This is about my life in Zurich, all the places I visit, what I get up to with my son and anything I think is good to blog about.

Streetart in Vilnius, Lithuania
The October break saw myself and Alessio head off to Lithuania and the capital Vilnius. It is quite well known for the street art and one in particular which I could not find. The one depicting Donald Trump and Putin kissing, it was then changed to them sharing a cigarette. I would have loved to have seen it but sadly it was not to be.
We saw lots of other great works and there was a map where you can visit all the street art, we did see quite a lot but not all. Hope you enjoy looking at them.
The weekend past was in Barcelona and we had a lovely time. We were really lucky to have had really warm weather.
Just two more weeks left to work, well technically seven working days and then we are off to Scotland for Christmas.
Have a great week

Vilnius At Night
Our October break was spent in Vilnius, Lithuania. We had a lovely time and here are night photos I took, so not very many in the end.
Our next trip is to Barcelona in December, looking forward to see what Christmas events there is on offer and of course looking forward to see my father. And last but not least again to see my favourite team play FC Barcelona.
Hope you all had a good weekend
