Buenos Aires
La Boca, a kind of tourist trap, but still nice to wander around. Via La Boca we went to Plazo de Mayo where we saw the tiny balcony where Evita Perron was spotted in early days. We walked along the streets and saw beautiful imposing houses and had a drink at cafe Tortoni, the oldest coffee shop in the world where we were had a glass of wine instead ;-)! We continued our way to the famous Recoleta cemetery and visited the family tomb of the Duarte’s. A beautiful cemetery.

Today we made the crossing from Argentina to Uruguay on the Colonia Express company’s boat. You have to make a reservation in advance for that boat trip! We went to the little village Colonia and we found it to be a boring place. But fortunately we discovered La Bohemia where we had a super delicious diner. Rain showers hampered us and we were bored for three hours in the terminal waiting for the boat back to Buenos Aires. A nice experience with interesting stamps in our passports but not really excited about Colonia in the end.

After a flight of thirteen-and-a-half-hours we arrived in Buenos Aires. The first time in Argentina for the both of us! We settled in to our room with connecting doors. After a short nap we went to a very nice spot. We entered a flower shop with a secret door that ends up in a great hip trendy restaurant: Floreria Atlantico. Great food, great wine and nice ambience!!! A beautiful hidden secret just behind our hotel. And a MUST to visit!

Lille
We visited the largest flea market in Europe, Braderie de Lille, which is held once a year for two days in Lille. We booked a room in the super beautiful mansion with the best spot: l’Esplanade. Just in front of the flea market. On that market you will find fantastic vintage stuff. Worth a visit! Finish your day by eating mussels at Aux Moules. At the end of each day there will be a large mountain of empty mussel shells next to the restaurant. A good indication of how many people love to eat mussels at Aux Moules!

Breakfast on Hermosa Beach followed by a photo shoot near the sea. We went to the Malibu Hills and visited Malibu café. An amazingly beautiful place. Vineyards on top of the mountains resulting in beautiful views during our trip. We drove back towards Torrance along the beautiful Pacific Coast Highway from Malibu to Santa Monica. We spent a few hours on the beach, enjoying that beautiful life we have.

Breakfast at Hermosa Beach where a lot of sporty people played volleyball on the beach. After watching we went to Rose Avenue in Venice Beach. This is a nice new upcoming street. We had lunch at Santa Monica Beach and got some sun and then browsed through vintage shops on Melrose Avenue. At Vinotique on Melrose we had a delicious diner in the garden. We wanted to go to an open air cinema, but even in Los Angeles it can rain sometimes. So unfortunately no viewing that night.

We love the big Apple. We went to Upper West Manhattan this time to the Green Flea Market which was fun. We made interesting small talk with the locals. One man who was selling vintage Cartier watches had the greatest slogan ever: “You are a victim of your own taste.” Worthy of being on a t-shirt! We went by subway to Brooklyn / Williamsburg and discovered beautiful new streets. We also visited a flea market. We enjoyed the wonderful weather, the superb atmosphere and the beautiful view over downtown from the other side of the water. We ended that day in the photo booth of the Ace Hotel. What fun was that!

We took the car and headed to the north via the Golden Gate and Sausalito. The coastal route was scenic and marvelous on our way to Stinson Beach. We had a picnic on the beach and enjoyed the sun. We even saw dolphins swimming in front of us, how cool was that! We crossed over to Oakland via Temescal Alley. We drove back over the Golden Gate to Sanfran again and went to Sunset Beach and had dinner at Outer Lands. The interior of Outer Lands is made out of driftwood. The food was a little bit disappointing but the ambiance was very cool though.
