Nusa Islands - the real good place

§ Day 1 - Nusa Lembongan & Ceningan

To reach Nusa Lembongan we took a fast boat from Sanur port. One way ticket was 200000 IDR (~12 EUR) and the ride was around 30 minutes. The ride was itself an experience.

When we left from Kuta, it started to rain.
With one of these boats we crossed the water
We arrived quite early at the accommodation and the room was not ready yet. This time the property was splendid! As it was advertised on pictures. If you wander how much it was, we payed for two nights only 37EUR.
With a pool, of course
From the property we rented a scooter. Thanks to Victor for convincing me to do that! On the islands the only way of transportation is either by walking either by scooters. This way we covered a large area of Nusa Lembongan and the whole Nusa Ceningan. By the way, our accommodation was on Nusa Lembongan.
The two islands are connected through the Yellow bridge.
The Yellow bridge!
On Nusa Ceningan we went searching for the Blue Lagoon and on our way we discovered other beauties! From here will start the photo gallery!
It's a thing on these islands to have swings!
A no name beach, great for surfing. We stopped for a quick swim

I couldn't resist the temptation!

The roads were okay with some exceptions.
Told ya! You can find at any point a swing. This remembers me of my childhood. Only my brother is missing from the picture
In the background of the picture above you can see also mangroves.

§ Day 2 - Nusa Penida

From the Yellow bridge we took a fast boat to Nusa Penida. The return trip was 120000 IDR (~7 EUR). Our hosts were very nice and took us by scooter to the Yellow bridge to take the boat. The ride was ~10 minutes. Once arrived there, we rented a scooter and drove to Kelingking beach. 
Even if the beach is only at 13km distance from the port it took us about 40-50 minutes to reach the Kelingking view point. 
Dragon shaped cliff
The view is breathtaking and the beach looks dreamlike
To get down there some effort is required! Wait to see! Who said it's easy to get in paradise?!
The "stairs" look like this, but this are easy. It's not recommended to wear flippers 
And sometimes the slope was straight.. It was a little bit challenging. All the exercises to strengthen my arms were useful.

That moment when you reached your destination!
By the way the descending felt longer than the ascending.
Is this real?! I was surprised to listen on the beach O-Zone "Dragostea din tei"

That will be from Nusa Islands! Next stop: Gili Trawangan!

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)

Magnificent Florence

After reading Dan Brown's Inferno I wanted to go to Florence! That was two years ago and I had booked a trip for March 2020 but it was canceled due to the pandemic. This year I booked another trip for March, but that one got canceled too because I got covid. One month later I finally managed to visit Florence, but the plan doesn't always works out the way one expects. Initially the trip was for 3 nights but the airline with which I got the flight tickets changed the timetable and the first direct flight to return was after another 2 days, therefore I ended up spending 5 nights. Which turned out to be better! The journey to reach Florence was hellish! Apparently the airport is small, between cities, with only one runway, fairly short and not very wide. Additionally to that, the place is surrounded by high mountains, which is why it can be approached only in one direction. Not only does the terrain brings this challenge with it, but it also effectuates in a very unusual microclim

Kasteel de Haar - a luxurious castle

During the rainy days and with the current restrictions, my only consolation is writing about magical places I discovered in the past months in Netherlands. The subject of this post is De Haar Castle, a place rich in stories!  The joy of exploring this flamboyant castle De Haar is the largest castle in the Netherlands, once the private residence of the Van Zuylen family, whose descendants still stay there yearly. In the last century, the castle also frequently hosted members of the international jet set with their lavish lifestyle; from Coco Chanel to Roger Moore, they too left their mark on the sumptuous rooms of the most opulent spot in Utrecht. I visited the castle a couple of weeks ago, together with my dearest friend, Ioana, and it was a lovely Sunday, even with some warm sunshine!  This year I bought  Museumkaart  which allows free entrance to about 400 museums in the Netherlands, De Haar Castle included! Despite the months when the museums were/are closed, I got to use it a coup
