Trip to Maastricht

Participants: Laurie (Quebec) and Katarinka (Slovakia)

Maastricht seems to be really agreeable city. Maybe one of the oldest one in Holland? Laurie told me that they are arguing about this status with Utrecht.
...river reminding me on Danube in Bratislava...



...museums and ramparts from the past...

...small center...


...cat observing the dog...

...green parcs full of swans and ducks...


...and romantic sunset over the panorama of the city... :-)

Trip to Rotterdam

Participants: Jana (Slovakia), Laurie (Quebec), Jar*(Slovakia), Katarinka (Slovakia)


From my point of view, this
seems to be really modern city with many new buildings and modern bridges.


We did not have opportunity to see many coffee shops, but this was just probably due to the fact that we stayed mainly in the center.

We visited immigrants quarter just for a while, but it was amazing to observe differences between those parts of the city. Here mostly black, Chinese orIndian people where walking around. Even the assortment in shops was different – more exotic vegetables and fruits and food in general. Interesting ;-)
Jana: "Waw, interesting statue... it has everything that a man should have ..." :-))))

Yes, I agree, it is much better not to have EVERYTHING we desire...

Different point of view :-)

PS: Hanna has bought this postcard in Berlin, I love this original point of view :-)

Trip to Berlin

One day I got email from Cedric asking if anybody wanted to join him for a Berlin trip. I decided immediatly, wrote him back that I was in :-)) It seemed to be a bit crazy trip. Leaving at 3am on Saturday morning from Luxembourg and coming back at 3am on Monday. But it was worth it :-))

Firstly, the weather was perfect. No rain, just sun and blue sky.

Secondly, the company was perfect. Cedric, his friend from univesity – Laurence, Hanna and me. I felt so comfortable with all of them, it was really unbelievable. It happens sometimes that you even do not realise why and you feel this special peace inside.

Thirdly, the city is very interesting. I had such a weird feeling while looking at and touching the rests of Berlin Wall. Finally, I learned more about its history. Even in the city there is some kind of special atmosphere, you can feel it everywhere.

But what was really surprising that there were not so many people. If I remember well, the most of big European cities are so much crowded. Actually, this is not the case of Berlin.

To sum it up, just PERFECT weekend :-))

Berlin Wall

Lo imposible solo tarda un poco mas...
