Islands in May - Burano and Murano

   May is one of the best months to visit the few islands. Just before it gets too hot and sticky and humid. All 3 islands are really just a boat ride away from the mainland. And it takes less than half an hour to reach Murano by boat. Not to mention, that the mainland is a place you can not miss at all and like majority of visitors to the islands, you would have come to visit the mainland initially.
   We started our morning by having breakfast and later on lunch as well in Venice, in a lovely restaurant Ristorante Da Alvise, located on the Fondamena Nuove and facing the Northern lagoon. We were not sure about it at first, as the place was almost empty. But by the time we got our first meal coming it was almost full with both locals and the tourists...And when you read further, you will understand that we not only don't regret eating there, but will definitely come back to the same restaurant when we come here again.

A Day in the Life of Ghent - April, 2016

   On one early Sunday morning, we woke up around 6am and decided we would go and spend a day in Belgium. Since my boyfriend says we visit Brugge more often than we visit London, we decided this time it will be Ghent.

   We were greeted by the border patrol in the Channel Tunnel terminal.
