MADRID

I finally left Dublin, but couldn't leave Europe without visiting the Spanish Capital: Madrid.












My suitcase back in France and 2-3 days to catch up with my family and I was already on my way to Madrid, the guys (Gorka, Inaki, Dani, Luismi & Ivan) promised me I would have a really good time and I was right to believe them (anyway they never disappointed me in Dublin ;)).









Landing at 10pm, no time for a rest, direction the city centre for Tapas and Drinks ... The food is really good, for all those who went to Spanish Tapas Bar in Dublin well same kind of food but the triple of quantity!! for the drinks... Bah there is nothing to say about La Rioja! This wine can't disappoint you!





Unfortunately the weather wasn't our best friend as it was raining for most of the 3 days I stayed there..



We mostly ate and partaked... well the real Spanish Life!



But the last day Gorka gave me a great tour (by car) for like 2 hours which was enough to see the main sights... of course visiting Madrid during Winter Time isn't as good as Summer Time but it didn't stop me from loving this city....






Maybe I will make it some days my new Home Town ?? To continue.... :D

Goodbye Dublin


After 3 Years and 4 Months spent in Ireland, it is finally time for me to fly towards some new adventures…

When I will shut my eyes, I will remember the most amazing experience I have yet had, remember the 4 different places I have lived in, the 9 jobs I had/did, the Dublin life: the pubs, the irish music, the beers I am still not liking, O’Connell Street with its 10 fast foods (if not more?), the Spire meeting point, the changing weather (I am a witness of the 4 seasons in 1 day!), this Multicultural City… And a lot lot more…

But it’s nothing compared to the People I met! Thank you so so much for everything, you definitely changed my life, opened my eyes to a lot lot of new things and gave me this new passion which is travelling. I will definitely miss you but will surely be bringing you with me around the World (in my heart and in pictures :D)



Travelling is not just seeing the new; it is also leaving behind. Not just opening doors; also closing them behind you, never to return.
But the place you have left forever is always there for you to see whenever you shut your eyes...
