Berlin - Part I: Modern and Urban

There's always two sides to everything, right ? Berlin can be the same. This city is not for everyone, but it has a special soul, and even if this sounds cliché, it has a hidden story around every corner. So I thought it would interesting to divide up two very different sides of Berlin: 
The urban and the new, and the old and preserved.

Where Frank Sinatra Seems the Most Appropriate

If any of you guys follow my instagram , or have seen my last post , you will know that my cousin Laura and I went to... NEW YORK NEW YORK  You will probably also know it's been over a week since I got back and... Haven't posted any photos.  Now the pictures I did take obviously don't document everything I did, mostly because the museums, galleries and shows I went to had rules and I wasn't allowed to photograph once inside the premises. However for the stuff my real camera missed, I have my sneaky instagram treasures...So check it out for more – if you haven't already !  So without further a do, please let the pictures speak for themselves.  xx Margot Ana  Central Park Top of the Rock & Chrysler Building  Greenwich Village  Eataly  Last rainy day in NYC... *All photos and content ...

Norge - Part II: Hiking and Attempting the Almost Impossible

Image
I just want to stress that I am terrified of heights, and as serene as the scenery may look, don't be fooled, getting to the top and hiking the whole trail is much harder than you may think. If you've done it, you know what I mean ! Also, the weather was lovely, the sun was shining and the sky was blue, but don't be tricked into thinking the weather was warm...It was very cold, especially the further you travel in altitude. It was a glacial area, there is snow on the mountains around us that never melt due to the weather. The mountains themselves are bare, no trees or shrubs, the climate up there is too rough for any vegetation (this becomes more evident as we climb higher and higher). The start of our hike. And we're off ! © Copyright Margot Alais The grass on the roof of the hut keeps it warm and insulated © Copyright Margot A lais A glacial lake and a mountainous backdrop © Copyright Margot Alais I wasn't kidding about the snow © Copyright M...

The Age-Old Ritual of Brunch

Image
Surprise surprise to all my readers, I'm in Canada...Margot traveling to a new place, how unheard of.  I did a thing on Sunday (yes, a thing!) and went to a buffet brunch (yes, a buffet!) to basically test the limits of my appetite – I actually realised I can, contrary to popular belief, reach a point where my appetite subsides, so that's fun.  The place we went to for brunch is at an old mill, and has gushing water alongside it, which is surprisingly appeasing and peaceful despite the violent currents. I think it would be more due to the fact that the inside was so cosy and warm, all finished in wood and just homey. My grandmother and I are visiting our family who lives in Ottawa, so we have our own free tour guides (I pay them in too many hugs).  We visited the little village around the mill too, which is along a beautiful lake. There were heaps of cute little stores and bakeries and, just across the lake, up in the hills and forest, you could see bea...
