Summer is over
| Posted in Germany | Posted on Saturday, August 07, 2010
Life is getting back to normal mode. Summer is over, work has started and so is planning for future. The last few weeks of July was dedicated to relaxing. I started my vacation by heading to Finland for a few days. First to Turku for Turku Modern festival and cruising in the Turku Archipelago in a party boat. The scenery there is beautiful and the people on the boat fully charged in dancing.
After Turku it was time for my brothers kids christening. It was actually the first time I meet the new born and he really was an angel. No crying, no nothing, just peaceful little kid. The day was just perfect! Sun was shining and the closest family gathered in my parents garden. The kid got a very good name: Miro Daniel!
Time in Helsinki continued for few more days. Sun was shining and we took couple of bike tours around the city. I had a chance to see quite a few of my friends and enjoy the Finnish summer. That didn't continue so long since we headed to Spain for a week.
Andalusia tour started in Malaga. After an extremely long flight (due to some strike in France) we got to our hotel and headed out to see what kind of place Malaga was. It was a nice small place that offered a good starting point for our tour. Some walking around the city center and some tapas and sangria to get us on the holiday mood works pretty well. Our full tour consisted of Malaga, Marbella, Gibraltar, Tarifa, Los Canos de Meca and Sevilla. Hopping from one city to another almost every day by car. Los Canos de Meca was the only place we staid for longer and it was worth it. Other places were a bit touristic but still nice. Good food and lots of sunshine with the best company ever got my mind of all daily things.
We started heading back from Spain on Wednesday and stopped over in Berlin for the rest of the week. Partying a bit, spending time with our friends and having late breakfasts. I think the best bit on this trip was the Spreepark in Treptower park. An old entertainment park that was abandoned some 10 years ago but never cleaned. Old rides were still there although on a restricted area so we had to be a bit careful not to get caught - exiting isn't it? :)
Returning from a perfect holiday with my lovely girlfriend to the daily business in Düsseldorf has been a bit rough. I'm still trying to find the motivation to do my work and I'm wondering why I'm not living under the same roof with Maija. Time with her is always so good. Perhaps the only way to get trough the autumn is to start planning my next steps.
