Hillside Beach Club, Turkey: Watersports And Beach Party

Posted on August 17, 2014 | Leave a comment

I need to move, don’t you?

I love beach, but soon I need to walk, swim, dive (a must), surf (no comment, lol) …! Well to enjoy sports related with water: the only ones sports that really interest me at the seaside!

Here at the Hillside Beach Club, I started with the best: diving of course! Followed by a fast catamaran initiation: I haven’t done it for ages (picture 1)! Awesome when you can take the speed!

I regret not having had time to do a bit of water skiing. The facilities are new and the location is stunning: the pontoon is down a hillside (pictures 2, 3 & 4).

After sports, beach party!

No, I won’t play the jaded! It’s fun. A touch of Daft Punk, Pharrell and Azealia (Banks) mixed with stars in the sky, ephemeral bar on the beach, cool people and the sea, the sea, the sea … Good vibes!

Bye bye beach bar, we head to Le Pacha whose the small disco is desert tonight! Too bad, excellent extended remix of a song of Azealia (again!). Seriously I’m more into strawberries and almonds than alcohols (picture below)!

People prefer staying outside and chatting in comfortable white seats, along with a soup! Apparently it is a late evening habit in Turkey, just before going home. Around 1 am, I left the small team, to collapse in my bed! Tomorrow will be beach?

Hillside Beach Club, Turquie: Sports nautiques et soirée

Posted on August 17, 2014 | Leave a comment

J’ai besoin de bouger, pas vous?

La plage, j’aime beaucoup, mais très vite je ne tiens plus en place : j’ai besoin de marcher, nager, plonger (le must), glisser (plus rarement)…! Bref profiter des sports en rapport avec l’eau : les seuls qui m’intéressent vraiment au bord de la mer!

Ici, au Hillside Beach Club, j’ai commencé par le meilleur : la plongée bien sûr! Suivi d’une initiation accélérée au catamaran : je n’en avais plus fait depuis des lustres (photo 1)! Très chouette lorsqu’on prend de la vitesse! Je passe sur les trombes d’eau que j’ai ramassée, LOL!

Faute de temps, je regrette de ne pas avoir fait un peu de ski nautique. Les équipements sont nickels et l’emplacement est superbe : ponton à flanc de colline (photos 2, 3 & 4).

Après les sports, la fête à la plage

Non, je ne vous la jouerai pas blasée! Un zest de Daft Punk, Pharrell et Azealia (Banks) bien mixés, sous une pluie d’étoiles, bar éphémère sur la plage, gens cools et la mer, la mer, la mer… ça me va parfaitement!

Bye bye le bar de/sur la plage, nous nous dirigeons vers Le Pacha, dont la petite disco est déserte ce soir! Dommage, excellente extented remix d’un titre Azelea (again!). A chacun son truc, suis plus fraises et amandes qu’alcools (photo ci-dessous)!

Les gens préfèrent bavarder dehors dans de confortables sièges blancs, accompagnés d’une soupe! Il paraît que c’est une habitude en Turquie en fin de soirée, juste avant de rentrer chez soi. Vers 1h, je quitte la petite équipe, morte! Demain ce sera plage?

Cologne, Germany: The Belgian Quarter, Belgisches Viertel

Posted on June 10, 2014 | Leave a comment

I’ve never thought of Cologne

as a trendy destination to spend a weekend if Thalys was not invited me to the event Le Bloc in the Belgian Quarter, the hipster Babel with the streets names: Brüsseler Str., Antwerpener Str. and Genter Str.!

I arrive in Cologne with an incredible blue sky, blazing sun and 30°! The station is opposite the famous Cathedral (massive). And the Belgian Quarter is 10 minutes by taxi, about 20 minute walk or 2 metro stations.

Here Pharrell could have filmed a sequence shot of Happy!

It feels good instantly, arty atmosphere (without attitude) and smiling people. I walk from one designer shop to another, when I find a pastry with amazing couture cakes (picture 7, N°2).

I also notice shops with well known brands such as Marimekko (picture above), flea markets and welcoming shaded terraces (I do like!). And quite unusual for me, people walk with their beer in hand day and night.

Le block has highlighted designers for seven years.

This event focuses on fashion, design and music in Cologne. This year among the special guests: Conni Kaminski from Brussels and Toos Franken from Antwerp.

After the fashion shows, invited by the Flandern, we head towards Franz, a very nice small restaurant (picture below, Nos. 1 & 2), featuring an assortment of flammekueches with extra fine paste and varied flavors (salmon, goat-zucchini …). Plus an exclusive live of the beautiful Mariama, a German folk singer living in Paris who plays for us only! Then Conni joined us.

Around midnight, the streets are crowded (pictured below, No. 3, a wood bar). Happy vibe, people talk and drink next to the bar. We choose an outdoor bar at random. After several cocktails, a diet coke for me and more giggles, I collapsed on my bed at 3am!

My tip : Book your hotel in the Belgian Quarter if you like to go out at night. There are many nice bars and small restaurants. Walking distances: you can do everything on foot in the neighborhood.

Meeting Esther Perbandt in her shop in Mitte, Berlin

Shopping for gifts in Lisbon

I was a guest of Thalys and these are my opinions of course!
