When life gives you crap, grow a garden!😁
.
Like they did on the roof of Warsaw University Library in...well, Warsaw, Poland.
.
SAVE this post for a hidden gem location❗️
.
This 1 hectare area garden is one of the largest roof gardens in Europe and it's a super cool place to visit. You can easily spend a few hours there, walking around and admiring all the plants, flowers, sculptures and a fish pond where if you're lucky you can even spot ducks. It's also a perfect place for some chilling time after a busy day of sightseeing Warsaw or even for having lunch or a snack or anything you decide to bring - there's no restaurant or café there.
.
But the best part - since it's a roof garden - are the views! From one side, you can admire the Warsaw skyline, from the other, the Vistula river with all its bridges. I really recommend going there for sunset.
.
And the second best part - the entrance is free.
During summer the garden is open form 9am to 8pm.
.
Are you a plant person? Do you like growing and taking care of plants and flowers?

Secret - something you tell everybody to tell nobo

Secret - something you tell everybody to tell nobody.😛
.
So I can tell you a little secret, but you can't tell it to anyone...Ok, actually, you can, because thanks to Instagram this super hidden gem in London is not a secret anymore.
.
What was secretive to me, was its location though. Never checking where super Instagrammable St Dunstan in the East Church Garden is, I though it was somewhere on the outskirts of London. How surprised I was when during our crazy London walk, @solarpoweredblonde said that we were close to this hidden gem and we could check it out.
.
Not far from the Tower of London from the east and Sky Garden from the North, only a few steps to River Thames on the south and...I don't know what's on the west, but you get my point, St Dunstan Gardens are super central. And they're really super pretty. You can find some peace there from the hectic London life, have lunch while looking at some greenery or walk around and take some photos.😊 But no matter what time you go there, I must warn you, there will be competition, because it is a super popular photoshoot location.
.
Btw if you're going there for pictures, go in the morning, or evening or on a not super sunny day. We were there on a super hot and sunny day and the backlight made it so hard to edit this photo. If it wasn't so bright, you could have seen The Shard in the background.
.
Are there any hidden gems where you live?

Never make the same mistake twice. There are so ma

Never make the same mistake twice.
There are so many new ones. Why not try a different one each day?😁
.
So let me tell you how not to repeat the mistake we made when visiting this stunning location, so you can get creative and make your own ones.😉
.
Like with a lot of cool places in the Dolomites, there was one problem with visiting this one - parking! Not finding any useful information on what's the best way to get to St. Valentin Chapel by car, we had to park in someone's private parking. Basically in front of someone's house. Ok, but it was only for 10 min tops and even with Matt getting stressed and screaming at me😛 the views were totally worth it! Just look at that!
.
So how do you get this stunning place by car?
SAVE for later❗️
The answer is: you can't!
.
✅After doing proper research it turns out the the best way to visit this chapel is to park your car in the town called Seis am Schlern/Siusi allo Sciliar at the parking called: Parcheggio "via Laurino", find a brick-paved trail and follow the signs to the chapel. Apparently you can find the signposts to this chapel all over the town, with one starting not far from the town post office and you can't really miss it.
Swipe left to see the map!
.
✅People usually combine their visit to the chapel with a trip to Alpe di Siusi/Seiser Alm, so ultimately you can leave you car at the huge Seiser Alm Cable Car parking and walk to the chapel from there. But you'll still have to go through Seis am Schlern town and in the end it's going to be around 30 min walk one way.
Swipe double left to see that map😉
.
What mistakes are you planning on making this week?🤣

I like big boats and I cannot lie🎶😁
.
If you like to row or you have someone who can do it for you, renting a boat on Lago di Braies is a must. Ok, maybe not a must, because it depends on your budget, but it's definitely super fun and will complete your visit on the "Pearl of the Dolomite Lakes".
.
What do you have to know about renting a boat at Lago di Braies?
SAVE this for later❗️
✅it costs 19€ per 30 min and 29€ per hour. Although if you're not an Olympic rower, I'd say you won't get very far in 30 min. Leaving the pier might take 5 min itself. But the good news is that the price can be divided between 4 ppl - this is how many are allowed in one boat.
✅opening hours...ok, here I'm not sure tbh. The official website says that the boat rental is open: from mid May until the end of October.
May/June/September/October: 10-17
July/August: 8.30-18.30.
Although we were there in June and the rental opened at 9am. So keep in mind that they can open earlier.
✅no in advance boat reservations are possible - you just show up and take one.
✅if you want a private photoshoot on the pier or in a boat you can make a one hour reservation in the morning. The price: 150€. And as beautiful as this lake is, I'd say it's not worth it. Ok, unless you're a super professional photographer. But you can take equally beautiful shots from the shore and then later from the boat when boat rental is open to the public.
✅roll yourself in sun block before you go. Water + sun...you know the drill. Plus it gets super super hot when you're in the middle of the lake.
✅ok, last thing for little cheaters like me 😛 being too far into the lake and not realizing what time it was, we spent almost 1,5h in this boat . Plus I can only row that fast and Matthew didn't want to help.😛 but, my point is, that they weren't very strict about the time. We didn't have to pay for those extra.😉
.
Would you row there yourself or you'd find someone who'd be doing that for you?

💉ated!
But I still want some of you to stay away from me!
.
I saw this quote on a t-shirt and I'm 100% getting it.😁
Plus of course not YOU guys, just the general public.😛
.
So yes, today we got our second 💉
I hope it's obvious what I mean. I don't want to write this word, to avoid this v notification under my post. Let's see how smart Insta is.
.
Tbh back in the winter I wasn't thrilled about getting it. Later I just wanted to get it for travel purposes. But now when England is easing all the restrictions with 40k+ daily cases (yes, you heard me!), I'm kinda glad that I will have this extra protection for myself and others.
.
And yes, I hope it will make travelling easier. For now, it seems like it, so let's hope it will stay like this. Although, it's disappointing that even though 💉isn't compulsory, the "segregation" for v-ated and not v-ated is getting more obvious. What if someone really can't have it?
.
Anyway, let's hope everything will be better from now on.
Have a nice weekend and switch your chilling mode on!
Peace out.😚
.
Ohh btw this photo was taken in Słowiński National Park in Poland. The park with moving dunes. Kinda like this apocalyptic vibe.😉

Do not use the reflection of this lake to check yourself out! . Hey you, mountain, did you hear me? Apparently it's very into itself, because it just can't stop starring at itself.😛 . I know it's very lame, but didn't find any other funny thing with "reflection".😁 . But yes, the reflection is probably what makes Lago di Braies so awesome Well, one of the things. . I couldn't believe it when we finally got to visit this place. Yes, it's a total Insta spot, but it’s also more than that. It's gorgeous! The reflection, the clear water, the boats, the air, the mountains, the trees...So so pretty. . There are a few things you have to consider and remember when visiting Lago di Braies. So SAVE this post for the future☝️ ✅go super early! And not only for an Insta pic. The earlier you go, the longer you'll have this place to yourself and you'll be able to enjoy the peace and quiet it provides. Furthermore, this perfect reflection is only spottable in the morning, because of the position of the sun and the fact that nothing disturbs the lake. And of course you'll avoid the crowds, because yes, the crowds will show up. ✅the boat rental opens at 9 am, costs 19€ for 30 min, 29€ for 60min. ✅do not climb over the barriers or go into the lake for this perfect Insta shot! I was disappointed, that the famous piers reaching out into the lake were not there. I think the only way you can have a photo like that, is to book a private photoshoot for 150€/hour and then you can access this lake hut before everyone and stand on the pier. Otherwise it’s closed until the boat rental opens and then it's full of people. ✅take a wide angle lens to fit everything in a picture. ✅there's a huge car park, paid per hour, BUT I heard that it also get busy during the day. ✅even with Italian high temperatures, it was quite chilly there in the morning. . Have you visited Lago di Braies? Did you like? Or if you didn't, would you like to visit?
