La Vita e Bella

Pantheon

I am running out of time to update as I am in between work and events and having time to do laundry and pack bags and trying not to forget anything.... Crazy! But I am uploading some images of my trip to Roma...as a summary is a bit to time consuming to type right now...I just realized I am visiting cities this month that are all in the Da Vinci Code; Rome, Vatican City, Paris & London! How apropriate I will have to watch the movie in May eh!?

Anyway, back to Rome; It was a beautiful 5 days, with excellent weather and my mother & I saw some great buildings, sights, and views. See some of the shots I have taken. Its an amzing city and my mother had a great time too, despite being robbed and not feeling too well on the last day. After a 5 hour visit to the hospital she was still capable of travelling to the Vatican to buy 20 rosaries!! So it was an eventful trip but more importantly an unbelievable amazing trip!
Peace all, in Paris this weekend, spending Queens day in the French capitol with my friend from Holland, Deborah!

Happy Easter

I am whirlwinding my weeks in April at the moment! I finally moved to my new department last week and its been very busy learning and training so far. On Thursday I went to London as one of my friends from Australia had arrived. Together with some other friends we all went out and clubbing... Its been ages since I went dancing, esp on a Thursday night but it was cool! The RedBull kicked in and I was dancing, and enjoying myself! Couldnt sleep when we finally did leave and go to bed... Next day had a breakfast with Chloe and then jumped on the Piccadilly line to get to Heathrow airport and on the plane back home to Holland. Got my hair cut so far, and will be seeing some family (grandmother, brothers, nephew etc)and friends before my mum and I head of to Rome. Been taking lots of photos so far, and will share when I have the opportunity.


Happy Easter everyone!

PS: what you think of my new bank card!?!??!

Back in action



After a rather long winter, I am back in travelling mode! This weekend I was in Dublin, visiting some of my friends, and admiring the kids they had in the 3 years since I last visited. Weather was unpredictable as always,.... including hail and having to take cover in first Brown Thomas, then Trinity College and then a Temple bar pub..... Which was a nice refuge except for the unbelievable price of an alcoholic drink!

Almost felt like some things had never changed, felt very at home, and wonderful to catch up on life, and go to a play in which one of my friends had a big lead! Never had seen Fiddler on the Roof before, but was amazed by the pretty songs and the performances at the Gaiety Theatre!
