Get up and move

This just makes me wanna roll out my mat no matter what.

In a blah state of mind, I just stumbled upon this website and this got me so revved up that I think I will now do some hardcore Pilates.

Arrrrgghhh Miss Sinister

Luck would have it...

Good morning world! This morning we were treated to a bush breakfast!

Bush breakfast=a bush(preferably a Serengeti one)+a view(preferably a 360 degrees, breathtaking one)+a cook(one that can make french pancakes on top of a electricity lacking hill)+3 eager Europeans(one Sinisterly excited, one Mysteriously happy, one used to it Director).

A recipe for success!

Minus me stepping twice...yes you read that right - twice, in elephant dung. On a hill. With no running water. 

You know what they say. Stepping on ... brings good luck. I now have an elephant sized luck for at least a couple of months!

Kiss and Peace

Took a walk on the wild side

Crazy day yesterday! 2 dozen lions, more elephants than one can imagine, gazelles, zembras, wildabeast, buffaloes and pretty much the entire bird section of the encyclopedia made for some awesome photos!

All of that pilates really turned out to be useful since the road is the equivalent of the Grand Canyon in the Serengeti. Rock on Cassey Ho!

Another great surprise was the camp where we are staying. Set atop a hill we have a breathtaking view that is presided by a large group of wildabeast while behind us are some zebras, some more wildabeast and one solitary gazelle. Mystery took great joy in scaring the last half to death this morning when he stepped out of our tent wearing a bright blue jacket! Way to blend in,huh?!

The food here has been amazing and I think the camp owners might have secretly abducted Gordon Ramsey and are helding him hostage. The food has been that good!

Today they promised pasta. Maybe they also have Moreno Cedroni in there.

Today I had a very interesting chat about hippies.

Tomorrow I'm going to teach the camp staff some pilates. 

Kiss and Peace

Excited Miss Sinister

Go Go Go time!

KAnd we're in the Serengeti!! Woke up in Arusha at our friend's house, drove to airport, had a cold muffin and two espressos for breakfast, got on airplane, flew over Lake Manyara, Ngorogoro crater and just landed in the Serengeti. Time to take some photos!!

African adventures

After 7 (to be read an eternity) hours on board a large airplane with limited leg room, I want a coffee, an organic orange juice and blueberry muffin. I'm in Addis Ababa aka where airport came to die. Our African week begins with swollen knees, no decent coffee, very good ethiopean tea, Ebola screenings and a whole lot of healthy enthusiasm!!!

Mystery slept like a baby and is now frantically roaming the airport in search of a smoking room. He already smoked one in the waiting lobby before I pointed out the blatant (to be read huge) No Smoking sign.

There is no internet here (to be read I'm horrified) and I will post this as soon as I find some.

Kiss and Peace

The D&g that got me

After a long day slaving around my house getting ready for the end-of-the-world type of b-day party me and Mr. Mystery got going on tomorrow, I'm finally at the hairdresser's enjoying the peace and quiet of a bustling hairdresser's shop on a busy Saturday afternoon. Amidst the horde of Saturday-night fever women I found my quiet spot where to write this post. There is an undeniable quieteness to a roomfull of chit chatting women.

My shoe addiction, hibernating for some time now due to below freezing economic conditions, gave me quite a nudge the other day in Rome. 

Visiting the caput mundi on official Mystery&me business, we went for a (financially dooming) walk in the city center. A hop, skip and a step away I was trying 700€ macrame laced, stone embelished Dolce&Gabbana shoes. And let me just tell you that those shoes were made for walking...walking with my feet that is! 

Fast forward to a couple of days later and countless internet searches I have decided to save up and buy those ridiculous shoes! The how and the when are to be determined

Their use is also to be determined.

Kiss and Peace

A Dolce obsessed Miss S

New obsession

Sorry for being MIA for quite some time. Among books for my DELTA, lesson plans for my job, vacationing, cooking, shopping, pilatesing and other such -ing activities I had completely forgot about writing.
Quick update. Went to Copenhagen by car. Very fun, very chic, very Bonnie and Clyde. On our way, me and my Mystery stopped in Berlin (terribly wonderful), Leipzig (it reminded me of home), Hamburg (we almost didn't come back) and finally on the way back Munich (officially the Naples of Germany in my book).
Copenhagen. Beautiful, different, more expensive than a year-long stay at the Four Seasons, a culinary alien city, fashion forward on pretty much everything. But, at the end of the day, a tad bit blah for a city girl like me that needs dazzling lights and crazy traffic and endless rows of cheap and savoury ethnic restaurants. I got bike rides, organic muffins, a heck of a lot of wind and food that could sit in the palm of your hand passed around as actual dinner.
By the time we got back to Germany, I was experiencing a muffled ding in my ears from all that crazy wind.
As you can imagine, Germany was all about pretzels and beer and butter fried meat. Delicious.
Anyway, we got back in early September and I have been keeping myself occupied with my DELTA studying. Very occupied that is.
Yesterday, after practically blinding myself through reading I decided to take a streamlined look at the Apple conference that tech people have been dying to see. At the same time I was watching Marshall get wasted and ruin a wedding on "How I met you mother". Very funny.
Although most of the stuff they presented (the iPad and the new iMac plus some software stuff I wasn't properly listening to) was kinda long and boring for someone like me(an user rather than a connoisseur), the new iWatch got me freaking excited! I want one! I want one so bad, I might just buy two so that i can wear it on both arms. :)))
Now that is a sleek looking, technologically advanced, fashion sensitive piece of fruit logoed equipment!!! And I want one. And Tim didn't even have to convince me. You just have to look at the picture and you will feel an instant capitalistic, irresponsible, childish almost desire to possess it.
Who cares if their new iPad is as thin as HALF a pencil? Who cares if the pictures on you new iMac with retina display are better than the actual people and surroundings in them?
I want an iWatch! The why I shall consider after having purchased it!

Kiss and Peace
