Summer is for roadtrips

How time is flying by. I have to tell you this vaccation is one of the best i ever had so far. Three weeks behind us and one week still before us. I´m the lucky one with international parents and in-laws. My mother is from sweden and my father in law was born and grown up  in Brazil.

My husband and i love to travel and we often can choose between Sweden or Portugal as vaccation destination. Our parents have houses there. So this summer we planned a roadtrip to Portugal. Our son stayed with his grandparents and we got on our way. 6 days just for us as a couple and Paris, Biarritz, Bilbao, meet up with some old friends and so much more on the way.

We drove about 2300 km in 6 days. Included many visits, best croissants and baguette ever, cheese, good wine, crocheting on the road, ocean, ocean, ocean, friends…….

I will let the pictures tell the story:

So the last picture is the view that we have every day since our Roadtrip ended. It will be hard to leave. But still 4 days of vaccation. Tomorrow we go to Porto. Vila Nova de Gaia is on the other side of the Rio Douro. Where all the great Portwines come from.

and best summer wishes from Portugal.

Fly high, sunny London Eye!

Where has April  month gone?

Even if it´s 7 weeks ago i want to show you some pics from our trip to London.

Back  from a gorgeous, amazing, colourfull and springy visit to London. We had wonderfull warm weather the whole 4 days.

We had great food, beer, watched Milk at the cinema, did some tourist visits, went for a ride on the London eye and got a wonderful evening view.

Most of the time we took this transport system. We could see much more instead of  beeing Underground.

We did some window shopping. Saw great decorations and drank coffee, chai tea at starbucks, costa or nero.  There must be thousand cafés or more in lovely London.

Are you in need of a new dog generation?  Jeans dog, anyone?

Sundays are for food and art, when you visiting London.

We strolled over the old Spitalsfield Market and later we went to the Old Truman Brewery. Inside located the Sunday up Market. I think it´s even known as Brick Lane Market. It was colourful and we ate yummy delicious food.

Always worth a visit.

Great news!!!  As seen on Oxford or Regent Street. London will be the first european city with a Anthropologie Store.

Lucky Londoners.

Opening will be this autumn. Worth another visit to London.
As you see and read we had a great time in the UK. As always.
