For the love of Riomaggiore and Portovenere

And here is the final vacation post... It`s kinda sad actually because sorting through all the photos and choosing which one to post made me live through some of those precious moments again. I saved the best for last because these two are a huge favourite of mine. Riomaggiore we discovered last year and I fell in love with it right away. When planning this years trip I knew I had to go there aswell. And as soon as we stepped out of the car and I saw those little streets and the adorable restaurants I just felt like home. And between us.. I actually shed a tear. Dont tell anyone. I was just so happy to be back. And almost all the same kind words go to Portovenere. I have been there 3 times and I keep wanting to go back. Some places just have that effect and that special something. So... here are the last set of photos for you to enjoy.

The magical views from Riomaggiore.


The delicious swordfish pasta.
Became quite addicted to seafood.


Portovenere.


Good morning!
At the local market in La Spezia.


A lovely view to Portovenere.

The luxury of Monaco and Cannes

One more post about the vacation coming after this one and then I`m done and we can move forward :) So... Monaco and Cannes, what can I say... Both one of the most luxurious places and both so fabulous that you cant help but to wish to go back. And I must say Cannes made quite an impression. I`ve been there once when I was younger but I don`t remember much so it was all new to me. And I definitely want to go back. Enjoy my selection of pics.

Loads of fancy cars in Monaco.. I cant help but post some of my personal favourites.
And oh so many of them still hide in my dreams folder..






Breakfast a la French :)
Roberto Cavalli`s yacht in Cannes.


Cirque du Soir in Cannes. They had a pretty impressive list of performers at the Palais club.






The best crepes with tomatoes, mushrooms and cheese.

San Remo & Nice


One of the main reasons I keep going back to San Remo is a small restaurant called "Maona" and they serve the best fish. Good enough reason for me.
Plus the walks on the not-so-busy promenade.
Our hotel.




Exploring the real-estate options in Côte d'Azur.
Breakfast.
A very cool store in Nice. NÃO Do Brasil.


And in we go :)
