They have great iced coffee, waffles, eggs, sandwiches and salads –… Read More 3 days in Paris – June 2016. Recap.

For my birthday last week I bought myself tickets to Milan for a short weekend trip. It was my 3rd time in Italy and first visit to Milan.

I… Read More Bonn. The cherryblossom street.
