Mood of the day



Have you ever felt that?

#flashbackfriday

In 1 day it will be a year from my London summer.

I miss it sooo bad it hurts! I have so many memories of it..good, bad, happy, sad, angry, crazy, funny, drunk, drunk oh and DRUNK! Hahahah

I loved it!!

On Instagram today is #flashbackfriday , so I thought it would be a good idea to share with you some of my London photo memories!!

I won't include any pictures of the people I met there...I don't really know why but somehow the idea of sharing their pics on a flashback post, hurts a bit (hmm my therapist would find that interesting!).

So..are you ready?!

Let the flashback begin!

The office




London

When I arrived in London, I hated my room! But then I saw my room number and I thought "Hmm maybe it's a sign that I should stay.." (My name starts from A and my birth date is 28! Ha!) (After a week I loved my petite, dirty room <3 )




The tea



The alcohol
Pimm's!!!
The food! Aka how I gained 10kg in 2 months.
The parks
V&A Museum. My favorite London museum! (I wasn't allowed to take this picture but I hadn't seen the sing so..there you go! Enjoy!)
Room view

Lenny. A regular visitor at the office..

The musicals!

The Olympics and Team GB

My after work strolls around the neighborhood

A&A

I hope you enjoyed my London photo memories and if you ever visit London I hope you have a great time!

As for me, I have to admit...this was a hard post...

Talking about a maaajor flashback Friday..!

Love,

A kiss and a hug

Sometimes you feel the need to write about something but you don't know exactly about what.

All of a sudden you feel emotional. But you don't know why.
All of a sudden you feel vulnerable. But you don't know why.
All of a sudden you feel insecure and you just don't know why.

But you know what you need to comfort you.
You need a kiss and a hug from that special someone that you love and who loves you back.

It might be a family member.
It might be a friend.
It might be a lover, but hopefully it will just be yourself.


Road trip Italiano

Couple days ago I came back from my last trip abroad. This time was Italy. It  is the fourth time I am lucky enough to visit this beautiful country!

I went with two of my cousins, John and Elena. We took John's car and traveled by ship from Patra's port. It was a long, long 25 hours looong trip with plenty of food and sleep. These two helped us soo much!! I hate traveling by ship but thank God it wasn't as bad as I expected.

This was a special trip - of every trip is special - because we've been planning it ever since Elena came back from Italy 3-4 years ago. She went there for the first time for studies and during her last 5 years there of her 10 years total stay she was in a relationship with an Italian.

They used to live together and when she left, she couldn't take all of her stuff with her, so he kept them for her until she would go back to pick them up. I know what you are thinking.."why didn't she mail them back to Greece?"..honestly I don't remember. But hey, it's fine by me! We got to the trip after all!!

We visited the north of Italy. Our first stop was the city where Elena went to university, the beautiful, medieval city of Urbino which introduced me to the most memorable and orgasmic gnocchi evah!!

Urbino - Room view

The streets of Urbino really travel you to another era..

Gnocchi with something else which I don't remember because I was in looove with the homemade gnocchi!! (Sorry guys for the bad quality of the pic but trust me the food was aaamaaziing!)


You haven't been to Italy if you haven't eaten gelato! This flavor was Raffaello - coconut with pieces of white chocolate - miam!

Up, up, up! Walking up this street is the best work out evah!



Breakfast time


Urbino is more like a village actually, a very small town where you get to bump into the same people. What I loved the most there, where the mornings when the old men gathered around in the main piazza talking loud, teasing each other, laughing and using so many hand gestures while well dressed Italian men and women, old and young were passing by!

Soo lovely Italian!


next stop Bologna & Ferrara...
