Kids kept asking me if I am excited and ready to receive my present. Not wanting to kill their mojo, I said yes of course before I checked google to know what the ocassion is. Mother’s day and similar holidays are so commercialized that somehow it becomes a joke. Good thing my kids does not…
Found this 3-bedroom apartment just some steps away from the famous Metz Cathedral through Booking.com and it was perfect for us 4 and my parents. Place was huge, comfortable, clean and was set up to make the guests happy as possible. I mean, umbrellas are available for the rainy days, some toys for the kids…
If you like fishing, the Azores is like paradise. The fishing permit is cheap (e.g. 10-day sea fishing costs only 103 cents), but the possibility and availability cannot be compared with Germany and maybe also with the Philippines and Thailand.
