Heya people! It's still all about travelling! I was planning to write one more post on my road trip in November and here it finally is.
So in my last entry we left Žilina, Strečno Castle and Slovakia and went to visit their neighbours, Czech Republic. Ah, Češka ... I love that country. This time we stayed only a little bit and planned only to spoil ourselves in the wonderful spa of Savannah hotel. O-M-G! Savannah is an amazing hotel. They spoil you SO much, the rooms are amazing, the staff is amazing, the food is amazing, everything is so good! It's the hotel I'd gladly pay full price for, even if we didn't have the certificate. I totally recommend it, you won't be sorry. It's basically on the border with Austria, you get the feeling it's made just for Austrians, to go spoil themselves abroad. Next to it is a giant complex of stores of basically everything, from food to jewellery. We went only to one, there were just too many of them and we didn't want to lose time there. But Savannah is amazing for relaxation, really. We spend the day like kings, by luck we had the pool for ourselves, and very few people were at sauna, and the day ended with the most amazing dinner. After few days of hectic travelling that felt really good.
The washbowl in the bathroom. Doesn't it look awesome? Marble mani in these colours would be neat. ;)
We visited Znojmo the next day, for a short while, we didn't have much time anymore. We went to Albert, one of the bigger stores there, for Czech beer and Krivoklatska mead, because they simply rock. And something else. Tea!! Loads of tea! For some odd reason we don't have the choice of tea they have in Slovakia or Czech republic. It sucks, because I LOVE tea and so I piled it throughout entire travelling. This is what I brought home.
And so we went to Austria, Vienna, where *the* concert of this travel occurred, Saxon on a tour with Anvil, I couldn't wait to see them! Although at first I wanted to go for Anvil, after a few weeks I couldn't wait for Saxon too, their music is fantastic, not to mention their energy on stage is simply ... beyond awesome. Really, to this day only Primordial could mesmerise me so much as Saxon did. Awesome, awesome concert! And don't get me wrong, Anvil were really great too, I just regreted their very short set list, they skipped some great songs.
BTW, if you're in Vienna, I recommend hotel roomz. Cheap for Vienna and very nice! We had like 10 min walk to the concert place, great location, it's rather close to the city centre too.
So yeah ... the concert was so amazing, we came to hotel, almost missed the check-out in the morning (we're the definition of a not-morning person, especially after a concert the night before) and headed for Slovenia.
It was beyond awesome, seriously. I'm in a better mood if i just think about that trip. I have the best boyfriend in the world, have I ever mentioned that? Thanks for everything, dearest. :*
Any thoughts on this entry or on road trip in general, any favourites, any places/hotels you saw differently if/when you visited them?
KarenD, I'm really glad that you do! :) And of course, if you get the chance, Europe is beautiful, especially for historic geeks such as myself. :)
Until this very moment I thought the name of the polish was Good Gold Buffy. Hah. Go figure. I continue with my Essence mani's, because, frankly, Essence doesn't get enough love on my blog. I was cleaning up my stash last night and I realised I have a lot of Essence that I really like, but I just never show them to you. Same goes for Gold Old Buffy. This colour is incredible. One of the best colours Essence ever made, in one of the strongest LE they ever did, Vampire's Love. You've seen it all before and I loved the swatches of this baby. Still, it took me months to wear it, so the swatches are late, but maybe they'll remind you you have this beauty in your stash and you haven't worn it since the LE came out. ;)
Three coats for this beauty, I can't remember why, really, perhaps I wanted to make the colour even richer. The formula was flawless, so was the brush. Amazing polish, really. It reminds me of China Glaze Wagon Trail, but being a better version of it. Since I had an enormous crush on Wagon Trail, that's saying something!
Anyway. I hope you got at least this colour from Vampire's Love TE. It's gorgeous! Or do you prefer other shades from this collection?
Gold Old Buffy... no, I'll never forget this polish... every time I see it, I immediately get the flashback of a drop of this polish on my favorite sweat pants... it ruined them, but true, the color of the polish is gorgeous (on nails!) ;)
Oh, that sucks! Nail polish ruining your favourite pants! I hate it when I connect a nail polish to something bad that happened to me. But then again, some polish reminds me of awesome moments of my life, so I guess it's worth it? :)
