Plaia D'El Rey

I'm a big fan of hospitality and all these things, so how could I skip a little post about my hotel.

I stayed in Marriott chaine hotel which is 20 mins drive from Obidos. The territory of the hotel is HUGE! In 5 days i still didn't explore the most part of it.
The hotel is not really big - less than 200 rooms- 2 floors + 3 swimming pools, gym and different restaurants. Talking about food, the breakfast was cheap and i was always full after it!

Usually i didn't have lunch (got some snacks in the room), but for the diner i went downstairs or ordered room service but about this i will write later there are no more restaurants outside the hotel territory (or if you want you can take a car to Obidos, but there i faced some really weird problems).

I booked a room facing a golf field, but i was surprised to get upgrade - a room with an ocean view! I arrived when it was dark outside, but i could hear the sound of waves... It was incredible feeling!
Also i booked a room for two with one bed, but my friend couldn't make it , so i had to go by myself. I was surprised to see 2 spacious beds in the room....

which one too choose...?

 Also some little details of my room

But the best thing (not counting amazing bed and great TV) was the view! When i woke up next morning around 7 am, when the sun was rising i saw this...

After breakfast i decided to stroll the beach... It was amazing!

Near it i found a golf field. For the first time i saw people playing this game...

During the day i couldn't stop looking outside...

What can be better than eating Marriott Burger looking at the ocean...?

Some pics of the hotel.

P.S. i was really surprised to receive guest survey on this hotel. Of course, I answered it!

la fin de mes vacances

back home

one crazy day

Today is the day of my departure!  Finally I was leaving Moscow.  With a short stop in Amsterdam (but I thought it would be enough to wander the city).
First of all, we've got lost on the way to the airport.  My godmother decided to give me a ride. Well, what else can you expect from 3 blondes ?:)
I was so scared to be late for the flight. But we arrived just in time!

Fell asleep in the plane (absolutely didn't plan it).
The weather was really promissing in Amsterdam and I thought "why should I stay here?"

I bought a ticket and... get on the wrong train. I realised it when I was 7 stops away from the airport. Good girl! As a result I didn't have time to get to the city center... the hardest thing was to get back, cause their timetable was in dutch. P.s.i can't read it.

After all I jumped on another train and...got back to the airport.

Next time I will think twice before leaving the airport. Cause who knew that they got great lounge with a nice view and Starbucks coffee.

The next flight was to Lisbon. I feel in love with the city!!! So colourful , so sunny! It was hard to find the metro, but on my way I saw ....an ocean! For the first time!

Finally, I found the metro. It was easy to buy a ticket. The station is new and really nice. Reminded me of Parisian metro. But one thing you should know in the metro -trains are twice shorter than the platform! So sometimes you have to run after the train just to get inside.

Less than 30 mins and I arrived to the metro station from which there is a fast bus -rapida.

Who knew that it would be that hard to find the station, cause there were soooo many buses and nobody knew "anything about rapida". Amazing! +my bag opened and I couldn't close it (thanks for transportation!)
Finally I found the station which was just under the bridge.

One hour ride and here I was in ... Obidos. It got dark. My bag was still opened. It was colder than during the day time... and no sign of taxi! Lucky am I!

Hungry, alone in Portugal and not many people speaks English... somehow I asked a woman to order the taxi. 15 mins later arrived a driver. Using mimic I explained him that I wanted to stop near supermarket. 5 mins later we had that stop. I decided to leave my bags in that car *sooo wise!
I entered the supermarket and had no idea what I wanted to buy. Bought not so many things. Ran outside and ... there was no car! Later found out that he just parked it some metres away from the entrance.
Finally, I was on the way to the hotel!!! So happy to get here and know that I have a room with an ocean view!!! So strange to fall asleep hearing the sound of waves, but I like it!

Tchau!

less than 30h before my flight.

i still haven't started packing

a bit nerveous. my first time in Portugal. in a small town.

but i'm taking my camera, so it should be fun :)

i don't know what i want to see in Lisbon or Obidos, i don't know what i want to try... i don't know what sort of weather is there...

but i desperately hope that it will be fun! i won't think too much, i will just relax...

swimming pools, restaurants, ocean view and loads of music!

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween,

booooo!

getting ready for Halloween

I know that Halloween is not a Russian holiday, but every year i can't wait to get all dressed up for it! Lots of fake blood, short dresses, purple hair and etc... a some sort of way to escape from the reality...
As usual all our preparations went not the right way - how can you find a free place in some cafe or restaurant when it's Saturday night... We plannaed to go to "Mexican haloween", but now we are going somewhere else no idea where exactly
But i was thinking about my outfit for a couple of months.
Last year I was a dead body - all covered with blood and scares + purple hair

It was soo much fun! There were so many people with us and we had so many shots of tequilla lol
This year i decided to combine some "styles". but, comme d'habitude, i don't know with what i will end
About make-up: i always fancy "half-face make-up" idea. I already tried and it looks gorgeous!

About my hair style... as usual : purple or red hair with white mask on the side.
About my oufit: I was inspired by old song by Aslee Simpson.

You make me wanna la la

In the kitchen on the floor

I'll be a French maid

When I meet you at the door

crazy, innit

So there will be a costume of French maid. 

But i don't want to make it too sexy. I found some details in arte shop . I love it! You can find there some cheap details or if you want the whole outfit. 

So generally my costume was rather cheap - just 5 $... 

I hope that tomorrow i will be able to recreate the whole outfit.

Alsmost forgot. The greatest thing to inspire for this outfit is the film "4 rooms" . Frankly speaking, i haven't seen it, but pretty sure that it's worth seeing ;)

 

Happy halloween, boys and girls!
