Look at those beautiful blues skies! โ˜€๏ธ What I Look at those beautiful blues skies! โ˜€๏ธ What I love most about the med is the gorgeous bright sky and the stunning architecture ๐Ÿ’™ ๐Ÿ”ธThe facades of these knight era buildings at the Valletta Cruise Port have been meticulously restored. The former warehouses where built in the 18th century, commissioned by Grand Master Pinto โš”๏ธ himself to store a variety of merchant and maritime goods. โ–ซ๏ธThe doors and windows painted in vibrant Mediterranean hues match the colours of the traditional Maltese Luzzu ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡น However, it is said that each colour was used to represent the different categories of items stored such red for wine, yellow for grain, green for veg and so on. ๐Ÿ”น Recently the buildings have taken on a different scope and are now used as shops and catering outlets. The perfect spot for some brunch before heading into the city!
Sunset...such a magical time of day! โ˜€๏ธ A time Sunset...such a magical time of day! โ˜€๏ธ A time to just sit still and witness this amazing wonder ๐Ÿ’ซ This pic was taken a couple of months back, as we were coming out of lock-down. Like many others, I was feeling somewhat anxious wondering what the next couple of months would bring. I made it a point to take some time to reflect to on the past year and how this affected my life for the better. ๐Ÿ’› Now that some time has passed, I am so happy I managed to stick to the subtle changes I made in my day to day, which in turn changed my mindset and way of thinking โœจ ๐Ÿ‘‰ "Positivity Always Wins"
Happy Sunday! โ˜€๏ธ This has to be my favourite Happy Sunday! โ˜€๏ธ This has to be my favourite day of the week. With all the upheaval and change of plans in the last couple of weeks/months/year - Sunday is the day I take some time out to rest and reset. ๐Ÿ’ซ How do you spend your Sunday? ๐Ÿ’™
I can't believe it's already gone mid-August, time I can't believe it's already gone mid-August, time just seems to fly lately! ๐Ÿ™Š Although I absolutely love Summer โ˜€๏ธ I must say I am looking forward to (slightly) cooler days ahead. This season was quite a scorcher with one heatwave after another and temperatures soaring over 40ยฐC๐ŸŒก๏ธat times! ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ On days like this, there is nothing better than taking a swim in the beautiful Mediterranean sea. ๐ŸŒŠ
Are you travelling abroad this Summer or planning Are you travelling abroad this Summer or planning a Staycation? โœˆ๏ธ A little break from the norm does wonders for the soul, especially after the past couple of months when most of the countries were in lockdown. It was so strange to see places that are normally bustling with tourists looking like ghost towns. And such a unique experience to wander the empty streets of these historical sites. ๐Ÿ’™
Apart from brief stop-overs here and there, I firs Apart from brief stop-overs here and there, I first visited Madrid around 10 years ago. โค๏ธ I find that each place in Spain has it own unique characteristics and Madrid by far no exception. ๐Ÿ’ซ It is such a vibrant and bustling city! But my favorite place has to be this peaceful haven, Retiro Park. ๐Ÿƒ
Madrid's Retiro Park is one of my favourite sights Madrid's Retiro Park is one of my favourite sights to visit on every trip. ๐Ÿ’š I find it so relaxing to spend time strolling through this beautiful park. There is generally an exhibition in the Crystal Palace, which is a marvel in itself. ๐Ÿ’ซ This metal and glass structure was built way back in the 19th century, originally used to house tropical plants. ๐Ÿƒ My favorite time to visit is the winter months. Looking forward to our next trip! ๐Ÿคž
Who would imagine what was to come? ๐Ÿ˜ท I took th Who would imagine what was to come? ๐Ÿ˜ท I took this trip to Valencia just before the pandemic struck and I'm so glad I did! โœˆ๏ธ It was an enjoyable stay and the weather was perfect! ๐Ÿ’› We spent the mornings at the food market and shopping. Afternoons strolling along the Turia, popping in and out of the park to explore 'Old Town' and other landmarks. In the evening it was up to a 'terraza' for some Rose'. ๐Ÿท
