 | Leave a comment

No need to go far!

I want to start this new year by sharing with you an island I recently rediscovered and loved during my mini cruise. No it is not an exotic paradise lost in the middle of nowhere…

But during the Indian summer, Palma de Mallorca becomes a precious jewel. Besides the famous Danish fashion designer Malene Birger lives there year round. I really like the color of the blue blue Mediterranean sea and sky!

Emptied of its hordes of tourists, lazing in Palma bathed in a warm soft light, is a bless. And I really like its architecture, narrow streets, churches with carved facades, languor, terraces and hidden palaces. Enjoy these few snapshots!

Costa Neo Romantica: Cruise in Mediterranean

Posted on October 14, 2012 | 2 comments

Do you remember “The Love Boat”?

Well well, I tested for you… and guess what, I really enjoyed it, as crazy as it sounds! I would never (ever) have imagined a 5-day cruise in the Mediterranean on a boat with over a thousand people! You know, one of these floating-white-monsters-with-dozens-of-floors.

The trip started early morning: flight to Milan, then bus to Navona (I didn’t see anything of the city) and I obediently board the Neo Costa Romantica ship of the Costa fleet. After nearly a day of transportation and a long time of mandatory safety (including all of us, crew and customers), I finally relax on the desert deck pools. Yes finally I realize I’m on the water, on the top of the boat and coasts away, exciting!

And here is the big egg in wicker (photo above) where far from everything and everyone, I could admire the postcard beautiful sunsets during all the cruise! Cia-cia-ciao bellissima Italia, domani sarà (tomorrow, it’s)… To be continued…

Saint-Emilion Village in France

Another idea

for an early fall week-end (I know we just are at the end of August!), a postcard destination really close: the charming village of Saint-Emilion (in France).

I discovered Bordeaux and its region several months ago and now I’m a huge fan. Beyond the vineyards and the famous wine’s appellation, you defenitely have to visit the medieval village of Saint-Emilion!

A really exciting place with its imposing monolithic church, the largest in Europe (pictures 2, 3 & 4) with more than 70 hectares of underground tunnels dug into the limestone. Not to be missed, this is absolutely awesome!
