Tea at Alila

No matter how many times I come to Bali, I never get tired. I finished another lovely weekend trip with a super pleasant warung lunch and some jasmine tea at Alila Uluwatu. This time maybe I won't be back for a while, but then again maybe I will...


 

Bulgari restaurant in Bali

 

Lovely dining at the Italian restaurant at the Bulgari Hotel in Bali.

 

 

The course was fun & delicious...

 

 

... and surprisingly filling.

 

Uluwatu waves

Today was especially beautiful in Uluwatu... The water was extra blue and brought in enormous waves. Thank god I wasn't surfing today.

Ibiza's dramatic sky

 

On the last evening of my special Ibiza weekend.

 

Ibiza water

 

I couldn't have imagined how beautiful Ibiza would be before this trip... the four corners of the island were truly gorgeous.

European sweets

I wonder why European sweets always look prettier and more romantic?

 

Freshly taken in Barcelona!

 

A well travelled woman

Something about her blog is truly inspirational...

 

 

 

Family Happiness

"I have lived through much, and now I think I have found what is needed for happiness. A quiet secluded life in the country, with the possibility of being useful to people to whom it is easy to do good, and who are not accustomed to have it done to them; then work which one hopes may be of some use; then rest, nature, books, music, love for one's neighbor—such is my idea of happiness. And then, on top of all that, you for a mate, and children perhaps—what can more the heart of man desire?" - Leo Tolstoy
