Granny Gave Birth!

FRANCE | Saturday, 8 Jun 2013 | Views [545]

After almost missing my train to Perpignan by two minutes yesterday, I gave/had ample time to be at the station for my train to Avignon today. Instead of going around the town, I spent my morning with my new Quebecois friends, Camille and Claudia, waiting ... Read more >

En route to Barcelona

SPAIN | Sunday, 2 Jun 2013 | Views [336]

I'm travelling on yet another train. There will be a lot more of this. This time I'm going from Zaragoza to Barcelona on a slow regional train. Slow might put some people off, but I actually have enjoyed taking it easy, watching the scenery, having ... Read more >

Leaving Madrid

SPAIN | Saturday, 1 Jun 2013 | Views [385]

Waking up at 6am to go to Zaragoza was a difficult feat. Before waking up, I was dreaming that my phone had become dysfunctional, ringing constantly. I battled with trying to make it stop - switching it off, taking the charger off, checking the ... Read more >

Merry in Madrid

SPAIN | Thursday, 30 May 2013 | Views [452]

Madrid has been such a pleasant surprise. Contrary to what I've heard, it is a beautiful city with the most amazing food. There's a lot to do here but you don't feel overwhelmed like in other big cities. Gazing at Spanish architecture, visiting ... Read more >

So San Sebastian...

SPAIN | Tuesday, 28 May 2013 | Views [333]

Not quite what I expected. I expected a cool town dedicated to the surf, sand and sun. I expected sunny and warm weather. I expected beautiful tanned folks that were friendly and smiled. Maybe I got confused with Rio. While the town is beautiful with ... Read more >

Last Day in Paris

FRANCE | Sunday, 26 May 2013 | Views [533]

I have to be honest. I am feeling a little blue today. It feels strange being alone again after having my parents accompany me (sometimes grudgingly because I make them walk too much) for two and a half weeks. Seeing them leave today mean going back ... Read more >

La Cité d'Amour

FRANCE | Tuesday, 21 May 2013 | Views [2308] | Comments [1]

It is true what they say. Paris is indeed beautiful. You find yourself constantly stopping to admire things and if possible, preserving the memory with a photograph for later. Even though it's raining and due to rain all week, this gorgeous city is still ... Read more >

In Bruges

BELGIUM | Sunday, 19 May 2013 | Views [584]

I like Bruges. Sorry that was a mistake. I love Bruges! It was love at first sight.   Passing Ghent on the way in, had me worrying what Bruges would be like. Ghent seemed very gothic - almost too gothic to be comfortable in. Bruges, on ... Read more >

First Stop: Amsterdam

NETHERLANDS | Thursday, 16 May 2013 | Views [500]

I have to admit before coming to Amsterdam, I thought the city was all about legal prostitution and pot. I was surprised each time someone told me it was beautiful. I was unsure when I read that it is a city of museums and chic cafés. Surely ... Read more >
