Lemonade in Düsseldorf

The adventures I was talking in the previous post were waiting me in Düsseldorf. I just came back from my trip and I wanted to write down the experience I had.

First challenge: find the train station in the airport. We went to the information desk to ask for directions and the man told us to take the elevator to -1 and from there follow the signs. Guess what.. At -1 was the parking station without any obvious signs to a train station. Good.. Let's go to -2, maybe it's there. Surprise.. No signs, only parking station. Let's try to 0 (we were at 1st floor at the beginning). Finally we saw clear signs to the train station, which was at -1.
Second challenge: train tickets. I've done some research before our arrival and a ticket for 4 trips was the best combination for us. We were very sure we selected the tickets for adults, instead we ended up with tickets for children.
We used twice those tickets on the idea that 4 tickets for children = 2 for adults.
Before moving to the next subject, we travelled twice without tickets. I hope I won't receive at home a ticket for travelling without paying.
The purpose of this trip was to attend Beyonce's concert. It was amazing. I can't believe we really did this. Dear A I'm so glad we went together. I can't think of another person with whom to enjoy this experience.

The show was spectacular. The audience could have been better. I guess it's in their nature to be colder, not so expressive, to hide their real feelings.
About the city and the people, I found them cold, silent, formal. At least the weather was ok, sunny and little bit windy, perfect compared with what's home. 

I don't know if I will go back in Düsseldorf, there is not so much to see.
But who knows what future has prepared for me. 

Küsse!

Croatia: Dreamy Northern Dalmatia

We spent the last days of our holiday exploring the classic Dalmatian cocktail of historic towns, jewel-like waters, rugged limestone mountains, gorgeous climate and Mediterranean cuisine of the Northern Dalmatia. Plitvice Lakes In order to have a full day to spend exploring Plitvice Lakes we stayed overnight in the area. It was so quiet and peaceful there! I wish we could have stayed more days to enjoy that serenity state of the place. Being in some way a remote place it wasn't easy to find a restaurant to have dinner, but when we did it was the best. Cevapi, traditional grilled minced meat with ajvar (roasted red peppers sauce) I don't have a sweet tooth but I enjoy trying local deserts. Traditional strudel with cherries - a touch of chocolate makes this simple desert in a delicacy  Morning coffee with a view Love is in the air! From the accommodation we had 15-20 minutes drive to the Entrance 1 of the park. We have researched which trails to take and the best views are star...

An Unforgettable Journey Through Indonesia: From Volcanoes to Coral Reefs

I have just returned from a 3.5 weeks unforgettable journey through Indonesia, from Jakarta to Bali. Our 3.5 weeks itinerary started in Jakarta , where we stayed for 3 nights . We were a bit dissapointed about the condition of the Indonesian capital, overcrowded and sinking. The highlights of this city were the stunning colonial-era buildings in the Old Town. In retrospective, 1 or 2 nights should have been sufficient, just for landing and continuing the journey towards more fascinating locations. From Jakarta we took the high speed Whoosh train to Bandung . The Woosh train was honestly “whooshazing” – super fast and comfortable! With 350km/h we were in Bandung in 40 minutes. The Grab from the train station to the hotel took longer. Get used with the traffic in Indonesia! While in Bandung we focused more on exploring the nature around. We had one tour to South of Bandung where we visited Kawah Putih crater, tea plantations, Rengganis natural hotspring and an old Dutch railway bridge wi...

Chasing Sunrises and Hidden Falls: An Unforgettable Journey to Mount Bromo and Madakaripura

November 9, 2024: A Long Travel Day and Off to Mount Bromo We woke up again at 5:00 for the sunrise… and once again, it was cloudy! Fortunately, we had to get up early anyway, as today was a big travel day: taxi to the Karimunjawa harbor, boat to Jepara, taxi to Semarang, train to Surabaya, and finally a taxi to the hotel. Luckily, everything went smoothly; we even managed to change our tickets to a cheaper option and arrived earlier. Lunch at Indonesian KFC while waiting for our train Very comfortable seats Trying to eat at the hotel turned out to be less successful: both restaurants were full, so we were directed to a strange spot at the front entrance. There, we had a mediocre meal at relatively high prices (and both Bintang and Coke were sold out—HOW?!). I even looked up how long Bintang stays good—9 months from when we drank it—making it even less excusable that they were out. After a quick one-hour nap, we’re already on our way for an excursion to Mount Bromo! November 10, 2024: ...
