Eataly

Last week was the last free week before I start my internship (during which I will probably not get any free weeks) and will be stuck in work all the time. Of course I had to make use of this. and what better way to do this than to visit my friend Sara in Italy. Two other friends from England appeared to have the same week off as well so it became one big reunion. Most of which we spend eating, watching movies, drinking coffee and just hanging out. It was great. On one of the days we actually decided to be active and we did a road trip to Rome. Yes, the Trevi Fountain has done its work last summer! We were really lucky with the weather and it was very sunny for most of the day. Of course I tossed another coin in the Trevi fountain to secure my next return to this lovely city. We saw most of the landmarks in top speed again and of course there had to be some gelato. 
What a good good week it was.

Except for that moment my phone broke down on the last day and could not be fixed. And when I was stuck at the airport for hours but my Luxembourgish card was not working there and I could not even buy a coffee. Jep, back to reality. 

XOXO

Paris, je t'aime!

Last week I finally went for a real trip to Paris. before I had only been a day and I barely seen anything because I was too busy being a teenager and wanting to shop and walk around without my parents (I was 15, what do you want?).
But this time I had a first-class local as my tour guide and  three full days to wander around. I cannot think of a better way for sight seeing than this. I saw all the nice landmarks and walked some lovely routes. I ate many macaroons, croissants and crepes. I had a 19 euro glass of wine at the panoramic sky bar (seriously the best view EVER!) and I went for cocktails in a bar called the Latin Corner, where the male waiters wore nothing but shorts and a nice six pack.
I had such an amazing time and I cannot wait to come back in spring to see the parks in all of their glory and create more epic memories. I found out I do love Paris indeed.

XOXO

Jep, I had to do this.





We're in a pic with Bach!


Best view ever!

Such a quite tradition. Couples come here to write their names on locks hang hang them on this bridge as a promise.

unfortunately this did not taste as epic as it looks.

Made of chocolate. I desperately wanted to take a bite.

It is a lot smaller than in the movie..
