I couldn’t tell you who said it, even if my life depended on it… But I do love quotes, and especially travelquotes. Do you have any favorite quotes?

Walk with me through the streets of Lindos
The whitewashed homes with blue accents and doors are somewhat iconic when it comes to Greek-styled homes, so naturally, you can find quite a few white buildings on Lindos as well. It’s not just pretty and picturesque but in fact, the white color helps to cool down the island homes during the summer heat, but I have also read that it was used to prevent the spread of cholera. The whitewash contained limestone, which is a disinfectant, and not many others wherein common use during that time. Should we all paint our houses with limestone? Of just visit Greece more often? How can you not stop and…

Boattrip to Lindos
After a few days of just enjoying the beaches and sunshine, we were up for a bit of an adventure so we ended up booking a boat trip to the town Lindos. If you book a tour as we did, you get picked up in the harbor in the city of Rhodes, there’s one stop on the way to pick more people but otherwise, it’s a few hours on the boat, and when you arrive in the small port of Lindos. They have a small bar on the boat with some snacks and cold beverages, restrooms, of course, sunbeds both on the foredeck and on the flybridge terrasse. They even…

Ronda beach Bar
I could say that every day during our trip to the island of Rhodes in Greece was not like the images above, but that would be a big fat lie. Ronda beach Bar was absolutely amazing, I mean, just look at the images of this bohemian-styled paradise. Wouldn’t you be there every day? It was a bit on the pricy side, we paid 20 euros to rent two sunbeds for one day, towel included. If you wanted a sunbed on the front row, you would have to pay 30 euros. And then, of course, you’ll have to pay extra for food and drinks. But you know what,…

Highlights from the summer of 2021
Just as the previous years 2019 and 2020 we wanted to do a bit of a summery or review of the summer that has passed. And I know we’re a bit late to the game with our review, but to be honest, it all started out with a bit of a summer holiday from blogging… and that kind of turned into an autumn holiday as well. Woops. But we’re back again, better late than never right, so don’t forget to check in for some more content here on the blog! We started the summer with a train trip to the city of Gothenburg where Ann and Jacob celebrated their 10th…

Foodtravel to Madrid with Vacay in a box
We divided the box a bit differently just to make it fit our weekend the best, but then again, isn’t that what you always do on your trips? So we started out on Friday night with a bit of music and a glass of Sangria to set the mood, before we headed into the kitchen to start off the weekend with some Fideua. You don’t know what Fideua is? Well, neither did I, but it’s basically a form of paella where you use noodles instead of rice. It was supposed to be a lot of different seafood in it, but we ordered the chef (me) to make it without the…

The Acropolis of Athens and the Parthenon
As I have said before, it’s a bit of a walk up to but it’s well worth it, you pass places like Odeon of Herodes on your way there. But make sure that you bring your water, especially on a hot day, there are no places to buy anything once you get up there. And bring your walking shoes, the hills are steep at some places and the stairs are really long. It will take you about 20 minutes to walk up to Acropolis, but it took us a bit longer since we could not help to stop everywhere just to look at the places we passed. Upon the Acropolis,…

Hotel Bellora
During our weekend to Gothenburg in Sweden, we booked our stay at Bellora Hotel which is located right in the middle of city center. What really drew me to this particular hotel was yes of course, the location, but mostly it has to do with the fact that they have an Italian inspired menu. You all know me by know, you know that I can’t say no to some pasta, pizza and a good red? Don’t miss an update! Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest. As you can see on the images above, the hotel has a restaurant, a bar, a lounge area and the best part – a rooftop terrace.…

First Class from Stockholm to Gothenburg by train
We’re finally on the road again, and this time we’re traveling First Class. We have not really been traveling that much by train, I would say that the only time that we really travel by train is when we’re going to visit our family that lives in the South of Sweden. Once we traveled by Snälltåg which was supercute, and then back again with the faster train called X2000 and both of those times we’ve traveled in Buissness Class. But this time, as the caption says, we’re traveling First Class from Stockholm by train to Gothenburg. If you travel during the morning they’ll give you a free breakfast, but you’ll…

Elite Palace Hotel
Don’t miss an update! Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest. It’s been a really REALLY long time since we were able to stay in the city for a weekend, it’s one of those things that we always talk about doing but it never seems to happen, until now. One of the best things about staying at a hotel like Elite Palace Hotel in Stockholm, Sweden, is definitely the breakfast they offer. I loved strolling around in the breakfast area, just taking it all in. Kind of like window-shopping for the perfect breakfast plate before you decide what to start with. They offered everything from bacon and eggs, yogurts, juice, sandwiches, and of…
