Rhodes Trip

It was my friend's birthday and one Bank Holiday in our Diary.  We decided to fly to Rhodes...

Thanks to my friend and her searching skills we had perfectly organized trip - half  all inclusive and half the gypsy style:). 

Prasonisi heaven

We were driving to the most southern part of the Island. Prasonisi was the place which we wanted to reach - with two bays and two seas! It was probably one of the most impressive parts of the island.

It was beautiful to watch these windsurfer and waves itself. However, it was very windy. 

Greek Hospitality

This is what I always like about the Greece, it is the hospitality. It is something special about Greek people and the way how they interact with you. The meal has even better taste with the human touch and jokes they make. ,, Everything and nothing,, became slogan of this trip:).

The top highlight was night skinny dipping in the sea....I still remember this beautiful moon:).

Easter in Moscow

What could be better than spending a few hours in the traffic jam while travelling for Easter to see your family. This what we decided to do  - go to Moscow!

Luckily we had very early morning flight from Vienna which guaranteed the arrival at 4 am to Moscow. This means nothing opened apart from the MC Donald's. Our early experience was getting lost in the Tube and heading direction away from the city center and central station (and this happened because I pretended to be able to read the signs). I still remember these Russian faces, tired, sitting or standing on the train, getting ready for the work and not talking. But who cares it was 5 am in the morning....

Apart from having a weird feeling from the city, huge and smoggy, we managed to stay at the nice neighborhood in the Hotel California. ...and our culinary trip started every morning in a French Bistro where we enjoyed nice teas and tasty morning dishes. Then, thanks to our Russian friends we could taste typical Russian meals as well as Easter traditional sweets. Also, since cultures are quit mixed there, we had to taste also Georgian food which was very delicious. 

...well, we found our way of enjoying this city...

Couple of times during our trip we landed at the Red Square which you can see also from the roof of the Ritz Hotel. It is easily accessible, you just get into the lift and go to the top floor of the Hotel. We were lucky to join some private party, but I guess it was only a good luck:)

Four amazing days in Dubai

It was my birthday and I promised myself a nice trip to a warm country. Dubai was a perfect place to spend time with friends and not sacrificing days off from the work. So we went for a longer weekend, coming back with the feeling that instead of four days we were there one month. We had no plans of course before our trip, we decided to take it easy.....

Our daily schedule was visiting nice beach clubs, suntanning and tasting various not European dishes....Starting with this list of infinitive pools in Dubai, continuing with the night life in various clubs. We did shopping in Dubai Mall which was very fascinating because we could shop till 3 am.

During the evenings we had nice dinners in Lebanese restaurants or in Burj Kalifa with an astonishing view. I cannot forget the most ridiculous night in Cavalli Club where we could not get in because of flat shoes (of course ladies must be dressed with high-hills). However, lady with the Russian accent got us in - by telling us to wait a while at the corner...anyway it was nice to see such a club, but I would not come there again:).

Dubai was a great choice to celebrate my birthday, get out of the work for couple of days. I would definitely come back to this city. From Europe it takes only few hours and it can easily become a weekend destination for Europeans. I was told by people that food is not cheap, however I had a feeling that it was ok as well as taxis are not expensive as well. One more thing you have to watch out...Do not trust any information you get, everything was different compared to what locals told us:) By this, I mean taxi drivers or hotel staff:).
