Friday night and the lights are low, looking for a place to go ? Mamma Mia! come with me to Greece!

Today we’re not only going to follow our character’s steps, we are not only going to travel to Greece, we are also going to sing the best ABBA’s songs! As Mamma Mia is considered one of the best musicals of all times, we simply can’t rely only on locations! We have to feel this beat in our hearts, so no hesitation! Ladies and Gentelmen, GREECE!

If you’ve watched this movie, you probably remember the scene , in which Sam and Harry arrived in identical boats.This is where our trip begins. You can follow their steps, but I don’t recommand jumping into the boat after it has already set sail.

I can’t imagine more beautiful place to get married than this island. If you fancy being sorrounded by nature, sun shining delicately while you’re saying ‘yes’ this place is a must. The moment when Sophie gets married is magical, and I don’t know if its due to the whole scenario or due to the unusual wedding procedures, but who cares? It is indeed very beautiful and romantic. 

As this island is not a very popular one you can find many quiet places to rest, drink coktails or swim. But don’t forget about sunscreen, because during summer you can end up looking like a tomato rather than having golden brown suntan.

After all this sunbathing,swimming and resting the time has come to be a dancing queen! So free yourself, wear the most ridiculous clothes and join the party.

But if you will come to this island with friends, girlfriends to be precise, i think you don’t even need to go out. You can be a dancing queen inside as well!

Until next time!

Find a bond between this place and ...James Bond

Find a bond between this place and ...James Bond

Last Sunday I had great pleasure to watch the newest James Bond movie. And I wasn't sure if I should post this, but hey... so many facts about Spectre leaked out, that I don't feel guilty. And to be honest , today i want to tell you, or show you to be more precise , a place which was used in first 10 or 15 minutes... so what it is not a sin, is it? I've yet to see a better movie than this one. Everything in it was magnificent , including film locations. So today , we're going to celebrate death, we're going to dance while wearing skull-masks. Today we're going to Mexico!

In the newest James Bond movie the first couple of scenes happen during  El Día de Muertos which is the public holiday in Mexico established to remember about people's relatives who's passed away. You may now imagine mourning and crying but not this time,and not in Mexico . During this holiday people gather around Plaza de la Constitución to dance and cheer while wearing masks, costumes and holding giant skeletons.

So this time will be different, as I won't follow all of the movie's locations. I just wanted to recommend the Day Of The Dead as it is such a different event from the one we have in Poland featuring sugar skulls, the favorite foods and beverages left as gifts at the graves of the departed.

 

This post was created to make you remember about this particular event, which is , in my opinion, a perfect way to spend a day in Mexico, if you happen to be there during this festivities .

Next time we are going to a perfect place to rest before this Christmas hectic period!

So stay tuned,
