We somehow found out that we have a strawberry field near our house. Just cross the street with a basket in your hand, pick all the big juicy sweet strawberries, pay to the lady in the booth and look forward to the strawberry cake :) That was our plan last saturday morning and it was successful. We had about five kilos of strawberries, but we managed to eat all of them and make a dream strawberry cake as well.
We had our first visitors here last weekend. Our friends came to see us and of course all the beauties of Munich. On Sunday we went for walk to Englischer Garten. The weather was excellent, sunny and very warm. We choose a different path as the first time to better know the park for future visitors and we came to the stream Eisbach (ice stream). Well, we’ve read about one place in the park, where people use to surf, but we’ve never seen this place before.
It was warm and sunshine weather yeasterday, so we went for a walk and finally finished in a huge greenhouse. We spent there a couple of hours and bought some green friends, which joined us in our home :) All of them should have (according to scientists) some sort of super power to absorb ill substances from the air in the room and make it better. I’m not sure how we could compare it with the previous air in our apartment, but our living room looks definitely better now :)
There is something I forgot to write about Portugal. I brought two presents for my dear husband from this country. A little good luck rooster and a white Port wine. Well, the rooster should be black originally, but nowadays it is painted in many different colours. It is symbol of luck and justice when you fight for it and there is an interesting legend connected to one innocent Portuguese man who was released from hanging for crime thanks to a one rooster.
I would like to share my impressions from another country with you. I visited Portugal two weeks ago. I already knew that it is the lovely country as we went to Madeira for our honeymoon, but I found out that there is still so much to explore. My Portuguese friend also recommended me to go to south west coast for beautiful sceneries and relax, to relish sun and Atlantic ocean. So I consider it as a very nice inspiration for a future holiday This time I traveled to Braga for a Serious games conference and I spent several hours in Porto.
The reason why I came to Laval wasinternational conference about virtual and augmented reality with about 200 people. I’m not sure why this event was held in this town, somewhere in the centre of France in very countryside. It was something to think about even for French visitors, at least for those few who spoke to me in english. On the other hand, I wouldn’t probably have other reason to go there, so I suggest it was kind of propagation of this locality.
Finally, I visited Paris, the city considered as a one of the most romantic places in the world or at least in the Europe. Well, I’m sure I don’t need to go there to have a perfect romantic atmosphere, but it is a nice place, worthy of visiting. What I enjoyed the most were trees on each street and loads of small parks everywhere. Typical French buildings with little balconies with metal railings, small cafés with outdoor sections and of course bakeries with fresh baguettes made this town somehow special.
Here are some new videos I made from my application. Enjoy the baby feeding :) Your browser does not support the video tag. Your browser does not support the video tag.
We were somehow tired enough not to go seeing night Zurich on Saturday evening, but I think it must be beautiful. We went there the next day and I really loved the atmosphere of that city. If there wasn’t any snow, I think we are in one of the coastal towns somewhere in Italy (possibly in France, but I’ve never been there). There were many narrow streets and nice colorful buildings with wooden shutters.
After Friday traveling, chatting and walking among lovely Swiss houses in our surroundings, we went to a capital city - Bern. It’s quite small but very cute and there are bears all around :)Well, I mean pictures, symbols and statues in the shape of the bear. There are many nice historical buildings and arched underpasses with small shops everywhere. There are loads of Italian restaurants, shops with chocolate and pralines and of course shops with watches.
