Ciao! Eindelijk, mijn
eerste blogpost over Italië en ik ben blij deze te delen met jullie. Mijn
bestemmingen waren Florence en Rimini, en voel met schuldig voor het lang wachten
van mijn blog plaatsing. Ik kwam namelijk net terug van Italië en de week
daarop volgende mijn 2e vakantie in Spanje en hierdoor is er
weinig tijd over om een kwalitatieve blog te schrijven.
Hopelijk heb ik jullie toch
warm gehouden met IG!
Mijn eerste dag in Italië
was heet en de volgende dagen bleef het steken op
In Florence boekten we een
leuke en comfortabele B&B. We kwamen aan, checkte in, deden een snelle
kamer onderzoek, is tevreden en dropten onze bagage en gingen snel de stad
verkennen te voet! Met als gevolg: blaren op onze voeten.
Bekijk hieronder alvast de eerste foto's van mij in Florence!

My first night in Reggio Emilia
They have nice breakfast and love this squary tiled lamp on the ceiling!
I'll be honest, train schedules in Italy are not accurate at all. And not knowing Italian is a struggle too because their English isn't great either. Luckily my friend F. is Italian c:
Funny to see the German influence on a piece of sign inside the train.
Firenze! We have arrived!
We went to see the star building of Firenze (Florence): the Duomo cathedral!
Looks like the white bum bag was the winner of all!
Hat stands everywhere.
Lunch time at
OK Bar
We saw a lot of these fans + cooling water mist blowing around even at our terrace which is brilliant and this dude is enjoying to it fullest.
We have ordered:
1 salmon egg spaghetti
1 ragout spaghetti
1 side salad
2 iced tea
My salmon and egg spaghetti was delicious! Though the plating could be done better I think because it looked like it got dropped on a plate ungracefully. Our lunch also came with free bread but the bread were so dry and hard to eat that we didn't finish the basket. And the side salad could used a dressing but I guess that's why they put vinegar and olive oil on the table. Overall, not bad, a tad pricey (says my Italian friend) and good service OK bar!
Imagine my amazed face when I saw fries as topping on pizza base.
Our daily mission was also buying (cooled) bottled water because trust me you don't want to be dehydrated in a 35°C area place.

DIY: customize a mug
So for my best friends birthday, one of the gifts I got her
are these mugs with my own doodles on it. I always
make a personal gift for someones birthday. This year I
decided to create this super easy DIY. All you need
is an ovenproof mug, markers and some creativity.
Bake it in the oven for 30 mins 175°C when you are done.
Don't wash the mugs in the dishwasher as it will wash the
markers away!
And what I like about this DIY is that you don't need to have super talent for it, kiddish/cartoonish style are totally acceptable and it creates a real fun, quirky look!
This year is also a special year because me and my bestie are buddies for over 10 years ^_^
You can use a pencil for extra guidelines. But if you messed up, don't panic. All you need is a scourer to rub it off.
She likes goldfishes so I drew some for her!

The Forbidden City & Peking Duck
EN
Summer 2018 was full on exploring Asia. Now whole Asia of course but I went to Japan and China for the very first time of my life. I've experienced heatwaves and I don't mind tropical temperatures at all but some were just to hot and steamy for me even.
I've also explored and walked so much in China. Everyday was pretty much a workout especially with the topnotch temperatures and hill hiking. I've had delicious cheap Chinese food and it's not the typical Chinatown version.
I almost had the one and only delicacy Peking Duck because it looked so so so good but I restrained and kept true to my vegetarian heart.
One of the things I want to do in China was to see The Forbidden City. I grew up with C-drama (還珠格格 anyone?) and movies and The Forbidden City and all the historical events that took place has fascinated me ever since.
I don't know why but somehow visiting this palace completes me being a Chinese. A proud one!

Old Dutch Delft, hallo!
EN
When you have to name a city from The Netherlands you'd probably come up with Amsterdam which is quite the obvious. Or perhaps Rotterdam. Or Delft for the real geographic go getter.
Delft lies north of Rotterdam and it's a city of art and a big chance you've heard or seen of Delfts art.
How about the 'Girl With the Pearl Earring?' Yep, it was made by a Delftenaar and painter J. Vermeer.
We have Delfts blue pottery and tiles. There's cheese.
There was also rain when I was in Delft with my colleague friend Sanneke. But it was also my first time in Delft and I was excited! We saw a lot of art related stuff in Old Dutch style. We ate at Kek (blogpost here) and we did a boattrip.
Scroll down to see our Delft adventure.

Als je een Nederlandse stad moet opnoemen, welke zou dat zijn? Amsterdam? Dat kan. Of Rotterdam. Maar wat dacht je van Delft?
Delft ken je vast ook wel!
Ik ben er nog nooit geweest wel rijd ik er vaak langs met de trein. Delft ken ik natuurlijk van Del…

De terrorwaterspuitende ventilators zijn heel herkenbaar haha! Prachtige foto's as always en we moeten snel weer een keer afspreken he :) x
ReplyDeleteFlorence is so pretty, I wish I visited for longer when I did! I love these photos. 35C heat sounds brutal though!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, Mei. These pictures are gorgeous. The streets are so charming. And that hat stand! LOVE! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat did you think overall? I adore Florence and is one of my favourite cities that I have been to. Although I went in winger when it was 15°C. Can't imagine being in that kind of heat!
ReplyDeleteDignifiable
Oy Firenze looks gorgeous! I hope you're having a blast
ReplyDeleteIt looks nice :]
ReplyDeleteGosh, 35 degrees... Pff, good thing to stay hydrated!

ReplyDeleteFries for a pizza topping?! No way! I've never seen that either :)
ReplyDeleteIt looks like your trip was a lot of fun! I totally agree, I wouldn't ever want to be dehydrated!

THAT L.A. IT GIRL
35C is pretty warm, I am use to warm weather here. Italy is a beautiful country, been to Florence once during my Europe trip. Their roof tops are all orangy red..very nice view from atop.
ReplyDeleteThe food looks so good! Especially the fry-topped pizza :O I tend to want to dress nicer when I'm traveling, but after a few trips, I've realized that I'd much rather wear comfortable walking shoes than fashionable shoes! Luckily sneakers/trainers are becoming a sort of trend right now :) -Audrey | Brunch at Audrey's
