Brazil

Hello :)

How are you?

Today I want to describe a next country which is noteworthy for me. This time, It's Brazil, a country situated in South America. Carnival, dance, music, fun - these are my first associations with that place but there is, of course, many other things and places which are worth seeing. Let's start!

Amazonia

It's a region in South America which is situated in Amazon basin drained by the Amazon River. The majority of Amazonia is covered by Amazon Rainforest. This is the largest rainforest in the world with  a 5,500,000km2 area of dense tropical forest. That area is a paradise for a nature-lovers.

Brasilia

Brasilia is a capital city of Brazil. It's a modern city which a blueprint which bird's eye view looks like a flying aeroplane. That's amazing. There is many buildings worth to see, for example, cathedral, parliament or embassy.

Parliament

Diamantina

A city of gold diggers in East Brazil in Serra do Espinhaço mountains. Gold and diamonds were extracted there in the past.There are also many baroque monuments which are on UNESCO's World Heritage list.

Olinda

A city by the Atlantic Ocean in Pernambuco State. When you are there, you have an impression that the time has stopped many years ago... There are many gothic monuments, for example, a San Francisco de Paula Church or a monastery Nossa Senhora de Carmo. An attraction is a picturesque location on hills and beautiful beaches. It's a city for people who look for a calmness and enchanting life. You can also meet there many artists, listen to music and see local dances.

                                                                San Francisco de Paula

That's all for now. Hope you'll like it.

See you!

Dubai - part 2

Welcome back!

What’s up? Hope everything’s ok. Today I’ll finish my description about Dubai. I can’t wait!

Burj Khalifa

It’s the highest building in Dubai and on the world. This skyscraper counts 163 floors! The building has 829 metres heigh. The building was named in honour of the ruler of Abu Dhabi and president of the United Arab Emirates, Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan. Burj Khalifa was designed to be the centrepiece of a large-scale and the tower includes suites, hotels, swimming pool,  observation deck, mosque, restaurant, park, artificial lake and spectacular fountain. It’s also a part of Dubai Mall!

Dubai Marina

It’s  a district in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, an artificial canal city. We can find there lower and higher buildings, as well skyscrapers. Dubai Marina is going to be the biggest marina in the world. The is also a Princess Tower, the highest apartment building in the world. It counts 414 metres and 107 floors. There’s also a huge harbour which can seat even 700 ships!

Dubai is full of everything what is the highest, the biggest or the most expensive. All Dubai is “the most”. It’s a great place to visit. It could be one of the greatest expieriences in life. So, maybe one day…

That’s all about Dubai from me. There is so much more interesting places and curiosities but I’m not able to describe everything.

Dubai

Hello everyone!

How are you? I was thinking about my new post. It was dofficult to choose a place to describe for you but I hit on a new idea - Dubai, the capital city of luxury and a city of the future.
Dubai is situated on the United Arab Emirates. As you know, Dubai is famous of wealth, best cars, modern skyscrapers or gold. Two words: modernity and richness, a daydream. And, of course, beautiful architecture, great views and perfect weather. So, let's visit Dubai!

Palm Islands

It's a complex of three the biggest artificial islands on the world. They are in the form of palms. Those islands are destined for tourists and leisure. They look incredible, especially bird's-eye view. Islands exist since 2001.

They are called Palma Jumeriah, The World and The Universe.
On Palma Jumeirah you can find many hotels, houses, luxurious restaurants and many other attractions.

The World consists on 300 small islands which are creating a map of the world visible from the air.

The Universe looks like a Solar System and the Milky Way.

That's incredible, isn't it?

Dubai Mall

The biggest shopping centre on the world. A paradise for all shopaholics. Dubai Mall counts about 1200 shops and also centres of entertainment, coffee houses, restaurants etc. There is also a luxurious hotel witg 250 rooms, many cinemas or a fountain with waterfall... I can't write about it anymore. It is too amazing for me.

That's enough of luxury for today. To be continued next time. 

See you!

Tuscany - part 2

Welcome back! What’s up?

Today I’ll continue my description of that beautiful region of Italy. Hope you liked my last post. J

Florence

A pearl of Tuscany. Number One. Florence is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful cities in Italy. It’s a treasure of art. Charming monuments, avenues, wonderful atmosphere and vues are available for everyone. Ponte Vecchio (an old bridge) is one of the most famous places in Florence – the first wooden bridge (many centuries ago), now this bridge is made of stone. It’s the only one bridge in Florence who has survived the Second World War.

Elba

Elba is an island – one of the biggest in Italy. There is a National Park so that island is protected. It’s a historical place but not only. It’s a perfect place for tourists who want to have a great and relaxing holidays. The coast is varied and there are always very warm.

That’s all about an incredible Tuscany from me. In the end I would like to recommend you a great film where you can see the beauties of Tuscany’s nature – “Under the Tuscan Sun” by Audrey Wells (2003). I think you’ll love it.

See you soon J
