Discovering Los Dominicos – Santiago, Chile

We think this is a MUST visit in Santiago ! Santiago, Chile – Los Dominicos The Pueblito Los Dominicos is a must visit in Santiago, Chile. It’s a really nice public park and outdoor shopping mall where you can buy original Chilean handcrafts. They have really beautiful hand made pieces from all types of raw materials and textiles. There are some restaurants and coffee places on site which means you can stay for a while. It’s easily accessible by metro, very straight forward the metro exit is “Los Dominicos”. From there, it’s less than 10 minutes walking distance to the main entrance. It will be hard to resist the temptation, so make sure you bring some some cash. Most of

Discovering Zagreb – Europe Part 7

Ok let’s be honest … How many people do you know have been to Croatia while visiting Europe? LIA : I will tell you the truth, I never thought to visit Croatia if it wasn’t for my friend Luciane. She is my Brazilian friend, who acted like a bridge for us to visit Zagreb. During the summer of 2009 we got our luggage ready for Europe and Zagreb was officially on the itinerary. We would visit for 4 days ! What a surprise! Zagreb is a really cozy city with lots of history. It’s a cute Old city that is now clean and renovated since their last war. When we went, we noticed some graffiti in some areas that hadn’t been cleaned

Discovering Europe : The way back

The way back and rushing to make our train in Slovenia. During this trip, Lia and I discovered that we easily get carried away on vacation. We want to maximize our experience and time. For example, just before leaving Lyon, I was inquiring about a different route back to Slovenia. ‘What if we head towards Germany or even Austria’ ? If we had time, it would have been a wonderful extension of the trip. Sadly, time was not on our side. We only had 2 days to catch our train in Ljubljana. We left Annecy, heading across Italy towards Venice and Mestre. But we found ourselves at the Swiss border ‘forehead slap’. We could have used a GPS at this point. At least we

Discovering Lyon – Part 5 : French surroundings

Discovering Lyon – Part 5 : arriving in Lyon and how we still wanted more to see. We wanted to see everything and take it all in. When I (Serge) received the invitation from Lia to visit Europe, I took some time to think about it. Actually Lia thought I didn’t want to travel with her, because I took so long to answer. Actually, I took two weeks before giving her an answer. In hindsight, I’m not sure why I took so long to answer. I had only dreamt of going to Europe until this point. Would it disappoint ? The main reason pushing me to go, was my friend (Renaud) living in France. Something didn’t feel right about visiting Europe and
