I had the opportunity to take a cruise-trip vacation with my family this summer. Boarding at Venice, we then cruised around Europe through Greece, Turkey, then Italy (Rome, Florence, and Sorrento), and then we disembarked in Barcelona. 

It was an awesome experience to see the cultures, the amazing architectures and absolutely stunning views during this trip. 

When we go traveling, there is so much to experience, to enjoy, and to share, but there is so little time.

I don't know how I did it, but I did!
During the summer break I spent 10 days traveling in south France, Lyon, and finally ended up in Paris all by myself.

It was my first time travel to some places where English is not the first language and I did this trip just on my own. The experience? Amazing.

I was in Marseille, Nice, Monaco, Eze, Lyon, and Paris. I loved the architectures, the landscapes, the food, and the lovely hotels I have stayed with. It remains priceless in my travel experiences ;) (but I hope I will not travel just alone again anymore)

I was in London from Aug 10 till Aug 13...SO LUCKY got to watch the male final football match! it was definitely memorable and the atmosphere at the stadium was just crazy.

My friend and I went to Mandarin Oriental's  dinner by Heston Blumenthal. It was a great experience to see and compare dinning places from city to city. Interior is quite elegant and romantic, however personally I feel quite weird that we have to walk though the entire lounge bar area before getting to the reception desk of the restaurant. 

Food wise everything was really nice...REALLY like the spiced pigeon :) i think who ever go to that restaurant should try that.
