Summer lovin' happened so fast

Paris, July 2011
First stop of our Interrail holiday. It's the fun fair at Jardin des Tuileries (Tuileries Garden) which is open in July and August. Although we only wandered around watching the attractions and people, the atmosphere was lovely. The sand gives a bit of a beach idea. Strange to find a relaxed place like this in the center of Paris, close to all those crowded touristic spots.

Save the Biltmore!

The Belleview Biltmore Hotel was one of the hotels we stayed in during our holiday in Florida, 2008. It was built in 1896 and had a very princess-like style with furnitured ball rooms etcetera. Very old, but classy. Sure some stuff was in need of renovation but most of it was in pretty mint condition.

"The hotel was built in 1896 by railroad tycoon Henry B. Plant and was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places on December 26, 1979. However, this provides no protection from demolition." (Wikipedia)

The current owner is planning to demolish it. Hell no, USA already doesn't have a lotta history and when they have a historic place, they want to replace it by money making condo's?! WHAT'S UP WITH THAT.

Please save the Biltmore. I'd love to visit it again. If it reopens ever.

Venice people mover

This thing just came up in my head. It's a kinda subway but it's not. And it has no driver.

Venice, July 2011
When the man at the train station told us about the 'people mover', we had no idea what to expect. A bus? A train? A moving walkway?
Then i asked what it was. That's the moment the proud Italian train man freaked out.
"Iffe you lette me finish, I can tell you exactely......" (fonetic Italian voice lol)

All those memories about my Interrail holiday last Summer are starting to come back these days. Maybe i need a holiday.

Saturday: Disneyland Paris!

Yeahh coming Saturday i'm off to Disney for a day. Unfortunately not both parks, but still..Space Mountain, Indiana Jones, Mickey, here i comeeeee! Instant happiness in this cold February hihi.

London 2011

Thanks to my friend Joy for the first two pics!

Oxford Street

Covent Garden

Hyde Park

London was so great again! Lots of shopping and running around the city, there was so much to see. Only the busdriver made our trip a little harder, first he brought us almost two hours later and then in the evening he made us wait an hour and a half before he arrived with the bus. IN THE FRIGGIN FREEZIN RAINY NIGHT. INSANE. Bedankt Milot Reizen.
Besides that, the recently opened shopping mall Westfield Stratford City (close to the Olympic Stadium) is perfectly big and everything you wish for. Only Kiko Cosmetics was overpriced, so next time in Italy or Germany i'll buy a LOAD of that.

Almost Saturday ----> LONDON

Westfield Stratford City Mall

The alarm clock song that made me insane last time in London.. Drums in the morning..cannot handle

17dec: London time again!

Going to visit London for a day; time for some serious shopping
(a new shopping mall yay!), completely in Christmas style.
Definitely looking forward to it!

Some holiday pics

We're back for about a week now from our super awesome Interrail trip. It was one of the most memorable holidays i ever made; all those destinations, views, people we met, amazing!

Sorry for not blogging for a while now, but in a couple of hours i'm off to Paris!
The start of our Interrail trip with the following route: Paris - Lyon - Barcelona - Milan - Venice - Vienna - Prague - Berlin.

Maybe i'll be blogging something while on the road but i cannot guarantee that. 3 weeks without an own computer. Pretty hard time though.

See y'all soon!

Tomorrow we'll be off to Paris! I've got mixed feelings at the moment.. the trip i wanted so much will start tomorrow.
I'm looking forward to this for months, since we decided to go! But now it's so incredibly close, it scares me a bit.
Also it's expensive, it's living with a smaller suitcase than ever before and i met a guy a while ago that i'm gonna miss.

8 days to go

Love this maps, but they are big & kinda expensive (10 €)

I'm slowly starting to pack for my 3 week Europe trip.
Buying some stuff from time to time, putting it in the trolley bag... Think i gonna miss my all day access to the Internet, blogging also. It seems fun to me to blog while being on the road, but it's not gonna work properly + leaving my laptop at home is a safer plan.

One school thing bothers me and i have one last day at work.. Thursday it's all done! For now we have sun, heat & school work.

Next month

I don't know where to start.... and where it will end. 

Plan for the summer

I found paradise

I'll be back. DEFINITELY

I guess i'll be a silent blogger for 2 weeks. While you keep checking, i keep eating donuts, enjoying the beach, shopping, seeing the most beautiful things on earth cause i'll be residing in a paradise called Bali!!!!!
xxx take care everybody

I feel like this and nothing can bother me cause i'm leavin on a jetplane don't know when i'll be back again. Bali. Love. Paradise. Rest. Bye pauper queen. You wish you could go on any holiday right now. HA!

J'adore Space Invader

Sticker of an Invader admirer i guess

Went to Banksy's movie Exit Through The Gift Shop last Saturday & i loooooved it! I want to be a graffiti/sticker artist too... totally brainwashed. It's SO awesome.

When i saw the French artist Space Invader and his work in the movie i immediately thought of my trip to Paris in 2009, where i photographed his work too ! He'd triggered me already & now even more. Here you can read my older entry from last year when his work was obsessing my mind.

LOVE

Gimme 12 days and you won't see me in the rain here for two weeks. See you at Bali if you need me. 

Till then i'm a diehard at my internship. 

I'm back and awake agaiin

London was great, i wanted to stay. That's always my problem when i'm travelling. I'm always unbelievably sad to leave, i don't want everything to start all over again like school, work etcetera.
The weather was nice, the hotel looked great, i wanted to visit lovely markets like Camden Lock & Portobello (above you see the colored houses on Portobello Road), just want to have more relaxing nice days in this beautiful city.. i'll be back!

Toko foodness

Got it Saturday for my 19th birthday. My aunt filled it with products from her toko niceee : D

Oh and tomorrow i'm going to London again! I'll stay for four days with a friend of mine, so hopefully i'm gonna have a nice time shopping, chilling, eating over there! Yayyyy
