A DAY IN PARIS

 

Girlie Lunch at KONG 

 

Me and my fabulous girlfriends spent a lovely day in Paris...well just because we could. I mean a 2.5 hour journey on the Eurostar and we're in Paris, just like that!! It felt great to get out of London for the day and go and explore another city. I've been to Paris once before but it was the first time for my friend so we set out early to make sure we could squeeze in all the tourist attractions on our list.

We started at the Eiffel Tower, the day was pretty miserable with wind and rain so we were only allowed up on the second floor. We visited the Arc de Triomphe and completed our morning with a tasty lunch at KONG known for its Toyko// futuristic theme. The food menu is a little bit on the expensive side but it's worth it for a one off lunch with the exquisite décor and view! A few cosmopolitans didn't go a miss either ;)

After a hearty lunch we walked to the Notre Dame. I could literally sit there for hours admiring the architecture and listening to the hum of people whispering and shuffle of their feet. I felt a sort of mellowness sitting alongside one another in the cathedral, a time to reflect and un-wind. 

After forcing ourselves out of there we stopped in for a quick hot chocolate to warm ourselves up from the wet and cold conditions outside. We made our way onto the Lourve Pyramids to get the famous picture before taking a rather adventurous ride on a tuk tuk through the City to then catching the last train home :)

 

I need more days like this <3

Sun Down in Greece

On a Sunday night in Greece whilst getting ready, the sun was setting low in the sky and it cast the most beautiful colours and shapes across the horizon. I couldn't pass up this picture opportunity so I set off (in my pyjama's) on my own with my camera to explore the grounds and found the most incredible setting to watch the sun go down. I thank whoever positioned the bench in that spot, they too were obviously aware of the breath-taking view that occurred every single evening there. From then on, I kept noticing in different places, a random bench would just sit. (Also like in my previous post) You can just stop for a second and really appreciate the spectacular views. Very romantic. I love that. 

I made sure to make it back there every evening to watch the sun down...

Chalkidiki : Greece Part 2

Byzantine tower, Nea Fokea

In my pictures I really wanted to capture Chalkidiki and how unspoiled it is; very much like Kefalonia when I went in the summer. It holds a lot of authenticity and character which is what I love. Outside of our resort, everything is very natural, nothing has been knocked down and developed onto to attract visitors and tourists. While it is all very nice to sit down in a new built glamorous location looking out onto a picturesque view, it is still really interesting to take yourself away from all of that and see these untouched places to wonder and learn about the history and experience the real Greek lifestyle. 

On a day that it was overcast, we dragged ourselves away from the pool and decided to do a bit of sight seeing and visited the Byzantine Tower.
