Europe Travel Blogs

.... and finally it has come to an end. we may not have followed the original road of our roadtripping map, we missed andalucia, the great desert beaches, swam in the beaches of algarve in portugal, and the beautiful cities of sevilla and granada, but we were on a "trip" that many lessons in life t…

I returned from my first trip around the World a different person, something had changed inside me. I'd always had an inquisitive urge to discover what our Earth really looked like, but nothing had prepared me for what travelling would bring into my life. Its a bit like been a baby and disc…

So in the end maybe it’s as simple and gentle as that.  A pleasant bowl of luscious pasta with mince, olives and smoked applewood cheese knocked together by my sis.  A few final photos accompanied by assurances and promises to catch up with each other “soon” somewhere, somewhen on t…

It's end of May already as you all know but I still haven't finished blogging my trips from October of last year and here I am again, leaving soon this place that has been my home for a very long time.... 7 months to be exact, and that is…

David and I shopped a little in the morning and stopped by the ferry office to check on any ferries to Mykonos.... We were surprised to find the next ferry would leave the next day in the afternoon and would take hours.....  We decided to fly.... but it meant we would arrive in the late night …

On Monday morning, Dennis and I headed out early. It had been raining and was supposed to be a little slick, but we made it to Schiphol just fine. Dennis dropped me off and I went in and did my check-in. I would be meeting Erin this morning because we were flying back to the states together. But I …

Monday saw the numbers dwindling down to four, three, two, and finally just Sylvie.  On Monday morning I was awake before 7. I always have this phobia of waking up late on the day I have to be at the airport, but as usual, I ended up waking long before I was supposed to. But it gave me time …

Today was Day One of a ten-day visit to Central Anatolia, Turkey. We spent the first half of the day in the city of Konya. We didn’t have high expectations of this town (based on our guide book), but were surprised to find a very pleasant, leafy, super clean, and friendly town. I started the morn…

I had been out playing golf most of the morning in Brabrantse golf club and we had wonderful weather all morning and I was already looking forward to meet my friends Babs and Maxime for lunch after my brief stop at the 19th hole with my friend David. I went back to my apartment after golf and cal…

I forgot how beautiful Europe is in the summer. It's just about 10pm and the sun has barely set. I remember this happening in Geneva during the summer - the sun would set at 11pm and I thought it was the most extraordinary gift to have such lovely weather and some extra time to be outside and get t…

Christmas day 2007. For the first time in my life, we would break with tradition. Normally we would have had a big family dinner, but this year was different. It was the first Christmas after the unexpected death of my father earlier this year. It being all very unreal and strange, we decided t…
