They're back!

The regular international long-distance coaches are back. Let's go on a trip! Venice, Berlin, Amsterdam, Budapest or Bucharest???
 

4204

 

No, it's not post 4204 (1748)... That's a street number in Venice. But no venitian street is that long... So, what the f..k??? Want to know more? Click here. And good luck with finding your hotel in Venice! LOL

A four-eyed Monday Mural

You can surely guess where I took this photo and what it represents... Come on, it's easy! Although I don't know about her 4 eyes.

More Monday Murals right...here
 

Rainy "summer" day

What a strange summer we're having.
 

Een weekend reflectie

At the Stedelijk (aka municipal) Museum in Amsterdam. More weekend reflections here
 

Weekend in black and white

Yet another photo from what is for me paradise. And more b&w here. I usually don't this, but here is the original photo in color:

 

Natural art

Beautiful weathered old door
 

Somewhere...

Looking foe a secret garden
 

The Florence offices

Italian: gli Uffizi. What was built as an office building for florentine magistrates, is now one of the world's most famous museums. Wish I was there, as I did not see everything (too big, not enough time).  And to have a caffé!
 

Let the music play

Inside mural, in an Amsterdam hostel. More Monday Murals right...here
 

What size are you?

Alternatively, you can probably use one as a tent... No fat-shaming meant!
 

Are you looking at me???

 

Once upon a time...

Pre-covid, waiting for an early flight in Dubrovnik airport...

More b&w right HERE, and more reflections right THERE. CLICK!
 

Chicks

The first time I ever saw baby peacocks.

 

Ready

 

Podgorica

The international coach station in Podgorica, Crna Gora. Crna Gora, country better known as Montenegro, one of the very few European countries where you get stamps on your passport. Missing my old passports full of colorful stamps, sigh. 

A Monday Mural

Scary. The thing is wearing an old Venitian medical mask, used during the black death.

More, hopefully less scary, murals here.
 

?

No idea what this is about... Tirana, Albania. 
 

A weekend reflection

More weekend reflections here.
 

Weekend kisses in black and white

A lipstick shop...Glossy lips. More b&w here, as usual.
 

Something for (almost) everybody

 

Water, bubbles and a few tourists

An old photo... No bubbles today, very few tourists, but a lot of water, as we have the wettest summer in 60 years. Non-stop rain.
 

20, and a laugh

 

Paper mural

Looks like Mexican fighter masks. 

More Monday Murals here.
 

August theme day: sticky

 

Painting with a sticky... Wash the sticky sticky, or it might stay...sticky! More sticky photos here.

Lisa Belle

Nice boat... Probably a word play, L'Isabelle, the Isabelle.
 

A black and white weekend reflection

The building is the Médiathèque André Malraux, our huge central public library, named after a famous french writer and former culture minister.

More b&w here, and more weekend reflections here. And sorry for not browsing your blogs, as I'm having some extremely busy and tiring weeks.
 

Bassin d'Austerlitz

What was once and an international dock, boats from France, Switzerland, Germany, Belgium, the Netherland, England and the northern countries, complete with shipyard, is no a recreation area, with music school, a mall, a public library, a beach in summer, many restaurants, a huge cinema...
 

Quiet day...

... at the Bassin d'Austerlitz. Not a muskrat in sight.
 

I want to ride my...

 

Whazzzzuuuupp???

Hey how ya doin' on this grey Monday?

More Monday Murals at Sami's
 

A weekend reflection

Waiting for a delayed airplane... again.

More weekend reflections right... here
 

Needs a trim...

Whatever this thing is...

More b&w here
 

Australian Pig Face

AKA pig face, beach banana, karkalla, sea fig... Carpobrotus rossii in latin, a native from western and southern  Australia. Question for my aussie friends wintering down under: pig face, really???
 

Life is a beach

 

Vamos a la playa! Πηγαίνουμε στην παραλία!

Finally reaching a goal.
 

Bougainvillea

A flower named after the french admiral Louis Antoine de Bougainville, an interesting guy. Have a look!
 

Kanoni

Right at the end of Corfu airport, the Vlacherna monastery on the Kanoni peninsula. The monks left in 1980, too many tourists probably, and far too noisy. I went there early. When I left, around 10 AM, I counted a dozen tour busses, a few hundreds unmasked Italians... Not good.
 

The shoe shop...

... at number 39
 

A weekend reflection

Colored mirrors next to the cathedral. More weekend reflections right... here.
 

Weekend in black and white

I was recently welcomed to my hotel room by this strange looking...watchacallit? Any name suggestion welcome! Octopus dismantled? Quartered?

More b&w here.
 

Feed me, human!

All my bowls are empty!!!
 

Just some driftwood

 

The love channel

In Sidari, 40 km north of Corfu town, you can find true love... According to the legend, anyway. The beach is called Canal d'Amour, in French (I couldn't find out why). More about it here.
 

A Greek/Russian Monday mural. Cheers!

 Well, I went to Greece last week, once again. The island of Corfu. And this is the only mural I could find, in an ocean of graffiti. Does not look very Greek, does it...

More Monday Murals here. Cheers, comrades! Nazdarovya!

Coffee

A weekend reflection

An evening in Corfu.

More weekend reflections here.
 

Weekend in black and white

I needed a break, I needed a trip to Greece. So, one week in Corfu, without a computer! I am fully vaccinated! 

As I tend to avoid tourist hotspots, I always go to the backstreets. One of the gems I found there.

Are you ready...

... for a sponge bath? But don't get fooled by "delicatessen": do not, I repeat: do NOT eat them!!! ;-)
