Day 6 - Another sunny day

I woke up and went to the bar from the resort to take a cappuccino. The bartender asked me in Spanish: unos, dos, quatro? In my head: four shots of  espresso are too many, two is ok. What I received: two cappuccino cups :)). The guy was asking how many cups I want.
We went to search for Playa de Las Americas but we found instead Playa de Troya. We saw a parking spot close to the destination and stopped there (it's not easy to find a free spot). Well, the beach we were looking for was 1km away. This one that we found was very crowded. Today was very hot for this time of the year. In the afternoon the sand was very hot. The sea was a little bit agitated. Even so I got one hour to chillax in the sun bath.
From there we went to a thermal spa club nearby. It's not comparable with Therme from home. It's much smaller. What I liked there: a pool with marine salt in which you float, a place where you walk on small stones to massage your feet and toes, Scottish showers and with aromatherapy. In less than a hour I was bored.
Yesterday evening we missed an exit on a roundabout and passed by a mill. Today we came back to try the food. It's a little bit more expensive than the other places around but the food is delicious. I tried some Canarian chicken in mojo (read moho with h cause h is not Ew!) with Canarian potatoes. The potatoes are boiled with peel and served with two sauces: mojo rojo & verde. The red one is with peppers and garlic and the green one is pesto. By the time we left the restaurant it was already twilight.
We drove back to Costa Adeje to check a restaurant with live saxophone music. During the day they have nice view (we went there before), during the night it becomes a luxurious place, the waiters are more helpful, they push your chair to seat down or they help you to get your coat off.
Two days left before going home :(!

Croatia: Dreamy Northern Dalmatia

We spent the last days of our holiday exploring the classic Dalmatian cocktail of historic towns, jewel-like waters, rugged limestone mountains, gorgeous climate and Mediterranean cuisine of the Northern Dalmatia. Plitvice Lakes In order to have a full day to spend exploring Plitvice Lakes we stayed overnight in the area. It was so quiet and peaceful there! I wish we could have stayed more days to enjoy that serenity state of the place. Being in some way a remote place it wasn't easy to find a restaurant to have dinner, but when we did it was the best. Cevapi, traditional grilled minced meat with ajvar (roasted red peppers sauce) I don't have a sweet tooth but I enjoy trying local deserts. Traditional strudel with cherries - a touch of chocolate makes this simple desert in a delicacy  Morning coffee with a view Love is in the air! From the accommodation we had 15-20 minutes drive to the Entrance 1 of the park. We have researched which trails to take and the best views are start

Croatia: The Magical Istria

After the short stop in Trogir we drove to Pula where booked accommodation for 3 nights to explore the city and surroundings.  The country side on the way to Pula The drive took around 6h with some stops on the way. After we checked in we went directly in the city center for dinner. One speciality I saw it on the menu in the area is grilled squid with Swiss chard and potatoes. I was hesitant with the green leafs because they waiters were saying it's like spinach and I'm not a big fan of it. But this one was really tasty!   Grilled squid with Swiss chard and potatoes @  Kantina Restaurant The next day we went to one beach in Pula in the morning, another beach in Rovinj in the afternoon and stayed for dinner in Rovinj and explored a bit the city center. Hawaii Beach   Hawaii is a pebbly beach, with big rocks but it's worth it! The water is crystal clean and a good spot for snorkeling. It also has some high cliffs that attract the adventurous ones who want to jump in the water

Stories from Hamburg

Lately I've heard a lot about Hamburg, how awesome it is and I was curious to see it with my own eyes. Being in Berlin these days, was the perfect moment to do it. I bought train tickets and here I am in a train going to Hamburg. With my book, enjoying a 2h train ride  The weather was not favorable to me, but I still have all my fingers. I must say, the rainy day enhanced the colors of this city. I was not kidding about the cold It took me a few time to get used with the temperature, but after that I forgot it was cold. I had set in mind to see the canals. I came here for that. I read some articles about this and I was impressed. It's said that it has more than Venice or Amsterdam. From what I've seen, it looks a lot with both of them, but on a different scale. If in the two cities mentioned the buildings are not so tall, here we find massive constructions. #wanderlust #urbanphotography #enthusiastictraveller A post shared by Madalina G. (@gmadalina92)
