That Monday

when the apple became pineapple

Phuket, a personal choice

Ca-n fiecare an, Phuketul ne face sa-l vizitam cate cel putin 4-5 zile. Avem cateva restaurante la care ardem de nerabdare sa mancam de fiecare data, o strada plina ochi cu masaje de calitate si niste clatite de-ti ploua in gura numai cand te gandesti la ele. Ah, si o inghetata “tocata” de l-ar face gelos pana si pe turcul din Centrul Vechi si niste pancakes a la Ella Bistro de-ti dau dependenta 🙂 Plaja nu e cine stie, apa nu e nici ea prea rasarita dar cand ai langa tine o papaya delicioasa langa o nuca de cocos proaspat taiata, altfel vezi lucrurile. Unde mai pui ca daca te plictisesti iei repede tuk tuk-ul si te duci mai spre nord pe Laem Singh Beach si daca esti mai curajos din fire, iti inchiriezi un scuter si faci beach hopping toata ziua.
Patong-ul este aglomerat zi si noapte si poate parea sufocant la prima vedere iar zonele unde poti sta linistit le numeri pe degete.Nu prea are faleza. E scump. E cald. E galagios. Dar, ti-am spus, e guilty pleasure-ul nostru si n-am incotro, sunt subiectiva 🙂

De-a lungul timpului cred ca am fost in toate excursiile in care te poti duce din Phuket, incepand cu James Bond Island, continuand cu Khao Lak si terminand cu Similans. Singura, insa, care mi-a ramas la inima a fost cea din urma. Ai ceva de mers pana in Similans dar merita cu varf si-ndesat mai ales daca vii si-n perioada in care le poti vizita. Nu de alta dar sunt deschise doar 6-7 luni pe an, cam din Noiembrie pana in Mai si asta pentru ca sunt rezervatie naturala.
…
Parca am mai fi vrut sa inotam inca o data printre testoase dar anul acesta toate locurile erau ocupate asa ca am luat-o pe Ying de-o aripa, prietena noastra din Thailanda si ne-am infiintat in port, directia Raya & Coral Island. Destul de frumoase si cu mare potential daca stai peste noapte sau daca imparti plaja doar cu cativa turisti. Apa turcoaz si nisipul fainos palesc atunci cand te calci in picioare cu sute de oameni.

Drumul prin padure cu tractorul a facut ca masa de pranz sa fie la fel de inedita ca si view-ul.

Patong-ul nu duce deloc lipsa vietii de noapte. Din contra, muzica duduie pana dimineata, luminile iti intra-n ochi pana tarziu, aglomeratia e cat cuprinde, mancare, bautura, snacks-uri pana cand crapa de ziua, deci in nici un caz un loc unde sa vii pentru a te relaxa. Ba mai mult, multi il viziteaza ca sa ingroase randurile petrecerilor pentru adulti care sunt la tot pasul. De cand intri pe Bangla si pana cand iesi, ba din stanga ba din dreapta, iti intra in ochi un pliant cu Ping Pong Show, unul cu cabaret, un meniu cu bauturi sau o invitatie la vreun go-go bar. Refuzi sau nu refuzi, aceasta este intrebarea 🙂 Nu ma pune sa-ti spun ce este un Ping Pong Show ca nu pot, sincer! 🙂 Si nici poze n-am, ca nu se fotografiaza inauntru. Iti ramane doar sa te duci sa incerci pe pielea ta. Surprise!!

In concluzie, daca vii pe-aici, ia-ti in calcul si cateva zile intr-un loc mai retras, mai plin de cultura sau mai gol de turisti… daca mai exista locuri fara turisti in Thailanda. Eu una asa as face, nu de alta dar sa nu te intorci acasa mai obosit decat erai cand ai plecat.

I always wanted to ride on a Mocanița but I alway I always wanted to ride on a Mocanița but I always posponed the trip due to various reasons ranging from "it's to far away" to "it's more beautiful in the winter" to all kinds of excuses one makes up when he feels that one can always visit a place within his own country. In our case, the irony is that the most accessible places are often the most overlooked, so we decided to brake this vicious circle of I can always go but I never do and start a Romanian tour of places that we've always wanted to visit ☺ And now that I had my first Mocanița experience I want mooooore, so I'm turning to you guys again for help. ☺What other Mocanițe have you been on and where are they located? P.S for non Romanians that probably don't  know what a Mocanița is, it is a type of old steam engine train 😄

In a nutshell, the idea of this trip came from our In a nutshell, the idea of this trip came from our stringent need to travel... to "go somewhere different", in a desperate attempt to keep our sanity during these times of absolute madness. It started from going somewhere for a weekend, it then changed to let's go somewhere farther away for a week and it ended with this 2 week journey through the northern part of Romania 😄 Rimetea was our first stop and we decided to stay in Colțești to get the best of both worlds 😄 We only got one day with sunshine during our 3 day stay and just one minute of perfect sunset sun coming into our room through this roof window. We managed to take this picture ☺

Well, you don't need to worry about that no more, the guys from @marliesdekkersofficial have you covered, both literally and figuratively 😄 All you need to do is choose the right item for you and wear it with confidence. Allow yourself to experience the instant confidence boost and let your new alfa self dominate. Feeling strong has never been so feminine or easy ☺ What is the clothing item you wear when you need a confidence boost?
Sitting here, literally hanging by a thread I real Sitting here, literally hanging by a thread I realized that most of the time everything is hanging by a thread although I don't consciously realize it all the time. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I think everything is merely a spec in the space-time continuum and although it's absolutely necessary to think and realize things it's equally important to just ...hang by a thread and just be ☺ Do you ever feel like this? How do you find your balance? 😄
