Challenging hike to the Peak Carlit in Pyrenees-Orientales, France | Bouillouses Natural Site
It was the second day of our 2 day hike to the Peak Carlit. That day we hiked 18 kms through the beautiful lakes at the Bouillouses Natural Site and ascended to the Pic Carlit (2921m).
For us it was for sure one of the hardest trails we've done so far but also the most rewarding. It took us in total 6 hours to do both ways. It is a must hike for everyone who is in the area and the lake Bouillouses natural site is very well worth to explore too. We wouldn't recommend going with heavy weight and the trekking poles are also not very useful sometimes. Wear some good trekking shoes and use some gloves for the hands. Take the right side of the mountain when it gets confusing and you will be on the right track. In the summer months to the Bouillouses area you can get by bus as well, taking the first one in Mont-Louis and then changing to the other one at Pla de Barres campsite.

We are a couple who once fell in love with mountains and couldn't get back. So we decided to follow our heart and move from a big city to a small village to be able to do what we love and to create this content. Our goal is to promote the healthy lifestyle, to motivate people to travel more and care for nature around. We are passionate walkers who love hiking, trekking and camping. We offer the detailed information of our hikes and routes, including the map and all the directions, so that you can repeat it if you'd like to.
We choose walking over driving and other types of transportation whenever we can because we learnt that this way we see so much more and can explore and feel the place better. Walking is an excellent activity that has so many benefits to your health and requires no special equipment or practice, so we encourage you to get the most out of it and get out walking.
We speak English, Spanish, French and Russian, so don't hesitate to address to us in your native language.

ICE HOTEL: Hôtel de Glace - Quebec City, Canada
I still to this day remember over a decade ago when I first heard of the Ice Hotel in Quebec City. Does something like this actually exist? Ever since that moment I've wanted to visit and finally I had the opportunity to set foot in the Hôtel de Glace during Quebec City Winter Carnival.

Located just 5 km north of Quebec City in Charlesbourg borough, the Ice Hotel itself is a phenomenal work of art and mastermind engineering. Featuring 51 double beds made of ice the hotel has a three month lifespan each year (from January to April). Taking over a month to build, 50 workers use 30,000 tons of snow and 500 tons of ice to set it up completely!
Our favorite moment, aside from checking out all of the theme rooms, was to sip on a cranberry vodka cocktail from our ice cup in the ice bar. It's one of those places that totally lived up to the hype and needs to be experienced in person to be fully appreciated.
We are in a winter wonderland today also known as the Ice Hotel here in Quebec City. Let me take you in.
Have a seat while you wait to be checked in.
The vortex of time!
Welcome to the Spa. This is where you come to warm up right before going to bed. Or when you need to pee.
It looks like a sauna in there.
Woah. We're going to ride the grand slide. If you don't fall down first.
We're going to enter the bar and drink in glasses made of ice.
What do you got in your hands? Vodka cranberry.
Mmmmm.
And my lips didn't get stuck because they prepared the ice a very special way. I couldn't tell you how but it is a special way.
Cheers! Salut!
Welcome to the Medieval chamber.
I slept here two weeks ago. What happened? I survived. I'm alive. Hey, you're here. And well! So basically like I told my husband I looked like a beached whale. Okay.
Because you're in your sleeping bag except first of all you go in the saunas, you go in the spas to warm up and then afterwards you go inside and there is a whole section towards the indoor pavilion reserved completely only for our roomed night guests.
Where they have locker rooms, lockers for their stuff, etc.
So once you're done with the spa and the sauna you go inside and you dry off and then you put on what you're going to need to sleep. And it is basically a little spandex thing or it has to be artificial like fleece. It has to be artificial, not artificial but synthetic fibers. Nothing cotton.
So no white socks. Like I'm wearing right now.
Basically, you then come into your room. Access is from nine PM to nine AM. We don't give out rooms. We don't do early check ins or late checkouts. Okay, because we have visitors. All of our clients have to mingle well throughout.
If you're all quiet there is no sound. It is phenomenal to sleep here. You go to bed around midnight and then we wake up people at eight in the morning because you're sleeping that much. Now you're going to say Majole, what about the three AM pee pee?
The only iffy part is the three seconds you put your boots back on. That's the only thing that was cold because you're leaving it outside. You don't put anything on any ice. I didn't put my glasses on the ice because it would go in. Literally. Okay, you put everything in your boots or in the pouch.
So basically in your sleeping bag pouch. Your coat, you open it up, you put it on your bed and then you're sleeping on top. So it gets your body heat. Inside your thermal sleeping bag it goes up to twenty four degrees. At one point you're in the night unzipped everything and I needed to breathe. I really, it's a good thing that there are showers here in the morning. That could also be a sign of hypothermia you know? No, but it was really everybody you're really hot. The minute you unzip you see the vapor coming out. Okay. It is a sleep that you cannot have anywhere else. The oxygen that you're breathing in is phenomenal.
And we couldn't leave without checking out the maple sugar shack. You lead the way.
Well, I didn't come away empty handed. Check out this. I've got two different maple syrup products.

Paris Pizza Party
Canal Saint-Martin is a lovely neighbourhood in Paris. In the movie Amélie, it’s where she goes to skip stones on the canal (one of her ‘little pleasures’). The canal was built by Napoleon I from 1802 to 1825 and was paid for by a new tax on wine. Nowadays it’s a gathering place for people to relax and, yes, drink some wine. We were in search of the best pizza in Paris so we headed to Pink Flamingo Pizza. You order your pizza and they give you a bright pink balloon to bring down to the canal. You sit and wait with the balloon and they deliver your pizza on a pink bicycle. C’est magique! It’s definitely the coolest pizza delivery we’ve ever had and the pizza was delicious too.
