I have decided to start with the story of two sisters, Katy and Charlotte, who truly got the travel bug. They have visited over 40 different countries, most of them together, and many feature into their Blog Page “The Balkans and Beyond”.
Luxembourg Gardens provide ample green space for relaxing, sun-soaking in Paris and people-watching. When the city bustle becomes too overwhelming, meander around the paths and formal gardens, or just relax with a picnic. Kids can float sailboats at the Grand Basin, ride ponies or take a spin on the merry-go-round. Adults might delight in the on-site Musee du Luxembourg, the first French museum that was opened to the public.
Nowadays we read and learn so much about a city or a place we will visit, we see so many pictures and videos. Does it happen to you too? Already have seen a movie stetted there, maybe. So it kind of ruins all the fun and the surprise of a new place you are visiting. That did not happen to me with Valencia.
Spain is one of those places I would be glad to come back again and again, always loving everything, the weather, the people, the street performers, the laid back lifestyle, the language, the music, the Food! Everyone smiles all the time. It is my happy place.
I had been waiting for it for a long time, but other plans kept interrupting. I was transiting to another city, I had 24 hours to at least “taste” the roman atmosphere. I knew I would come back again, and a coin tossed into the Trevi Fountain made sure that happened 8 months later, January 2017. I will let you know about that in a future post.
