Pia w Londynie (Pia in London)

Muszę się przyznać, że klimaty Wielkiej Brytanii nigdy mi nie przypadały do gustu. Pomysły Roberta aby odwiedzić Londyn bardzo mnie zaskoczył. Mój mąż również nie przepada za "wyspami". Mając 17 lat uczęszczał do szkoły językowej niedaleko Londynu i ten okres zapisał się dość traumatycznie w jego wspomnieniach.
Wyjazd ten okazał się jednak bardzo ciekawy i doniosły. Już w trakcie lotu miało miejsce pierwsze ważne wydarzenie. Pia wyrwała sobie dolną jedynkę. W nocy odwidziała ją Wróżka Zębuszka. Co ciekawa była to wróżka z Polski o czym ewidentnie świadczył pozostawiony banknot z podobizną Króla Władysława II Jagiełły. 
W Londynie przywitała nas śliczna, wiosenna pogoda doskonała do całodniowych spacerów oraz licznych rejsów po Tamizie. Poruszanie się promami rzecznymi bardzo przypadło nam do gustu. Odwiedziliśmy większość najważniejszych atrakcji, które wywarły na naszej trójce duże wrażenie. Największym zaskoczeniem okazały się papugi, wiewiórki i pelikany zamieszkujące w St. Jame's Park nieopodal, którego mieszkaliśmy. Każdy dzień rozpoczynaliśmy od dokarmiania przyjaznych zwierzątek. Wypad okazał się bardzo udany a 115 lot Pii okazał się ostatnim przed wybuchem pandemii COVID19.

I have to admit that I've never been a fan of the United Kingdom's atmosphere. Robert's idea to visit London really surprised me. My husband also doesn't care for the "islands". When he was 17, he attended a language school near London, and that period left quite a traumatic impression on his memories.
However, this trip turned out to be very interesting and significant. The first important event took place during the flight. Pia knocked out her lower front tooth. Tooth Fairy visited her that night, which was interesting because it was a Polish Tooth Fairy, as evidenced by the banknote with the image of King Władysław II Jagiełło (100 PLN).
In London, we were greeted by beautiful spring weather, perfect for all-day walks and numerous boat trips on the Thames. We enjoyed traveling by riverboats very much. We visited most of the major attractions that made a big impression on all three of us. The biggest surprise were the parrots, squirrels, and pelicans living in St. James's Park, near where we stayed. Every day, we started by feeding the friendly animals. The trip turned out to be very successful, and Pia's 115th flight turned out to be the last before the outbreak of the COVID19 pandemic.

Pia - codzienność w Dubaju (Pia - Everyday Life in Dubai)

Today I wanted to tell you a bit about our everyday life in Dubai. It's a city full of contrasts and unique experiences, where we have been living for several years. We usually start our day with physical activities. Dubai is known for its beautiful luxury beaches, which are a great place to relax and unwind, as well as sports clubs and excellent infrastructure. Pia loves spending time at the beach, playing in the water and building sandcastles. We often meet up with friends who also live in Dubai at the beach. After the beach, it's time for learning. Pia goes to an international school where she learns many different subjects in English. We also have the opportunity to meet children from different cultures and countries there, which is incredibly interesting and inspiring. After school, we often have time for various activities. Dubai offers many attractions for kids, such as amusement parks, water parks, and playgrounds. Pia loves spending time outdoors, playing with her peer...

Pia na Goa - słonie i plaża (Pia in Goa - beach and elephant)

The next day we arrived in Goa. Robert organized a decent bus, and we set off together on a long journey to the "elephant camp." It was nearly a two-hour journey, but it was definitely worth it. Pia approached the walk on the back of a friendly elephant with some reservation. It was quite a challenging experience for me because I had to hold onto the saddle with one hand and secure our little one with the other, who decided to get off the animal towards the end of the walk. However, the bath in the streams of water from the elephant trunk went much better. Pia was the first to change into her swimsuit and was immediately ready for a bath with "tratata" (elephant in Pia's language). The fun was fantastic. Pia enjoyed the bath together with Robert, Wiesia, and Kaja... and of course, she constantly wanted to be splashed with very cold water. After playing and taking photos with the elephants, we went to the most beautiful and cleanest beach in Goa. Indeed, it was a...
