Travel With Cynthia

For my parents 35th wedding anniversary we all went together for a cruise around the Greek Islands. The cruise was from Venice to Venice and since it is well known how expensive Venice is, we decided to stay in the next town (10mins away) called Mestre.  If you want to go to Venice but not spend a lot of money on accommodation and be close to Venice,  than Mestre is your place. River of Mestre We stayed at a hotel called Residence Elite Hotel , a modern hotel, with all the necessities, including a small fitness center. Breakfast was descent which included bread, hams, cheeses, cereals and some sweets. The beds are extremely comfortable for a good night sleep, which will give you the right boost to tour around Mestre or Venice. The hotel is roughly 15 minutes away from the town center on foot. This town is full of different characteristics with different architectures of both Norman, Gothic and possibly a touch of Baroque, with its main square Piazza Ferretto having ...

This was my first time going on for a cruise and it started off from Venice. It is 6.00PM and buuuuup buuupp the cruise sounded its horn.. Time to go... We had two tug boats escorting us out from the port one pushing from behind  the ship and one on the front.  As soon as we made it half way out of Venice it was amazing as we got the perfect time for sunset. While leaving the beautiful city of Venice we got to see the water canals of this city, Marco Polo Cathedral and the ship/boat activity in the port is amazing... Obviously while seeing such beautiful scenery I got inspired, so as soon as we were out of Venice, I ran downstairs to our room sat down in our gorgeous balcony, watching the sunset and  started writing this post....

Poland was our honeymoon destination  during the warm months of summer. Poland has both cold winter weather and in summer hot sweaty days.  While spending 15 days around Poland we pretty much came to a conclusion that it is nice and worth another visit. Picturesque mountains Mountains in Poland are breathtaking. The long never ending mountain ranges are spectacular. Anyone which is a fan of nature, you have to visit the Tataras, a true paradise. It is the perfect place for hiking in Summer, with mountains covered in green vegetation and lashing white in Winter perfect for skiing lovers. Morskie Oko The Food! Food in Poland is great. They do have a different way of cooking however food was always delicious. They enjoy their soups and meat. They have some national Polish dishes like Pierogis (polish dumplings) and borscht ( sour soup). I was not a fan of the sour soup but the piergois where super yummy.  If you have a sweet tooth I do suggest you go f...
