And again it's Monday. 

New week, same shit! Just kiddin' better shit! 

Due to the wee time I have this week, I am really looking forward to it! lectures, work, friends, trips ... and it's almost May which means summer is almost round the corner ... summer 2012 reminiscence! 

happiness galore! 

 

London calling

I cannot believe it's been a couple of years now since I've been to London. I guess it's time to revisit the Capital and do the things I've been unable to do back then due to my young age. :) I've chosen just some typical pictures for this post. As a teenager I didn't pay to much attention to taking a 'good' picture. I followed the motto've been there. done that. snapshot!

sunday funday

I've spent my weekend in Polanica-Zdrój. Now, I'm back home, kind of tired but there's nothing like home, right? At least, that's what I was told! Anyway, wish you all a lovely Sunday. 

I've heard this song on my way home and now I cannot get rid of it and I don't even want to! :D 

 

wanderlust galore

Looking at these pictures makes me wanna grab my suitcase and jump into the next plane. and fly. fly. fly. explore. visit. get to know. What can I say? The wanderlust has got me and I won't can't let go of it.

Venezia. Colpo di Fulmine.

Colpo di Fulmine. Love at first sight. When it comes to people I'm not sure whether I believe in it but when it comes to cities or places ... I'm sure I do! One of those places that I fell head over heels in love with is Venice. I don't know what it is but there is definitely something that makes my heart beat faster each time I'm there.

I'm sure, by now you know how much I love travelling. It's like the apple to my pie, the straw to my berry, the smoke to my high, ... I think you get my point.

Paris: my impressions

Paris, you gave me wine, cheese and chocolate and in return I will love you forever! 

French people are beyond friendly, their chocolate is sinnfully delicious, the city is one of a kind ... there are only positive aspects! :D

Monsieur Taiclet

Walking along Quai de Montebello. Bouquinistes every few steps.
Then there's this one special wooden stall where I saw this piece of art I knew I had to have! And it's mine! :)
After chatting for a wee with this lovely gentlemen, I found out that he's the artist himself! Salut, Monsieur Taiclet! Some of the works he sells are his own paintings! Incredible right? :) 

 

Paris: day four

Paris, Paris, Paris.

Sunday- funday, right? We decided to make a boat tour. We've seen all of the main 'touristic attractions' therefore this was like a summary for us, to way to say good bye, at least for me.

Before heading to the boat we made a short stop at Odette. 

Maison Georges Larnicol

I truly believe in this quote:

Nine out of ten people like chocolate. The tenth person always lies.... by John Q. Tullius

With its door wide open, the shop is literally smiling and inviting you in! Obviously, you cannot resist and enter this chocolate heaven. As soon as you walk in ...

Paris: day three

Day three. The weather decided to play against us! It was cold and windy but we decided it's time for Montmartre or should I say an Amélie Poulain feeling? :)

Paris: day two

Day two. Time for more sightseeing. Louvre. Angelina. Musée d'Orsay. Notre Dame.  Shakespeare & Company.
