We didn’t have so much snow.

Ile Maurice

cri — Sun, 15 Jan 2012 18:57:34 +0000

In 1896, the author Mark Twain wrote “You gather the idea that Mauritius was made first and then heaven, and that heaven was copied after Mauritius”.

In 1841 Charles Baudelaire wrote the poéme “A une dame créole” inspired by Mauritius, also Joseph Conrad, Bernardin de Saint-Pierre and Patrick O’Brian wrote about it.

***

We booked the flight to Mauritius as a joke, we were looking for a new place to visit on honeymoon, and I deeply fell in love with Namibia and also Jordan, but they weren’t good for January, and when Mrs. Airfrance sent us the newsletter with “Mauritius super cheap flights!” we thought it would have been nice to take our swimsuits, flipflops and nothing else, so we did it.

Tropical Island we are coming!

And we went, and it was hot, more than hot, and the Indian ocean was paradisiac for real, tropical flora was gigantic, birds were colourful and mountains were sauvages.
We lived it as a punk-honeymoon, no swans on our bed (damned!), no resort, no 5 stars food, we lost ourselves between mauritians, and I ate more “dissenten” pills than local cuisine.

I have to admit I am not a real beach-girl, it’s the second time I try to convince myself after Santorini, and it doesn’t work as I always dreamt in my mind, because 5 minutes later I saw the beach, I am ok, I don’t need to stay more. Now I know I wouldn’t be happy to visit Polinesia or Caraibi, and the most coolest place is the one I live in, and other without beaches.

Closed for honeymoon

My Big Fat Greek Trip

cri — Mon, 18 Jul 2011 14:51:24 +0000

Last February I booked a flight to Santorini, I never went to Greece, it never has been my kind of holiday, but I always wonder if I could join those landscapes I always saw on Internet, you know what I mean, white and blue tiny little houses, and seaview everywhere.
I finally visited Santorini, the honeymoon place for Americans (even for others, but Americans especially love it).
I fell in love with it, it’s a kind of jewel in the middle of the sea, you can rent a scooter (or a quad for Americans) and ride all the island all day long (something brought me back to teenage era), there are probably 45°C, but it’s so windy that it’s like being in 25°C. You can find more English people there than in London, so it’s like being in the EF advanced course. Landscape are breathtaking, for real, and greek people are nice with you, probably cause you mean money to come in, but anyway they are nice. Then, if you find yourself in Perissa, stop at the Bakery, the most fat dessert place in the world, I will miss it for the rest of my life.
I have to admit after 2 days of beach I really had enough, and I had to find something to do, which it’s quite hard, and I was supposed to find a lots of fish to eat, and found anything cause there are no more fish in the Aegean Sea close to this Island, really sad. So if you like meat&beach, that’s the right place for you. If you have to make a wedding proposal, is right as well, I guess.
I have to thank Marios and Vichy from Amelie Hotel, they were so so kind with us (I will miss that bench guys!).

I see my future in Roller Derby

cri — Sat, 18 Jun 2011 15:57:51 +0000

Yesterday night I watched the first Drew Barrymore’s movie, as director, called “Whip It”.
It’s an easy movie about Roller Derby (go to wikipedia to read about) to watch with pop corn, chillin’ on the couch alone, but when it ends, you only think “Hey, where are my roller?! I got to go!”.

If you live in the States, lucky you, I know there are already a lots of team, if you live in Paris, lucky you, it’s becoming a sport à la mode, if you live in Italy, give me a call, I am ready to start to kick ass.

Finally my first day of freedom after nearly one month, spent at home for the ‘carcrush’.
We had more than 25 °C so we enjoyed a picnic up to the hills, then we went to buy flowers and plants for our houses.
