Me, Myself and I

Thursday, July 16th, 2009


If I could change the way I live my life today
I wouldn’t change a single thing
Cos if I changed my world into another place
I wouldn’t see your smiling face

I started taking singing classes this week just for fun. I guess that’s a follow up on my famous Beatles performance in 2007 at KLM :) And I discovered I can still read the notes.. Yay! Lucky me!

Another weekend away

cambridge

My observations on Cambridge:
* Cambridge = a real student town
* Cambridge = the Venice of the UK
* Cambridge = very British to me
* Cambridge = a must have been place just because
* Cambridge = a bit too remote for me
* Cambridge = nice in summer, probably sad in winter

Start Of The Weekend

Friday, July 10th, 2009

RadissonSASSo there I am again in the UK. This weekend I am visiting my friend who is staying in Cambridge for the summer period. On my way to my friend I met a girl who was waiting for the same delayed airplane I was. Since we had to pick our own seat with this low cost carrier we sat next to each other and chatted a bit during the flight. At my arrived I managed to visit the hotel with the nice interior design (RadissonSAS, Stansted) and shot some pictures before taking the train all the way to Cambridge. It feels like a holiday since it’s far away from home. Nice. The weekend is about to start…

Time For A Mini-Holiday

Friday, July 3rd, 2009

Rome

I think it is time to take some time for a mini-holiday once again. I have defined a mini-holiday as a weekend away from Friday to Sunday. For my terms it has been some while ago since I went away for a mini-holiday. I think the last time I went out for a whole weekend was the end of April. Exactly one year ago on this day I took the plane to Rome and stayed there over the weekend. This was my second time in this Italian city and it was amazing. I fell in love there again. Great to be back and see all those wonderful old architecture. It was very relaxing to walk around in a city that seems to sleep since holiday season just started. Thinking of the wonderful dinners in the evenings and the delicious ice creams during the day makes me want to go on a city trip again! So what’s on the long list (again) for this year? First of all I need to cross off at least one of those three: Prague, Copenhagen, Lisbon. I am still aiming at visiting all European capitals. However, I think this month I will end up by just visiting my friend in Cambridge – which actually can become a fantastic break as well… By the way, having talked only about city trips, I don’t exclude some days at some beach resort can’t be a mini-holiday. Just surprise me with a good offer and I’m good to go!
