Cuba Libre

s I got into updates right now, here're some photos from my August-September trip to Cuba. We toured all the 14 provinces and had an amazing time there.It was the best holiday ever in spite of the hurricanes. Hasta la victoria siempre!

Havana



Pinal del Rio



Trinidad




Santiago

Varadero

To Venus and Back

It seems that 6 hours I spent recreating my ACDSee database weren't absolutely lost cuz my scrapping muse is now back!!! It's funny: my desk is a MESS, but my harddisk is perfecly organised. My picture folder goes down to 5 levels...don't ask. I find it so much easier to scrap when I can see ALL my green grungy papers/ribbon circle frames/pressed flowers together and don't have to browse the kits one by one. These are my last efforts.

The photos were taken in winter and summer 2006. In January, I attended a language course in Bristol, UK and later that year went to learn some more English to Malta. My grammar got much better in Bristol and I bought a great stash of miniskirts in Valletta, so you see that both trip had their pros ;) I love travelling, I'd fly somewhere straight away if I could. I can't wait till August...bathing in the Caribbean, drinking strawberry daiquiri and seeing Havana *dreamy* Back to the topic, here're the layouts. I went for altered-grungy look, I'd also love to do some collage-like pieces. Btw, images link to DST, so you can read the credit and leave a comment *wink*

On the Nile

Hi, I am back from Egypt. I really enjoyed myself, especially the Nile cruise. It was quite a new experience for me, as the longest time I'd spent on board of a ship before, was about 3 hours on the ferry from Holyhead to Dublin. Here's the first bunch of photos I took, most of them were taken straight from my cabin's window ;)

Tak som späť z Egypta. naozaj som si dovču užila, najmä plavbu po Níle, keďže na lodi som predtým strávila najdlhšie 3 hodiny na trajekte medzi Holyheadom (GB) a Dublinom. Tu je prvá várka fotočiek, väčšinu som odfotila priamo z kabíny cez okno. Taký výhľad by som hneď brala aj doma ;)

The Sand Dunes


Sunset in Esna
Local merchants arrive to the holiday ships in small boats and throw their goods on board. Trying to throw the towels and dress back is a lot of fun ;)


Aswan
The town is famous for its huge dam and felukas (sailing boats).


Sail Away ;)
We boarded one of the felukas but as the weather wasn't windy enough, we got stuck in the middle of the river :D
