Caribu sana again !!! This was our first National park and safari in the jeep with open roof. I really loved it. I was all the time standing up in order to see the magnificence of this nature. I felt like a communion deep in me. We were eager to see zebras, elephants, lions, girage, monkeys and more, and we did !!!! I also loved the colors of various greens, the hugeness of the sky, the color of the earth, red, marron, dark red..... We went to our first massai cow market !!! They wanted to sell us and make on measure shoes made of old goodyear tire !!! We should have done it! In fact it's very practical. The adventure continues next.......Hakunamatata !! Ahsanti sana ... read more

I am getting prepared for my trip in Tanzania. I don't realise it and must admit I am a bit tensed. I got all my injections (Hepatitis, Typhoide, Yellow fever). I am about to buy all the possible medicine and the treatment against paludism( malaria), need to treat all my clothes agains the mosquitos. I even don't know if I will be able to clean myself, it seems we need to buy organic paper, take our toilet paper, some "biodegradable" cleaning set. I read there were huge spiders in some of the blogs and the most terrible things, the scorpios....... However I saw lots of more than wonderful photos and I am sure that I will live one of my nicest trips in my life. what a discovery !!! I prepared lots of battery for my ... read more

My first trip to China was somewhat magical !! I had the opportunity to visit the Great wall, a jade factory, a silk factory and the Ming Thumbs. In the hotel, I had two foot massages and I even fell asleep, so good, even gorgeous !!! Then I flew to Shanghai to visit 2 key Universities and staid the whole Saturday so I could visit the old town. Amazing so many people, so much noise. Therefore I appreciated the zen garden and sat down just to empty my head and look at the beautiful trees.... read more

This is THE place which is part of my soul and blood!! Here any traveller I know who came found it not only wonderful, but magical. I like meditating, walking with my dog, sit on the rocks on the beach, sit in the yoga posture and look at the sea, the sky, the green trees and get re energised. There is no time, no clock, just the nature connection. Have a look at the photos... read more
