Conveuropean

The only time I have been in Greece was when I visited the island of Zakhyntos. I flew there with a charter flight organized by a travel agency in Dublin and I didn't particularly like the place, but my initial impression changed when I visited this unique shipwreck beach. It's very particular place because this short strip of beach is surrounded by high sheer limestone cliffs so it's only accessible by boat. The white sand is beautiful and the hue of the blue water is almost surreal. If you get the chance to visit this Island this is a place I would definitively recommend.

The only time I had been in London (I think it was in the spring of 06) we didn't bring any camera and the mobile phone I had at that time didn't have a camera either, so we bought a disposable one that took some really ... horrible pictures!. I had to throw them away because in most of them you hardly could tell that was London :). Anyway I kept a couple of them like this one where you can see the London Eye .. kind of.

During the winter of 04, I was living in France with M. in a really small village next to Bordeaux, called Cestas. I always remember it was there I saw for the first time in my life Spiders so big you could see their teeth!. A nice plan in Cestas was to go to a park nearby. It was there I took this picture.

One of the advantages of Basel is its proximity to both the French and German borders. So two weeks ago we went with K. to visit Colmar in the Alsace region of France. We had a really good time walking around the narrow streets of the old city, I tasted finally the famous "Tarte Flambee" (not recommended if you don't like or tolerate bacon) and I visited the Unterlinder Museeum, that displays the famous "Retable d'Issenheim". If you are visiting the Alsatian region this city is definitively a recommended spot. I took this picture in a pictoresque area of the city crossed by canals, called "little venice".

The first time I went to Paris in the autumn of 04 with M. The weather was amazing with really clear blue skies. I took this picture in Montmartre and I still enjoy looking at the colors and the background here :).
