Who hasent spent a week sunbathing in Alanya?
Yes, who hasn’t spend a week or two sunbathing in Alanya. I’ve been to Turkey about… I don’t know, I’ve lost count on how many times. A few years back, we had at least one week in Turkey, each year, just to relax and enjoy the sun, the ocean and the food. The Turkish cousine is amazing, regardless if you’re at a fancy resturant, a beach lunchplace, ordering drinks at the poolarea or exploring the local grocery store range. Turkey is actually one of the better sun-vacation destinations when it comes to dry cider, they had it long before most places started having Strongbow or Magners.If you havent tried Turkish…

The flickering lights, the food, the music, the dressed up people, the dressed up people dancing on the tables to the contemporary music in the most spectacular enviroment.Have you ever seen or experienced anything like it?

Infinity pool
Isnt this an amazing pool area?An infinity pool looking out over the Mediterranean sea, that’s one of the most relaxing poolareas I’ve had the pleasure of visiting. As you can see, mostly by the size of the evergrowing kid, this trips to Turkey was a few years ago. We stayed at Paloma hotels in Özdere, quite close to Izmir if you know where that is. It was one of those secluded all inclucive hotels with tree poolareas, several private beaches and if I remember correctly five different resturants belonging to the hotel. The hotel was beautiful, but it was located in the middle of nowhere. There was a small village…

I collect ducks
Yes, that’s my thing. I think most of of have that one thing we’re always looking to buy when we travel the world, I know I do. I always run around in different souvenir shops and boutiques trying to find my things. I collect ducks and I try to find one in every city but it’s not always that easy so imagine my surprise when we stumbled upon a duck store in Barcelona. I ended up buying a mosaic painted Gaudi duck to my collection, that seemed like the right duck to bring home from Barcelona, but I regretted not buying the green cactus duck. Do you see it? Isn’t…

Fontana di trevi
Whom of you have ever been to Rome and visited the fontana di trevi? I’ll tell you this, we werent alone at the fountain. There was a sea of tourists craming to get through, just to get that one good image. As did I. But as all traveling bloggers say, go to the big toristattractions in the morning, when the light is great and the rest of the world is sleeping – that’s when you’ll get that great image. //Ann #nouwautumnchallenge #travelblogger #rome #italy

Pálinka
Have you ever tried Pàlinka? I’ts a traditional fruit brandy that has been served since the middle ages, it comes in several different flavours, made with locally grown fruits like apple, apricot, cherries and plum. Sounds yummie right? Well, the bartender was more than willing to serve us a glas of Pàlinka and when we asked if he enjoyed it the answer was no. He compared the taste of the liquor to windowcleaner. Yeah right, one might think. But yes, that man was not wrong. You know that feeling when you spray your windowcleaner and some of the spraydust gets in your mouth, that’s Pàlinka for ya. If you go…

Sightseeing in Prague
We spent our last day in Prague just walking around the city, doing some sightseeing before we headed to the airport. The day you’re going home is always just half a day, since you travel most of the day. Or atleast spending a lot of time on the airports just waiting around. What do you usually do on your last day abroad?

Architecture in London
In my last post reguarding Lonon, I was quite harsh about my feelings towards the city and me kind of not liking it. And that’s my overall feeling after my first weekend spent in UK, ever. But I do love the arcitechture and the cities uniqe structures, and I just had a fever – I was not blind. The buildings in the city are really amazing, and one of my absolut favorites are the details on St Paul’s cathedral. Do you have a favorite part of the city or a favorite building in London?
