Last November, I took a bus from Toulouse to Barcelona. Amongst the most famous attractions in the city, there are obviously the Sagrada Familia and the park Guëll. But I didn’t just revisit memories, I also tried some new things. While doing my research, I read about the Palau de la música catalana and it looked incredible, so I booked my ticket.
Last stop: Dubrovnik. I wasn’t ready to see this trip end. Croatia had me feeling amazing and ready to conquer the world. Beautiful people from all other the world, stunning parks, ancient cities full of history, great food and drink, nice locals… Wow!
I had a blast in Zagreb and I was really excited to visit Split and the nearby national parks. I felt like making friends was going to be as easy in Split as in the capital. Travelers were all very happy to be there and just wanted to have a good time.
In May 2016, I traveled for the first time to Croatia. I planned a whole solo trip in the country to discover Zagreb, Split and Dubrovnik. I didn’t know anybody there, but it turned out to be far from a lonely journey because even when I was not trying, I was making friends. This was one of my best trip, full of positive energy!
Two hours (by car) from Toulouse, there is a really cool hike to do. You start at the bottom of the mountain and hike to the top of the mountain to discover one or several lakes (depending on your strength and on the time you have. The first lake you get to see is called Lac d’Oô because that’s the name of the village next to it.
Last June, England celebrated the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. Can you imagine? 70 years as a ruler. Can you imagine the UK without the Queen? Well, I was there. Although, I have to admit I was mostly there to see my friend. Still, I enjoyed seeing British people celebrating the Jubilee everywhere! Even on boats! On June 3rd, we traveled to Hampton Court to do a boat trip on the Thames.
Originally, I had planned to visit the Cinque Terre until Friday, but given our fast pace and the amazing weather, Anthéa and I had hiked to the last village, Riomaggiore, on Thursday. That meant that I had one bonus day in Liguria. The idea? Going to La Spezia by train, visit the city and the go on a boat trip to see the villages from another point of view.
Have you ever heard about the Cinque Terre? About Corniglia, Vernazza, Manarola, Riomaggiore and Monterosso? These 5 villages are connected to one another through sinuous paths. You can travel by boat or train to visit them, or even better, you can hike!
Guys, I finally made it!!! After failing three times to go to Liguria’s jewel, I got to realize my dream. The first time, my friends bailed on me, the second time, a storm flooded the paths and the third time, well, Covid happened. So this time, I wasn’t sure of anything and I didn’t get my hopes up.
