Fuerteventura - the windy canary island

It was October. It was getting colder in Switzerland. Winter was knocking on the door. I don't like that. I prefer warmer temperatures as you can imagine ;-) So I decided to go for some more degrees of celcius. We, my girlfriend and me, took the plane for Fuerteventura. It's the second biggest island of the canaries. Surrounded be a wonderful beach it's in the Atlantic Ocean just a few hundred kilometres in front of Morocco.
What can you do there? We didn't went there for Kiting or Surfing, nor for bathing, or biking. We went there to enjoy temperatures over 20 degres. Every day we went for a nice walk on the beach. Just wonderful!
We stayed at Melia Gorriones near Costa Calma. I really can recomend this Hotel. Nice rooms (casas del Mar), good service, a nice and very spacious garden with a pool and the most important thing: almost excellent food!!! 
But look for yourselfe

a good week in tuscany

It has been a long time since I wrote the last time. Yes, that's right the swiss way of life 's got me back. Working all day in an office where is now sand and no water. It's a big difference.
But lukily they have to give me at least 5 weeks off :-) During the last week off I took a change and went to a small little village near Florence in Italy.
This week included playing tennis, swimming in the pool, eating great food and drinking, let's call it drinking wine.... You know what? That is life. Doing whatever you want whenever. But you have to see that for yourselve or just book one of these beautiful villas in Tuscany

Colombo fever goes Doha pearl

thank you for reading this blog. But soon you have to find another blog to read. In 18 hours I take my plane to Doha. There I will have a look at the works for the Football World Cup. I gonna check if they do a good job. I will stay at Doha Pearl to taste the Arabic Riviera life.
How comes? Well when I was in Colombo I met the boss of Doha Tourism. We were talking for hours and hours having beer after beer and he told me that they would have some problems with this project (Pearl) So I will be the trouble shooter and help them out.I will get a superb salary and a house on this small island you can see at picture 32 my home

So after this one hour 45 minutes dream at Doha airport I have my connecting flight to Zurich. So Switzerland be prepaired. I 'll  be back on Feb 19th 2011.

an island for big city life

hi folks

yes its true something is happening in my life. There is a big change in my life. Its probably the biggest change I've ever had. But I start from the beginning.

I quited my job on Vakarufalhi on Feb 5^th and flew directly to Colombo, Sri Lanka. It's a one and half hour flight to this whole different life.

Here's a list of things that changed in my life:

• I can't see the end of the island anymore
• there are a lot of people
• the hotel I'm staying has a pool
• the main spoken language is english (not Italian as before)
• there are streets, cars, and even some trains
• the biggest change is: I sometimes have to wear shoes!!!!!!

Lindli of Colombo

Colombo or Mount Lavinia is a nice place. It's so different than Maldives of course. I like this city. I'm feeling at home. No worries I'm not staying my whole life here. I'm coming back soon. But first I like to feed you with some pictures.....
