Day 6 - Another sunny day

I woke up and went to the bar from the resort to take a cappuccino. The bartender asked me in Spanish: unos, dos, quatro? In my head: four shots of  espresso are too many, two is ok. What I received: two cappuccino cups :)). The guy was asking how many cups I want.
We went to search for Playa de Las Americas but we found instead Playa de Troya. We saw a parking spot close to the destination and stopped there (it's not easy to find a free spot). Well, the beach we were looking for was 1km away. This one that we found was very crowded. Today was very hot for this time of the year. In the afternoon the sand was very hot. The sea was a little bit agitated. Even so I got one hour to chillax in the sun bath.
From there we went to a thermal spa club nearby. It's not comparable with Therme from home. It's much smaller. What I liked there: a pool with marine salt in which you float, a place where you walk on small stones to massage your feet and toes, Scottish showers and with aromatherapy. In less than a hour I was bored.
Yesterday evening we missed an exit on a roundabout and passed by a mill. Today we came back to try the food. It's a little bit more expensive than the other places around but the food is delicious. I tried some Canarian chicken in mojo (read moho with h cause h is not Ew!) with Canarian potatoes. The potatoes are boiled with peel and served with two sauces: mojo rojo & verde. The red one is with peppers and garlic and the green one is pesto. By the time we left the restaurant it was already twilight.
We drove back to Costa Adeje to check a restaurant with live saxophone music. During the day they have nice view (we went there before), during the night it becomes a luxurious place, the waiters are more helpful, they push your chair to seat down or they help you to get your coat off.
Two days left before going home :(!

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...

Time traveling by steamtram Hoorn - Medemblik

The engine whistles and the fireman shovels coal into the firebox. An adventurous trip to days gone by is about to begin, when steam trams connected ancient towns like Hoorn and Medemblik. Seated in the antique coaches, we listened to the clickety-clack of the wheels, heard the escaping steam and felt the tram move through the timeless Westfrisian countryside. A friend told me about the steam tram rides between Hoorn and Medemblik, and I immediately booked tickets. We were fortunate to catch one of the trips that passes by the tulip fields in bloom. Hoorn Tram station At Hoorn Tram station which is converted in museum we discovered the story of steam trams in Netherlands, covering the 1878 - 1966 period. The Timeline exhibitions takes us back into history. Small objects, film images, photos and documents tell the story about the steam tram in the Netherlands. The common thread is a timeline in which the highlights of Dutch steam tram history are central. We were filled with excitement,...

Croatia: The Magical Istria

After the short stop in Trogir we drove to Pula where booked accommodation for 3 nights to explore the city and surroundings.  The country side on the way to Pula The drive took around 6h with some stops on the way. After we checked in we went directly in the city center for dinner. One speciality I saw it on the menu in the area is grilled squid with Swiss chard and potatoes. I was hesitant with the green leafs because they waiters were saying it's like spinach and I'm not a big fan of it. But this one was really tasty!   Grilled squid with Swiss chard and potatoes @  Kantina Restaurant The next day we went to one beach in Pula in the morning, another beach in Rovinj in the afternoon and stayed for dinner in Rovinj and explored a bit the city center. Hawaii Beach   Hawaii is a pebbly beach, with big rocks but it's worth it! The water is crystal clean and a good spot for snorkeling. It also has some high cliffs that attract the adventurous ones who want to jump ...
