Adventures in travel

 

 

 

 

 

Hey guys,

I hope everyone had a great weekend. I did, had an amazing Saturday night with friends. I made the snickers bars ( posted the recipe last friday). Very yummy but very messy so I didn´t take any photos. We put them in the freezer and they turned into tasty snickers ice cream bars.

I have a crazy week of school work ahead of me, a lot to do and very little time.  Still there is light at the end of the tunnel, I am very excited about my trip to Ireland next march! Just booked the hostel last week and I couldn´t be more excited! It´s been a while since I´ve been somewhere new and I love travelling above everything else in life, especially when I get to visit a new country.

This is extra exciting for me because I have dreamt of going to Ireland for some time now.

Threw in some travel themed photos I´ve collected from here and there throughout the web.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Where do you dream of going?

Have a great week!

Copenhagen

 Hey guys,

I took a little trip to Denmark earlier this month  to visit some friends. It was nice to be able to get away (even if it was just a long weekend) after a jam packed summer full of work. I was travelling with another friend and we had a lot of fun checking out the nightlife, eating good food and of course, shopping! I finally managed to upload the pictures (silly me, I lost the camera cable and only after buying a card reader I discovered that my laptop has a built in card reader.... oh well) and you can expect more photo posts in the near future.

 

Took this photo on the first night. A library in downtown Copenhagen

Yep that´s me, burgundy overload lady. I can see a theme here: burgundy and blue

Downtown

 

 

On the last day we visited Torvehallerne, which is a big indoor market with food (my heaven), all kinds of handmade products like candles and soaps. A wonderful way to end the trip as I know nothing better than on a weekend than a food market/farmer´s market.

That´s one of the reasons I love visiting my family in France: every weekend there is a farmer´s market.

 

 

Florist

 

There was a small cupcake bakery/café with beautiful cupcakes in all kinds of flavours.

 

 

Dried fruit and nut

 

 

This booth sold french confections - my favourite being their cellophane wrapped wedges of nougat, in different kinds of flavours.

 

Charcuterie - this guy was selling salami, patés and various meat products

 

 

 

My favourite booth - they had a lot of french cheeses that you can´t find in Iceland ( No un pasteurized cheeses allowed into the country) 

 

A gourmet cheese stand

 

 

I had such a wonderful time, and I only wish I could have stayed longer and taken more pictures.

My camera memory chip filled up with pictures and unfortunatly I didn´t have a backup.

Copenhagen is a wonderful place to visit, there is so much going on there and many exciting places to see.

I  will post my favourite places in Copenhagen soon!
