The city park of Antwerp

The city park of Antwerp is not big but very cosy. Many old trees create nice quiet atmosphere. Yong people can play soccer here. Older people enjoy reading newspapers and books. There are a lot of rabits, ducks and white and black swans. It is really surprising how they can survive in the middle of such a busy and noisy city.

These pictures are from Island in Atlantic ocean named Ille De Ree.
It is very lovely place with lot of nature, seafood and oysters.

Dordogne, France

These pictures are from our next stop in Dordogne region, where we went for canoe ride, but we also picked some mushrooms and saw some butterflies.
Following picks are from Le Puy Mary, the mountain is 1787 m. It is in hilly area in the middle south part of France.
The weather that day  did not allow us to see very far, but it was still pretty amazing experience.
I can recommend to anyone, especially to try local dish with regional cheese after you made it to the peak. It tastes great.
One of our last days of our La douce France trip we made a 4,5 hour walk around the lake in Montigny en Morvan country side.
It was beatiful weather and we found some pretty green creatures (grasshoppers) on the way.
