Utrecht

Beautiful city located in the smallest province of the Netherlands.
 


 
I believe that there are not many cities where you can maintain this harmony.
 


 
Perfect meeting point for visiting the city :)

The Ancient City of Shaoxing

It was another trip to participate in sports competitions. This time the 9th International Korfball Federation World Championship.

Shaoxing was the site chosen, a city with over 2500 years.

These photos are from the old part of the city.



 

The details were wonderful.

Among the narrow streets we found this temple.

Healthy Transit :)

 
It was very easy to find the rigth way to go...
 
...and choose what to eat :)

The temptation was the haircut :)

A short visit between practices and Korfball games!

Wat Phra Kaeo

This royal chapel, situated in the country's capital (Bangkok), houses the most sacred temple in Thailand, the Temple of Emerald Buddha.

There are a number of structures that surround this area that are of extraordinary beauty.







Emerald Buddha.

A large part of the temple walls are painted with the history of the country. The detail of the paintings are incredible.

We had the opportunity to attend the rehabilitation of these paintings and realize the work they did.

It is the only chapel where Thai monks do not live, but they are out there :)

Bellagio

During the trip on Lago di Como we could stop in many places, but we only choose one...Bellagio :)
Lots of people said it was the best place to stop, the most beautiful. I think they were telling the truth :)
Approaching the port.

Lago di Como

The fourth stop in the North of Italy was Como to visit the third largest lake in Italy.
The adventure began by looking at the boat for the trip. A pleasant old model. The Concordia.
The images speak for themselves.
A happy traveler :)
