Trip to Africa (Tunisia)

-

It is Friday already ? Time does fly. It is time for another Flashback Friday hosted by Fran, Poekitten, Moira and Jane. Link up everybody.. :) 



 Every now and then I am thinking about my vacation to Tunisia this past summer.
 During spring and part of the summer of 2013 I was doing internship with one bank in Macedonia. It was pretty stressful, so after I finished it I really needed a break. Darko played at New Zealand at that time. He was coming home a month after I finished my internship. I tried to plan our vacation, but it didn't work out. He wanted to go to Greece, and I wanted to go somewhere else (we have already been in Greece). He wanted to practice during vacation, and all I needed was rest. Soo.. We decided I would go with one of my girlfriends on vacation before he comes back, and then we will go somewhere together. If you ask me, it was a perfect plan. :) 
My friend and I wanted to go somewhere nice, without crazy parties, with the hotel close to or on the beach. We didn't have much time, and in 2 days we chose to go to Tunisia. We didn't want to spend fortune on our trip, and Tunisia was very affordable. It was only 2 hour flight, so we picked it. Didn't know what to expect though.. 
Hands down, it was one of the best vacations so far.. We laughed every day all day..We went to bed at 23h,  and woke up around 9h. Spent entire day at the beach, just laying down and enjoying the sun and the sea sound.. That's all what we needed. Last few days of the trip we went to Sahara desert.. Swam at the pool that is located in the middle of the desert. Amazing feeling! Anyone who gets a chance to travel there, should go.. It was a long and exhausting drive from our hotel to the desert, but we didn't stop laughing. 
We have a saying in Serbia : " It is better for a man to live in the dessert, than the dessert to live inside of man".  Every time I would complain about the trip or the heat, my friend would tell me this saying. And, from nowhere I would start laughing..  
We had a blast! We recharged our batteries, and we were ready for the next chapters of our lives. 

Watermelon hookah.. I tried it for the first time

While his owner was sleeping I sneaked in to get a picture with this "little" guy :) Saved couple of bucks :)


Running down dune

We met some cool people

Enjoying the view


We are friends for a looong time..

Even though Tunisia is not the cleanest country, and people are not the nicest ones, we made the best of this trip. We made great memories, and enjoyed every minute of it.

3 countries I want to visit

I considered myself the traveler. Few days ago, I was thinking about all the countries I visited so I found online maps where you can check off all the countries you visited. There are many websites you can find, but I used this one   . I started by checking off the countries, and at the end I was able to see the map and some statistics about all my visited countries. When I saw the map and the statistics, I thought "I have seen nothing". I was in 24 countries in 5 continents, which is about 11% of the total number of countries. There are 195 countries in the world. I have some traveling to do. :) I was thinking if I could choose, which three countries I would pick to go to? So here is the list: Belize : This country has been on my dream list for so long. It's located in Central America, bordered by Mexico on the north, and Guatemala on the south and the west. On the east side is the Caribbean sea. It is a small country with population of 387,879 people. They use

Lefke, Cyprus

 After our time in France, in January we moved to Cyprus. I don't know if you knew, but Cyprus is split in two parts. South part is inhabited mostly by greek Cypriots. This part is a member of European Union, and is more developed comparing to the north part. North part is inhabited mostly by turkish Cypriots , and its official name is Turkish Republic of North Cyprus. This part is not a member of European Union and it is not developed as the south part. It used to be one country, but they separated in 1974. If you are interested in reading more about Cyprus, you can click here  Cyprus Few years ago, Darko played in the south part, but this time we all went to the north side. My first impressions weren't so impressive. :) Coming from France, which is country of style and fashion, to a little and undeveloped country, was a little shock for me. It's always easy to get used to better things, changes, lifestyle, and I am the living example of it. But, what was great si

A place where time has stopped

 For some reason, every summer when we get back to Serbia I stop writing. I am little busier here than during the season, but I feel like I lose motivation, and I don't even think that much about the blog. Well... I decided to change that. :) Serbia is a beautiful country, and there is so much to see. Especially the nature here is amazing. Few weeks ago we went to visit my dad's village. He was born there, but he left the village during his early age. When we were younger, my sisters and I would spend summers at this place. Since, I didn't like the village life that much I didn't spend that much time as my younger sister. Last time I visited this place was six years ago. And, nothing has changed since than. Actually, nothing has changed since my visits as a child. My grandmother looks the same. She didn't aged a bit. I don't know how she does it. :) The house looks the same, as well as the things inside the house. The population of the village is no more tha
