Iceland, the land of ice and fire – day 2.

We got up pretty early to enjoy the warm pool of the hotel. It’s nice to stay in a nice warm bath while it’s freezing outside (okay, it wasn’t freezing, but it was pretty cold, around 9ish ºC). We didn’t have much time, because we wanted to make our 6 day road trip worthwhile,  so…

Iceland, the land of ice and fire – day 1.

For a 6 day journey we had decided to drive around Iceland. We left baby L with the grandparents and we were off to a cold and amazing journey around this European jewel lost in Atlantic. We had tremendous help from miss-i-am-free, who had been to the island and had first hand tips for us.…

NYC days 4 & 5

As I go through my pictures I realise how many of them I forgot. I have photos from Sevilla and Açores to put up. More often than not, these days, I want to close down the blog. Make it private, maybe? This is something I do for me, most of the times. I know I…

Holidays, don’t go away.

I can’t believe I wrote petty instead of PRETTY on the previous post. All sorted out now, anyway. The moment you read this I’ll be lying on warm sand, trying to keep akira off my towel and/or myself, reading another Murakami masterpiece, feeling the freshness of the Atlantic, hopefully eating pastries, delicious pasta and fresh…

Pretty Nagoya.

After a well spent day in between little towns, we headed to Nagoya. Nagoya is big and very business-y like. One of the first things we saw when we go there was a lady laying on the floor and a few of her friends surrounding her. I got immediately worried, but figured the situation was…
