PHOTO POST: insta memories {3}

Instagram post number 3 - an overview over what has been happening in November. When you get busier & busier in daily life, instagram is such a welcome distraction. It also is perfect to remember certain little moments in life & capture them with photos. A little recommendation - if you're in Vienna - the current exhibitions at the Albertina and the MUMOK are simply amazing!!! Definitely worth a visit ;)
Looking forward to all the Christkindlmarkets (christmas markets) in December all around the city, which will hopefully brighten up the gloomy weather! :)

You have probably already seen the photos from Felix's amazing trip to America - if not you can catch up on it here!

And now it's time for me to share my summer travelling experience which has been in Northern France this year. I just came back yesterday and the memories are still fresh and overwhelming! I was extremely lucky to actually get so many sunny shots, as usually summer in the Bretagne is pretty much non-existent.

I stayed at a hotel in Roscoff and travelled by train to discover some cities nearby. 

Roscoff itself was extremely charming, with beautiful views of the sea, and the restaurants were to die for!!! Fresh sea food and fish made every lunch or dinner a huge & delicious feast!! :D

St. Pol de Leon, Morlaix and Dinan - such cute and antique looking cities, typical examples of the architecture of the region. Most of the houses there are built out of stones and with wooden details.

And of course Rennes, the capital of the Bretagne, serves as the perfect combination of antique elements in the city centre, and a more modern part - definitely worth a visit as well!!!

Have any of you ever been to that part of France? Or maybe even visited the same cities? I'd love to hear about your experiences :)

discovering Roscoff and the harbor on the first day of the trip

cute little streets of Roscoff, creperies on each and every corner luring you inside with all the delicious smells!! ^^

the next trip was to Morlaix - "hotel de ville"

another trip the next day - to antique and medieval looking Dinan

visiting Rennes - typical wooden houses in the city centre

the contrasting sides of Rennes - classical architecture in the city centre & skyscrapers in the background

the next trip was to an island near Roscoff - Ile de Batz

view over the houses on the island

just spent hours & hours walking around there and enjoying the incredible scenery!!

and this is what the incredible sunrises looked like I woke up to every morning thanks to the seaview right outside the hotel room window

Finally the holidays have arrived!! I don't know about you but I'm incredibly excited about it :) 

Being able to enjoy the sun and the heat, going shopping, just strolling around throgh the streets and eating ice cream - perfect relaxation! And a really deserved one too, after weeks and weeks of studying for final exams at university..

Right now I'm visiting a friend in Salzburg (a small city in Austria which is probably most famous for being the place where Mozart was born ^^), which is just a 3 hour train ride away from Vienna. To me, simply cute, cozy and yet extremely beautiful - here are a few snapshots I took while discovering the city by myself on the first day arriving here.

Hope you're enjoying the beginning of the summer holidays just as much!! :)
