Long journey

Hey everyone,


Welcome back to my blog. This time I will take you on a long journey far away. Because... I went to Bali! But to get there you have to travel almost 30 hours. That is why firstly I will tell you how to get there. My journey started in Warsaw and my first flight went to Doha in Qatar. For me it was the first time I flew with Qatar airways and I had the luck to get a brand new airplane. Even it was only economy class, I felt like in the first class. Huge seats with a lot of space, great food and drinks, the newest multimedia and a perfect service made this 6 hours flight feel like a short trip. In Doha, I had to wait about 4 hours for my flight to Denpasar/Bali. The Airport in Doha is one of the best , the biggest and the newest in the world. You can buy there everything you want, especially a lot of gold of course. After the 4 hours of waiting, I went on the second part of the journey. The 11 hours flight from Doha to Denpasar. It was also a Qatar Airways flight, not the modern airplane as it was on the first flight but still a very good airplane with good multimedia, food and service. If you go on a long journey, I really recommend Qatar Airways. After the 11 hours flight I finally arrived at Denpasar.  My hotel send me a driver so I went very fast to the hotel to finally rest after about 28 hours of travelling.

In the next episodes, I will tell you what I experienced on Bali.

Spanish food

Hello everyone,

As I said last time, this post will be about Spanish and Andalusian food and drinks.

On my holidays I had an opportunity to try various snacks, meals and drinks. A very popular meal especially for the hot summer days is the Andalusian gazpacho - a cold soup made from vegetables like tomato cucumber and pepper. It´s very tasty and refreshing and a perfect snack or starter. Another good starter or bigger snack are patatas bravas. Backed potatoes with spices and topped with mayo in a hot sauce. You have to try it. :)

Of course as the typical Spanish Main meal, there is the paella. A meal made in a huge pan with rice and fish or meat and vegetables. There are many different paellas. The original paella comes from Valencia and is the paella valenciana it is made with rabbit meat.
In Spain, there is a little bit different tradition with lunch and dinner. Spanish people love to share food and eat together and they eat very late. So they meet in the evening to eat together many various meals and a lot of snacks called tapas (shrimps, octopus, squids- if you are a fan of seafood, you must go there!)

Spain is very famous for good wines especially red wine. But of course a lot of people also know Sangria as a typical Spanish drink. I can also recommend you tino de verano. It is similar to sangria because it is also based on red wine.

Moreover, beer is very famous in Spain and in Andalusia, there are two very big breweries. The first is San Miguel form Malaga and the second is Cruzcampo from Sevilla. Both are lager beers and perfect for an evening at a typical Spanish tapas bar.

This was the last part of my story about Andalusia and Spain but watch out for my next blogs and my stories about my next trips.

Bye
