    Day Trip to Colmar

    Colmar has been in our list of places to visit for a long time. The short distance from Zurich is very attractive (Colmar is only 150 KM from Zurich) and we can easily go for a day trip anytime. This was actually our second attempt to visit the city. Unfortunately, the first time we tried to visit, we had an accident on the motorway only 30 KM away from reaching Colmar and we were forced to return home. Luckily, nobody got hurt but we had to postpone our visit for few more months. Almost a year later, we finally managed to reach our destination. We were greeted with a beautiful…

    The 5 Best Digital SLR Cameras

    I am passionate about photography and there is no better way to register our special moments than with photos. I love taking photos of landscapes, cities where I travel and live. After a long trip, reviving the moments and places I visited just makes me happy, that is why I get so disappointed when I look at some photos and the quality of the colours is poor and not sharp. Taking a good camera during my trips is essential to me and there are some pretty good cameras in the market for reasonable and decent prices. I personally like the DSLR cameras, even though they are a pain to carry.…

    New Year in Granada

    Hello guys! I know I’m a bit late with this topic, but I still decided to share with you the end of the wonderful year we spent in Spain. We spent Christmas at my mother-in-law’s house in Slovakia. From there we took a plane to Madrid, rented a car and went to Toledo, Cuenca, Granada, Cordoba and Malaga. In total we drove more than 2,000 kilometers! It was an amazing trip, the countryside of Spain is wonderful, the highway to Granada and its endless olive trees in the mountains … just looking forward to go back to discover Spain more and more! Today I’m going to talk about our new…

    Bibury & Arlington Row

    Traveling through the English countryside seems more like a fairy tale than reality. We recently traveled to the Cotswolds, a rural area south of central England. As a base, we chose the town of Bourton-on-the-Water, a lovely village that is considered the Venice of England (I will be soon writting a post about Bourton too). From Bourton we took a taxi to Bibury (the fare costs around £30 return), we initially wanted to go by bus but the schedules are super limited and the buses do not run on Sundays and holidays in Bourton! If possible, I would highly recommend renting a car because this is the best way to…

    Lucca

    Love at first sight, that’s what I felt for Lucca the first time I visited city. Easy to walk around, the main attractions are all concentrated in the old part of the city, which is still guarded by an imposing wall over 4 km long. The wall was never used for military purposes, but rather to protect Lucca against the floods coming from the Serchio River. Lucca is one of the main cities of the Tuscany region. The city is known for its well-preserved Renaissance walls that surround its historic centre and its famous cobblestone streets. Lucca can be visited in a day or depending on which attractions you plan…
