The buildings around Trinity University
Just walking around Trinity University is an experiece in itself, the buildings that surround the area is fantastic. I mean of course it is, it was founded back in 1592 by Queen Elisabeth and it is Ireland’s oldest surviving university. I am well aware that the most iconic tourist place is not on my list of buildings that surround Trinity University. I think I’ll save that disappointment to a different post, stay tuned…

Dublin by night
I’ve told you about Angelicas fiances love for bridges right?Dont really know when it started but he’s got this thing about walking over bridges, so where ever we go, he’s always talking absout the bridges. I think I’ve I’ve told you about this before. Anyways, Dublin have a lot of bridges, in a variety of sizes and shapes. Ha´Penny bridge is the most iconic pedestrian bridge, O’Connell Bridge is dating back to 1794, Millennium Bridge is the one you cross when getting to and from Tempel Bar area and yes the list goes on… but to sum it up, I liked them all the best at night, when they were…

Relaxing in the sun
The weather was not all great during our christmas trip to Funchal Madeira, but even though it wasent warm enough to wear a bikini all day you still got to enjoy the sun. The evenings got a bit cold, like jeans and a sweater cold, so kind of like swedish summers but we did have a lot of bikini moments during the earlier parts of the day where we could just hang around the pool. I had a variety of different clothings packed, everything from bikinis and shorts to smaller jackets and longer dresses. And I used everything. I would say that Madeira during christmas makes it hard to pack…

There’s been heavy snowfall…
… during the last couple of days. And as Angelica said in the earlier post, you kind of forget how beautiful our hometown is. It sure is a privilege to have this kind of enviroment surrounding you every day. It’s cold, its a a hassle to be shoveling snow and the trafic is kind of chaos but when you stop and look around you… it’s beautiful. It’s not like I’m gonna go outside and make angels or snowmen, but still. It sure is beautiful. //Ann

Around the beaches in old town, Side
I promised you in an earlier blogpost about Side that I would show you some more of what we stumbled across whilst walking the beaches of old town Side. Its was truly an amazing experience walking around is this enviroment and even though I’m filling this blogpost with lots and lots of images there are so much more from Side that I havent even begun to show you yet. There are not only great beaches with wonderfly warm waters in lovely Turkey. Me and my family has been traveling quite a few places within the country, but the one that amazed me the most was Side. Beautiful creatures, kilometers of…

How to survive the winterwonderland
It is beautiful right? Right, it’s beautiful in a picture or on a walk in woods, you enjoy the indoors more with a good book, a large blanket and some mulled wine. But is that really how you survive the season of winterwonderland? This is actally not the season I dislike most, that’s the grey in between seasons. You know, when falls turns grey and just awaits winter, or when winter fades out and everything turnes grey again in the pre-spring season. That’s what I dislike most, the grey-tween-season. Am I making up words again? Honestly, I do think the grey it’s what keeps me most busy making plans for…

One of the places in Tempel Bar area
There were a lot of bars in the Tempel bar area and I mean, really, a lot. Some cozy, some cool but they were all great in their own way. And what I liked the most was that several of them had live music playing with some really amazing local musicians playing. The best thing about this bar though, was the cheese platter. Angelica really doesnt like cheese, but fortunately Hanna does and she’s never one to say no to a shared plate of goodies. //Ann

The harbour area in Funchal
I really loved walking around in the area of the harbour in Funchal, Madeira. It had everything. Beautiful parks with greeneries. Resturants and pubs. A small amusement park with a few rides. And watching the big cruiseships dock for the night, while sipping a drink in the sun, that’s really not a bad way to end off a great day.

Portraits at the Guinness Storehouse
Just walking around at the Storehouse gave a lot of portrait opportunities, there were so many beautiful and cool locations that just gave a pretty backdrop. It was really hard though, trying to fit in between all the tourists just to get that one image. Meaning, we did not do what I always tell you guys, to go there in the morning or right before closingtime, we were there midnoon ofcourse.

Jureskogs burgers
Sometimes I’m drawn to healthy foods and I do have a tendency to plan for exercise, but the chooseatarian in me is often to strong to overcome. That means I’m mostly pleased if theres a little lettuce on my pizza, or happy about the lemon with my tequila. I choose meat, junkfood and a great drink to follow. So when my brother suggested, formerly known as Big S if you are one of those who read my old blog, that we take a look at Jureskogs Restaurant in the center of Stockholm, I quickly agreed. So our plan was that we celebrate Big S’s birthday with burgers and a few…
