A weekend trip to Berlin

I know most of the photos are cliché but it was my first time in Berlin and I had a blast. Me and two colleagues were actually there for the ITB Tourism Fair but we managed to finish our appointments in time and had like two full days & nights to wander around and detox our systems with pure beer. I wish we had some electronic music therapy too but we ran out of money too soon, thanks to the strike at both Berlin airports and expensive last minute tickets. I will definitely visit again this fantastic place.

Another weekend in Durres

Some sea snail shells, a naked woman statue and a strange playground where a ship ran ashore and couldn’t go back to sea. It’s the Kompleksi Teuta one. The strange gray metallic wall on the right is actually part of the ship and the hull has sunk in the sand at almost ground level.

The season is starting so get ready beforehand to visit our beautiful country, the land of contradictions.

A friendly reminder, you’ll find us on AirBnb and at our website http://ift.tt/2myfIWx

 

Good morning from Durres

At approximately 8 o clock, a peaceful morning, a cold breeze and a warm sunshine caressing our faces. I wish I had my running shoes but still, I was late for work. It will be for another time I guess.

So, what you see here is the Durres beach, as seen from Apollonia beach, a small section of the long seashore. The structure on the sea surface used to be  a restaurant but nowadays only the platform remain, the restaurant is long gone. The hills on the background are part of Rock of Kavaja, a small rocky hill by the highway.

As you can see, the beach is perfect foo jogging and the sea is ideal for families with kids since the water is shallow. If you’re thinking of visiting Durres, check my rental apartment here. If you’re from the future and wish to pay in bitcoins, let me know, I’ll be happy to welcome you.

A squirrel in the wild

First time I see a squirrel in the wild, in my country. Although I was born in a city, I’ve been many times in small forests but never been able to encounter one. I also lived in Athens, and even there are no squirrels around in urban areas. On the opposite, in London for example, plenty of squirrels, foxes and other wild animals around, in parks or in house gardens. Well, I feel lucky I saw and was able to take a photo of this little fella.

Snowing in Tirana

It snowed in Tirana, a rare sight although Dajti mountain next to us is yearly dressed in white. It started snowing the night before and it melted in the afternoon. For as long as it lasted, everyone got a blast.
