March Madness Prague and London
March in Prague and London March is winding down, and it was a fantastic month of travel. London was FREEZING, I’m so happy to be back home in Northern Italy where it’s Springtime. Prague was so beautiful, and we had snow the entire first weekend of March. I wanted to venture out of Prague and see some other places, but with the snow, not having a car, and the cold just putting a damper on things for me I decided to spend the weekend indoors burning off all the incredible food we had this trip yummy… Eats in Prague We returned to Field http://fieldrestaurant.cz which I was so excited to experience again. It’s such an incredible place ,the wine list is fantastic, and this restaurant is decorated so elegantly. The service is exceptional, each course and dish’s presentation is just incredible. If you’re visiting Prague, this is a MUST for lunch or dinner. We found a new breakfast spot we loved called http://bistromonk.cz. Small spot, but so good! If you don’t show up when they open on the weekend be prepared to wait a bit I’m warning you! It’s the best breakfast I’ve had in Prague. On This trip, I finally tired my first Trdelnik I kept seeing a Stall for these sweet cone donut thingy’s and finally caved and had one. I had mine filled with whipped cream and chocolate sauce, and it’s a sugar bomb! We also found a Mexican spot http://lasadelitas.cz and I can’t vouch for their margaritas, but the tacos were delicious. Bordeaux I visited Bordeaux next week to see my sister and best friend, Charmane Star. With Lockdown from 2020-2022 and life, we hadn’t seen each other for three years!! Too much time!! We had such a fun week in Bordeaux together. We did some shopping and ate some excellent Thai food. The weather was still freezing and wet from the lingering rain and snow, so we just stayed in (I got to see her beautifully built new home!!), watched Thai youtube, ate, and caught up on life just like ladies who’ve been friends for (GASP) 20 years! Time flies … Food and Friends in London Speaking of good friends, my Shawna Kenney and I reconnected in London this past week. We haven’t been able to see each other these past two years with Lockdown, relocating, and work, so when she came to London for the “Beyond the Streets London Exhibition http://saatchigallery.com we met up, and the show was great too. Her Memoir “I was a teenage dominatrix” is being reprinted, and I make a small contribution on the back, so get a copy! It’s a fantastic, funny, freaky memoir and easy read . http://www.shawnakenney.com. We only had the weekend, so Alberto and I could get a Michelin meal Saturday night at Akoko http://akoko.co.uk. This place is so delicious. West African food with the most incredible flavor fusions. Spicy, smokey, sweet, mmmm so so so good. We opted for a Spanish Red Wine. I mean, I’m acting like I know, but guys, my husband knows wine, and I go along because he’s never wrong and always pairs our food perfectly, so Ottimo!! We started the evening with their version of the Negroni, which had a nice smokey gin infused with cacao nibs. Just YUMM! London was so cold too. Freezing temps, grey skies, and SO MUCH WIND. The next trips I’ve planned for April through August are warm! Are you surprised !!! Have a great week, and let’s finish March strong!! XO Tera
Corsica Italy 2016
When I think about this Corsica trip it was when I was first dating my boyfriend Alberto who’s now my husband. June will be five years that we’re married and this was our first trip together. We went in May and drove to the port in Livorno (Tuscany region south). From Veneto it takes almost four hours. We wanted to have our motorcycle in Corsica to go around so we took the ferry . It was an easy ride and I recommend it if you want to bring your car , vespa or motorcycle. This is an easy site to check the time tables if you’re considering the ferry .http://go-ferry.com To be honest I have no idea where we even stayed. Back then I was doing feature dance shows on a Friday so I’d have the weekend off. I’d work from midnight to 5 am then he would pick me up and whisk me off to a beautiful new destination in Italy . It was a fun sexy way to see this beautiful country and we were falling in love in the process… Where is Corsica Corsica is part of France so there’s a lot of french/Italian speaking and you will find both types of food there. It’s an Island located in the Mediterranean sea west of Italy. Sardegna is directly south. One sweet thing was that they make delicious Jams , and sweets with the local Hazelnuts grown there . The meat and cheeses will have some of this “essence ” especially the wild boar as they love to eat the Hazelnuts ! What to see and do in Corsica We had our motorcycle so we cruised around the island up to the highest peak Monte Cinto . Corsica is the most mountainous Mediterranean island. There’s many forests with beautiful hiking trails (our favorite activity) and I couldn’t get over how green and lush the island was .Bonifacio is also STUNNING!! It’s located at the most southern tip of Corsica and the limestone cliff allows you see beautiful views of the Tyrrhennian sea. The best time to visit Corsica We visited in May and the weather and beaches were perfect! A few beaches we went to were Calvi , which can be quite touristy and crowded but fun ! Palombaggia which was not only very beautiful but much more serene.. We even managed to snap a few sexy pics …The last few times I’ve gone to Sardegna I’ve thought why can’t I just hop on over to Corsica LOL It would be so easy!! If you’re coming to Italy I’d make it part of your stop! You can squeeze it in on your next trip to France too!! XO
Bordeaux, France Birthday!
Happy Tuesday! I’m getting ready for the next few weekends of travel and it includes heading back to Toulon France to shoot with my favorite photographers Caroline and Eric of RBB2. http://rbb2.com I will be shooting with my best girlfriend Charmane Star https://lnk.bio/charmanestar as well so it’s going to be an epic weekend of shooting! Charmane lives in Bordeaux, France and moved there about 6 years ago. It was about the same time I moved to Italy. We have visited each other quite often and recently we celebrated my birthday there over the summer. We do what most best girlfriends do. Wine tasting, spa days, fine dining , cooking , and shopping. You’d be surprised (or not) at how much we could talk… and what about? Pretty much anything lol Charmane and I had a fun catch up while making dinner last night on Face Time so here are some cute fun candids from that weekend XO Tera
