Sestriere ... más nieve !

Esta semana al año con mis amigos, es algo q no se paga con dinero ... ahora es tarde, ya escribiré más otro día!

Después de esquiar durante todo el día una semana acabas hasta los "guebs". Menos mal que Natalia no perdió su cámara ... si, si, yo perdí la mía en una pista, no sé donde, en fins. Ahora tengo una nueva que espero me dure muchos años.

Deberíamos haber sacado fotos por la noche, simplemente para tener un recuerdo de esos personajes autóctonos :) ... "por las calles de Malasaña, tocando palmas, tocando palmas, pensando en ti" eran las marivollas letras del amigo de Natalia :) y vaya garito de "discoteque" pensaba que estábamos en un revival de los 80, en un regreso al pasado ... y menos mal que al ser españoles debíamos de tener un trato especial.

Las pistas y los paisajes alucinantes. Eso si, todo es caro, caro, carísimo!

El resto de las fotos en (charlie!! las tuyas!!):

Rumania

Viaje de trabajo.

Tres días en Bucarest.

Lo peor, las 2 horas en taxi desde el aeropuerto hasta el hotel (vale, estaba en el centro).

Lo mejor, demasiado corto el viaje para encontrar algo bueno, así que habrá que volver, siempre quise ir a los Cárpatos, visitar los fortalezas y castillos en las montañas.

Croatia !! light after the dark

yes...what you are looking in the picture is a real one !!! no photoshop !!! :)) This is the Plitvice Lakes national park.

i started in Zagreb, and it was not so easy to find a suitable place to stay and economical at same time. Indeed, Zagreb is nice but expensive!!
Walking around the city center you can find all the terraces in the streets, some relax, coffee, beers, and having great time sitting in the sofa outside watching the people walking.
Train, is the best way to move in Zagreb, single ticket is 6,5 kn (0,9 eur), but there are very few inspectors.

Don't miss the cathedral (no shorts! or t-shirts), ice-cream in Vincek, market, history museum, and just walk around.

Plitvice Lakes National Park, and it was granted UNESCO World Heritage. It is an amazing place with lakes, forest, nature, animals and ... waterfalls !

Entrance is 110kn, and it is possible to walk all around the park in 1 day, using also the boats. Strongly recommend to go Veliki waterfall, which is the highest with 70m (you need to climb through stairs ...)

And what about Dubrovnik. Actually is pretty touristic city...full of tourist in the summer time (but may is fine).

You will find out how many restaurants are in the old city (enter from Pile door, until Ploce), this take it out some charm ... but all places are really nice to have a romantic dinner or just enjoy fried fish while you are listening live music. I suggest the Amorat restaurant to taste a rissoto with seafood!
You will find the maps with the bombs impacts in every door of the wall. Furthermore, you will see the different roofs colours, for those destroyed by the bombs during the war on the 90's.

If you want to stay, i recommend you the Begovic pension (150kn/night)
The best places are the coves where you can swim in the Adriatic ... awesome!
Take one day to walk all around Dubrovnik discovering new places

so, just enjoy, take your time, meet people

Skiing in the Alps

It was awesome !!! can you imagine how peaceful was there, how beautiful was the landscape

We arrived there on sunday in a really small village in the middle of the Alps. Just a market, ski shop, and one bar (closing at 22:30!! that is not the spanish schedule !)

First days, we thought it would be impossible ski, but finally the more high we went the more snow we found !!

At the end of the week, we spent so wonderful time and for sure we will be back there next year

Hopefuly you will have the chance to go there ! i strongly recommend you to go !!!
