Summer in Brugge

If there is anything that should not be taken for granted, it is a sun ray in Brugge. So you can imagine my excitement when experiencing summer here, not only is it vastly different from the grey, wet, freezing cold weather of a depressing winter, but it is action packed with fun, musical, strange, festivals with an eclectic range of themes. And of course, and eclectic taste in alcohol.

As the weather now slowly but surely in it's snail like pace reverts back to colder days, I can't help but hear the echo of a voice resonating in the far distance of my imagination, to steal a quote from the Game of Thrones... "Winter is Coming"! 

Ah! The very phrase sends shivers down my spine, the thought is cringe worthy and dispiriting. Nevertheless, the sun is still streaming through the crevices of this proverbial box; the colours of summer still greet me, although now bitterly withering away like watercolour on a spoiled canvas. 

I regretfully put on another pullover, soon I shall drowning in layers again fighting the daggers the cold air brings. Until then, I'll bask in the rays that weave though clouds, intervals that seem to go on and on forever.

I'll savour the warmth, the colours, and the overall ambiance that Brugge offers in the summer time... while I still can. 

Cala Moli

Cala Moli is a nice morning beach, quite but very rocky. We recommend wearing shoes!

Cala Tarida

Cala Tarida is a top beach, very family friendly and downright beautiful! The pictures pretty much speak for themselves but at the same time they do not do this place enough justice because it truly is a sweet little paradise hidden in a gorgeous cove in the south of Ibiza. A must see. 

Platges De Comte

Another beach, another day. Platges De Comte is just another beach like any other in Ibiza. Although it is predictably scenic, it is difficult to truly enjoy the crystal clear water and picturesque cliff-like mountains in the horizon, mainly because it is packed with tourists. It is hard not to laugh at the huge, well rounded Spanish guys covered in tattoos holding coconuts and bags of fruit yelling out at the top of their lungs “Tuti Fruity? Protein! Protien! Yummy wummy?”

A beautifully charming and overrated beach.  We enjoyed ourselves nevertheless.

Cala Frick'n Bassa!

CLEARLY Cala Bassa is beautiful but it comes with the price of a bazillion tourists. If a picture really does have a thousand words, than Joey's face says it all! 

Cala Salada

Of course, our first 'beachventure' had to be difficult. After spending our first evening chilling at Port Torrens in front of our hotel we set off the next day to go beach hopping on a rented scooter. We arrived in a breath taking place called Cala Salada which we can only imagine means Salad Beach. As you can see in the picture above, we were standing on a rocky shore overlooking another utopian like apparition of a beach that took us about an hour and a half to finally reach. After trying to get there by bike, by foot, by wit bravery and imagination we finally gave in and asked someone and realised that we had to climb those rocks (on the right) and cascade a cliff in order to get there.

It was worth it.
