An amazing adventure in Africa!

🦓🦒🦏🐒 Safari in Tanzania 🦁🐘🦛🐆

This was the best trip i have ever had so far! I definitely want to visit more places in Africa! It is an amazing Content with such a beauty!

• Once i landed at the airport of Dar El Salaam i started seeing the differences. It is a city that if i remember well is not the Capital but it seems that it's becoming one. They built new buildings like malls, even a Casino is getting in place. Apart from that, if you drive a little further, you will realize that the development is only a dream about African people. 😞

• I stayed just for one night there and the next day, early in the morning i left for the domestic airport area to take a small plane that landed at the Seronera airstrip in the Serengeti National Park. Seronera airstrip

Tip: The name "Serengeti" is an approximation of the word siringet used by the Maasai people for the area, which means "the place where the land runs on forever".

• Flying over the National Park is a beautiful experience! Once you land in there, an SUV picks you up to take to the lodges!

lodges be like.. 

• As you heading to the lodges you start being a witness to one of the most beautiful views on earth!

The ground was very uneven! 😂

• Serengeti National Park is a World Heritage Site teeming with wildlife: over 2 million ungulates, 4000 lions, 1000 leopard, 550 cheetahs and some 500 bird species inhabit an area close to 15,000 square kilometers in size.

It is where time seems to stand still, despite the thousands of animals constantly on the move!

When the sun goes up, it's getting reaaaally hot! 😅

early morning baths to handle the heat! 🦛

Sunsets in savanna be like...💖

When in Rome...

 My favorite place in the world!

Once i visited for the first time Rome, i promised that i would be going back every few years! It is the atmosphere, the fact that i felt like home, the people, the architecture, it is all of it!

      Let's begin this trip...

•       How to reach Rome

      There are two airports in Rome, Leonardo da Vinci Airport(at Fiumicino)  is used by the major airlines, while Ciampino Airport  is used by budget airlines Easyjet and Ryanair.

•      Where to stay 

       I will not recommend a specific hotel because there are plenty of nice hotels, but i would definitely recommend you to stay in the city center so as to go on foot everywhere!

•    What to see 

      This is going to be a huge list if start counting! But i will give you the top spots so if you plan to go just for 2-3 days you will be able to get the best taste of Rome!

•     Piazza di Spagna
•     Fontana di Trevi
•     Pantheon
•     Altare della Patria
•     Piazza Navona
•     Vatican City
•     Colosseum

  Tip: For all museums but especially  for the Vatican museum, book your tickets online in order to avoid the crazy lines! Trust me , it will save you priceless time!

 

•   Where to eat 

       Well, as in many places in Europe, there are specific times that you can eat in a trattoria! Lunch if i remember is between 14:00 - 17:00 and dinner 20:00 - 23:00. If you want to eat earlier, you will grab something form a cafeteria or in tourist areas you can also find some restaurants but with very good pasta! Remember to book your table in the Trattorias!  

      Piazza di Spagna

Piazza di Spagna ("Spanish Square"), at the bottom of the Spanish Steps, is one of the most famous squares in Rome, Italy. It owes its name to the Palazzo di Spagna, the seat of the Embassy of Spain to the Holy See. 

      Fontana di Trevi

The Trevi Fountain (Italian: Fontana di Trevi) is an 18th-century fountain in the Trevi district in Rome, Italy, designed by Italian architect Nicola Salvi and completed by Giuseppe Pannini and several others. Standing 26.3 metres (86 ft) high and 49.15 metres (161.3 ft) wide, it is the largest Baroque fountain in the city and one of the most famous fountains in the world!!!

      Altare della Patria

The National Monument to Vittorio Emanuele II ,synecdochely called Altare della Patria , is an Italian national monument located in Rome , in Piazza Venezia , on the northern slope of the Campidoglio hill , the work of the architect Giuseppe Sacconi . It is located in the center of ancient Rome and connected to the modern one thanks to roads that radiate out from Piazza Venezia. It is my favorite building!!!

       Piazza Navona

Piazza Navona was transformed into a highly significant example of Baroque Roman architecture and art during the pontificate of Innocent X, whose family palace, the Palazzo Pamphili, faced the piazza. It features important sculptural creations: in the centre stands the famous Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi or Fountain of the Four Rivers by Gian Lorenzo Bernini, topped by the Obelisk of Domitian, brought in pieces from the Circus of Maxentius;the church of Sant'Agnese in Agone by Francesco Borromini, Girolamo Rainaldi, Carlo Rainaldi and others; and the aforementioned Pamphili palace, also by Girolamo Rainaldi, that accommodates the long gallery designed by Borromini and frescoed by Pietro da Cortona.

         Vatican City

Vatican City contains religious and cultural sites such as St. Peter's Basilica, the Sistine Chapel, and the Vatican Museums. They feature some of the world's most famous paintings and sculptures. There is also Castel Sant'Angelo (Castle of the Holy Angel) and the bridge, Ponte Sant’Angelo, a Roman bridge that is considered one of the most beautiful ones in Rome. The castle is now a museum, definitely worth exploring.  

         Colosseum

The Colosseum, Italian: Colosseo  is an elliptical amphitheatre in the centre of the city of Rome, Italy, just east of the Roman Forum. It is the largest ancient amphitheatre ever built, and is still the largest standing amphitheatre in the world, despite its age.

Last but not least, there are a few more tips...

                                         Don'y skip trying the famous "gelato" somewhere in the area! 😋

If there are still some hours of daylight and you wish to relax a bit, head to Villa Borghese, one of Rome’s most romantic public parks. Here you can lie on the grass or go for a stroll and discover its lake and numerous buildings. If you’re traveling with children, they will love this green space.

That's all folks! 💋

DISNEYLAND PARIS!

A small introduction of my first post!

    This trip took place on 2015, when i promised myself that from that time, i would start travelling around the world as much as i can! And so i started with one of my dream places since i was a child, Disneyland, Paris🌟! 

    I know that i was already "old" for that kind of trip (it was my 30's birthday gift to myself🎂🎉) , but since i wasn't able to do it earlier, i said to myself, go for it 👊! And to be honest, i never lost that child that i have in me! 

Now a few words about that place! There are 2 parks, 

the Disneyland Park https://www.disneylandparis.com/en-usd/destinations/disneyland-park/ and 

the Walt Disney Studios Park https://www.disneylandparis.com/en-usd/destinations/walt-disney-studios-park/ .

Every park has a different price and in my opinion, you need one day per park!

In the first park you can find a hotel, small areas to eat and of course roller costers! It is a park for all ages! The waiting lines are of course unbearable, so the smart thing to do, is to take a ticket with prioritize in one roller coster and go to wait in another line until the time comes and visit the one you got the ticket with the specific hour of entrance! 

You also can take breaks in order to watch the parades with characters of all kind of disney movies that take place every hour! You can feel the vibes! 

Last but not least, the better part comes with the closing of the park, at around 23:00 p.m. where an amazing show is taking place with fireworks, so don't miss it!

The second park is more like small Studios where you can enjoy shows with favorite characters like Mickey and there is also one interesting studio where i enjoed the backstage of a Disney movie (the "how was made"). 

There are also a few roller costers and other things to do in that park which to be honest, are better for older people! Try them, you won't regret it!

I didn't take a lot of pictures as you can see, because i was so excited that i couldn't describe it through a photo! 

                                A small taste of the parade that is taking place every one hour!

How to make a movie scene! 

This is my happy face arriving at one of my dream places!

 The most famous castle in Disney is welcoming you!

And of course i couldn't resist taking a picture there!

Mickey Mouse and Minnie (me)! 😂

Having fun like a child! 

"Better to see something once than hear about it a thousand times!"

 And so the adventures began!
