I had a fab weekend in Helsinki with my friends Riikka and Hannah, I will post all about it another time. Now it was time to catch up with the photo challenge!

I am glad to have a quietish weekend, Alessio may have a football match on Saturday and has a birthday party to go to on Sunday. So he is busy!

Have a great week!

Postcards from Dubrovnik Part 1

Hope you all had a lovely long holiday weekend! Alessio and I had a super time in Paris, but more about that another time!

During the spring holidays we went to Dubrovnik, Croatia along with my parents for just under one week. Dubrovnik is a lovely old city and is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. There are many churches, museums, fortresses to visit and there are many steps around the city so be prepared to climb! The city is surrounded by walls which you can walk along, it is 2km. We did this and you get awesome views of roof tops, the coast and of Lokrum island. There are some cafe/bars to stop for refreshments if you are feeling a bit puffed out!

There are many possibilities for day trips, there are many islands to visit, but because the sea was a bit choppy we never managed to go on any. You can visit Bosnia, Montenegro and other cities in Croatia which are all worth doing.

Dubrovnik is a very popular place and even in April it was quite busy, so if you visit in the summer months be prepared for loads of visitors.

It is another long weekend coming up and I am going to Helsinki with two friends Hannah and Riikka!

Time to catch up on the photo challenge, it certainly is a challenge having to make sure you have taken a photo each day.

Hope you all had a great weekend! I went to the birthday party of a work colleague on Saturday evening and we all had good fun. On Sunday I went to see the film King Arthur: Legend of the Sword, I thought it was quite good!

It is a short week as Thursday is a day off for most people as it is Ascension and since I don`t work Fridays that means a long weekend. Alessio and I are going to Paris, I love this city!

Have a great week!

Photo of the Week - Looking Down

It is mid week and the photo is from Zagreb, while we were in Slovenia we had a day trip to Zagreb which is in Croatia. We went up a building from some great views and this is one of the many photos I took. It you have not ever been to Zagreb then you should it is a lovely city and sadly we had only one day to explore!

This weekend is a football one for us, Alessio has a match on Saturday and on Sunday we are going to St.Gallen to see a friendly match between Spain and Bosnia. I am really looking forward to see Spain play, especially the players from FC Barcelona.

A Day in Zagreb!

View of the Cathedral

Croatian Parliment

National Theater

For the Easter break I went with my friend Arlene to Ljubljana, Slovenia. Ljubljana is situated pretty much in the centre of Slovenia, which makes it good for days trips to many places. We decided to go to Zagreb in Croatia, it only took a little over 2 hours and the best part it only cost 15 euros return. We could not believe how cheap that was, so it was an early rise as the train left 8.25am, off we went.

It being Easter Sunday everything was closed, (not a surprise really) but we kind off assumed since it is the capital of Croatia something would be opened. We were just really happy to be in another country and it was a lovely day.

We walked around, visited the Cathedral which as it was Sunday was extremely busy, went on the little train that takes tourists around the old town. Zagreb is a very lovely city, lots of lovely colourful buildings, parks and churches.

We went up the Zagreb 360 observation deck and got a really fantastic view of the city! It is on the 16th floor and situated in the heart of the city.

We had a great day and saw lots of Zagreb, and can really recommend visiting this city!
