Our Imaginary Trip… the Far… Far… Horizons…
February…
Is nudging… our imagination…
Urging… our love for exotic adventure… the discovery of new far horizons… to fly away and dream…
Boarding our imaginary, nostalgic, and romantic train from the Gare du Lyon, heading to the Côte d’Azur… the French Riviera…
Soaking in… the divine sun all day… dancing the night away…
We continue on our… flight of fancy… for a few days in Venice… Piazza San Marco… Harry’s Bar… the Gondolas…
A short stay in Rome… (after Paris)… the most fabulous city on the planet…
Waking up at Claridge’s in London… we have a whirl of socialising…
Catching the plane… we’re off to Morocco… visiting exotic Marrakesh… loved the legendary La Mamounia hotel… intrigued by romantic Tangier… home to many literary writers… international socialites… a haven for the rich and famous…
Still in our reverie… we fly to Egypt… marvelling at the majestic Pyramids… sailing down the Nile to Luxor… So much beauty… awesome history…
Our dreaming… takes us to Kenya… it is said… if you’ve never been to this wildly stunning God’s country… you’ve experienced nothing…
Our spirit soaring…
We’re roaming the bustling street life of Bombay… India… a million and one colours flood the side walks… the magnificent palaces… the life enhancing river Ganges…
Nepal… exquisite Seychelles… roads… highways… airways… less travelled…
Hong Kong… is our next destination… with its breathtaking view of the harbour… skyscrapers… affluence…
Heady…
China… oldest and most fascinating civilisation… eating local Chinese food with our chopsticks… was heaven.
Mongolia… one cannot get more exotic than that…
Russia… skyline of golden onion-shaped domes… Moscow’s awe inspiring monuments… We had a rendezvous with a dramatic, melancholic restaurant… where we’re serenaded with the haunting melody… “At the Balalaika“… feasting on blinis and caviar… Beef Stroganoff… washed down with vodka… we almost… glimpsed Greta Garbo… sitting with her “comrades” on the next table in “Ninotchka“…
Landing in Peru… the land of the llamas… the foothills of the Andes… the multicoloured local costumes…
We’re on top of the world…
Bleary eyed… we hit one of our favourite destinations… the glamorous “city that never sleeps”… New York…
After a hectic but deliciously thrilling few days… we board the “plane of our dreams“… straight to the “land of milk and honey”… the Greek islands… to recuperate from our trip.
Thrilled… rested… refreshed…
We head home to Paris… “notre ville… que nous adorons”..
Waking up from our dream… our reverie…
We Loved every minute… of our…
Imaginary trip… Our Fantasy…
Our… far… far…
Horizons…
