So, my dears, do you still manage to follow me – from Switzerland to Israel and back?:) Just a quick remind: you can always find latest photos in my Instagram: @thestylejungle_marieclaireru. There is very sunny there right now, so if you want to switch conditions, you are warmly welcomed to watch this winter video from the wonderful Arosa.
You can’t even imagine how jealous I was, when my colleague went to Israel desert for a yoga! Most of all I was jealous of the “Israel” part, cause this country totallyblew my mind away last spring with its outstanding authentiсity, incredibly wonderful nature and, it goes without saying, delicious food. So I just couldn’t believe my eyes when suddenly received an invitation to spend a week here from the IsraelMinistry of Tourism. All I wanted to do that moment – is immediately jump into the plane and leave everything behind! But a long month of waiting and anticipation past before I got final approval from them. Seems like my strong anticipation ruined all my plans for strong emotions here, so during my first day in Jerusalem I was really calm and completely un-emotional.
But that wascertainly just the beginning:) And all the best was kept for the dessert. Imean, for lunch, which we had in a wonderful local restaurant MachneYuda (or “Yuda’s Camp”), where I dived into an atmosphere of bright colors, feelings and tastes, I needed!
There should have been surely a story behind the 5-star hotel in a world famous ski resort, built in 1913 and richly decorated, don’t you think? And there is such a story in Carlton, situated in St.Moritz.This legend is being strongly kept and cultivated for many years here already. Despite the irony of the heads, despite the fully renovation under the leadership of Carlo Rampazzi in 2006-2007 years, despite the fact, that there are only 5 years between the year this building appeared and the death of Nikolay the II, for whom it according to the legend was made..
So how does the tsar residence looks today? I’m gonna show you!
That is how handsome the life in Switzerland can be! Well, not for everybody, of course, but for those who live and work in Arosa, that is 3 hours by train away from Zurich and 1 700 meters above the sea level (all the anders, I bet, do not complain as well). I was lucky to visit this place thanks to the invitation of the Tschuggen Grand Hotel. This journey had completely changed my opinion about the winter holidays. Honestly, I was always a type of person, preferring summer beaches to snowy mountains ( really feel like having enough snow for half a year here in Moscow). Th first surprise I discovered was that actually it’s not really cold in mountains. I even got tanned:) So it was an absolutely new way to have rest and an incredible enjoyment. .
After we arrived, I had a little time for a walk through the city and the next day we went to the mountains, so today I’m going to show you some photos of the wonderful views I managed to do those days.
Well, I told you, that New Year officially starts after the 11th of January:) And here I am, sitting at the airport at 7 a.m., writting new blog post. I just can’t resist this stereotype of a girl, sitting with her laptop and coffee in front of the airplanes… Posts, made before flights, are becoming more and more frequent here! At least, I’m not sitting in front of the window with my hair curled, writting those inverted phrases, imagining my inner Bradshow coming out:) And in order you are not bored here without me (I really love to think it’s possible!), I’m going to tell you about the must-read book.
When I’m saying I’m in love with food I literally mean it. Alesha sometimes thinks I have an addiction, like from drugs:) ‘m one of those eating tasty dish till the end even if they are about to burst.
And because of that we could have never skipped an invitation from London restaurant CUT for a dinner, despite the fact we were so tired that day that only wanted to stay in room and lie on a bad. Despite even the fact I don’t eat meat and CUT is a steakhouse:)
Let’s be honest, officialy new year starts only after the 12th of January and now we are all free to do only what we enjoy, to relax and, of course, once more remember the best moments of 2014. We with Alesha sorted out some of photos made last year with our GoPro camera and it turned out we still have lots of them never shown. So now I’m going to fix this situation and show you about 100 photos that mean so much to us.:)
