From the city of love to the city of life...

From the beautiful city of love, Paris, to Ibiza, the white city of life... the paradise with a very special vibe. We have been here just over a week now and the thought of leaving is not appealing at all... Ibiza seems to be the mecca of all hippies, young, old, rich and poor, and we seem to fit in very well. So... we will enjoy our time here, soaking up everything Ibiza has to offer!

We have been exploring the island, from one beautiful beach to another, we have been to a different beach every day of the week... all beautiful, all welcoming... we have been from the North to the South and to the West, still to explore the East end of this island. The food has been amazing from Mediterrasian to Indian to typical fresh seafood and yummy tapas... we are sure there will always be something new to try, so many restaurants to discover in our culinary exlorations...

Yesterday we met up with old friends from Roatan whom we had not seen in 6 years, since they left Roatan for Ibiza. So fantastic to catch up, see their lovely family, hear their story and enjoy. We spent the day at their old Ibiza finca far out in the countryside (and yet not so far out at all), surrounded by almond and citrus groves, rolling hillsides, peace and quiet... amazing. Spent the day enjoying the lovely fresh air, swimming in their pool to stay cool and refreshed. Wonderful.

Looking very forward to see what treasures we uncover this week, while we look for a house to rent, to relax and enjoy the island, away from the tourists... hoping to get a feel for life on Ibiza.

From this paradise of love, life and all that is good. xxxoooxxx

The journey begins....

The journey begins and I begin to wonder.... will we make it!! It was quite a feat just to get off Roatan so I guess no matter what we do that was a huge accomplishment in itself. The trip to Miami was easy and South Beach is always welcoming. Although when we got to the first hotel I had booked on the internet to see that it was closed for renovations, I began to wonder how this would all work out??? As luck would have it they found us rooms at their other hotel which was quite comfortable. Having faith helps when you travel with a group of 6!!
The flight from Miami to Denmark was without incident and quite pleasant. Arriving in Copenhagen to be met by Henrik's parents was very pleasant. We spent 4 days enjoying Henrik's home town and preparing to begin the trip around Europe.
We flew to Paris to meet our good friend Marila and her two children. We were then off to Disneyland Paris to have some fun... the rides were good, the weather great and the hotel's water park was enjoyed by the kids (especially since the water was heated!). We were extremely exhausted after a day at the park and we battled to wake up early the next day... to head to Paris, the city of love.
What a wonderful day spent at the Eifel Tower, laying on the grass relaxing, basking in the amazement of being there... life is good.
Tomorrow we will take a tour of the city to see all the main attractions and perhaps get some time to relax and enjoy Paris, the cafe's, good food and all that goes with it..... hopefully the sun will continue to shine and the good weather follow us along the way.
Until next time.... au revoir and lots of love...
