Levandų kambarys, Nine George

Juk laiko vis dėlto dar liko. Kartais pora dienų prilygsta visam gyvenimui.

Mylėti yra geriau, negu vien tik kalbėti apie meilę.

– O žinai, meilės kančios panašios į gedulą, nes numiršti pats, nes numiršta tavo ateitis. Ir tu drauge su ja. Ir tai tęsiasi begaliniai ilgai.

Kokia nemaloni toji vienatvė, kurioje jis įstrigo vien dėl to, kad nerado savyje drąsos pasitikėti antrą kartą. Pasitikėti aklai, nes tikrai meilei reikia būtent šito.

Nors aš manau, kad nėra tokių klausimų, iki kurių reikia „užgauti“. Tiesiog dera atitinkamai pateikti atsakymus.

Fun Sunday in Tayto park

Last week was really busy for all of us, so we decided to have a little bit fun at weekend. When I told to my colleagues that for holidays we are planning trip to Germany to attend amusement parks, the fist question was – Have you been in Tayto park? Like my son said – Chips park J And because the answer was – NOOOO...

Tayto park is only more than 1 hour to drive from our home, so it was quite easy to convince our daddy to go.

My brave team! :) 

The first rollercoaster we have tried was The Cú Chulainn Coaster located in Eagle Sky Adventure Zone. This rollercoaster is Ireland’s First rollercoaster and Europe’s largest wooden rollercoaster. The rollercoaster has been named after one of the great eternal heros of Irish history, Cú Chulainn. I can’t remember when the last time I was on the rollercoaster, but it was really long long time ago. For my kids it was the first time. And it was really impressive…and good…and scary… Urtė screamed all the way…After this rollercoaster my kids said that they don’t want to try any other coaster…Definitely, it was not from excitement...

Our next spot was 5D Cinema  (as we hade to get our breath back after the first rollercoaster…) So we had a thrilling journey in Dino Safari – with air gusts, water jets, leg ticklers, lights and bubbles.

After 5D Cinema we decided to immerse ourselves in the Mesozoic era „the age of dinosaurs“. We didn’t finish walk through as Adomas wanted to try Zip Line Extreme – and it was really good. He tried this 3 times :)

                                                  

Zip Line Extreme

As a day started to get warm our next attraction was Viking Voyage in Eagle Sky Adventure Zone.  With 1.7 million litres of water, a Viking village, 5 replica Viking ships and 20 life size Vikings. Even it is a newly opened ride queue was moving quite fast and it didn’t cause any inconvenience for us.

Lunch time

Circus

Urtė insisted to try Steam Train Express. So welcome on a board!

Shot Tower – if you want to be shoot up 10 metres into the sky and watch the ground get smaller until reaching the top and to feel the exhilaration as shooting down to the ground. This attraction was suitable even for me :) 

Mr Tayto’s pony rail was suitable for Urtė – she enjoyed to saddle up and to ride on her very own pony. 

Air jumpers – we waited in queue almost 40 minutes.

Short rest break

Marijus and Adomas went on the Rotator, where everyone will be soared 31 meters in the sky and revolved 360°.  Urtė was too small, and I was not brave enough. Even to watch at them for me was too much... But both my men really enjoyed this attraction.

The Windstar – you can decide how high you’d like to fly. Urtė went on this attraction 2 times – and it says a lot ;) She said that it was be best attraction for her.

The Endeavour – with speeds as fast as 40 km and reaching a height of 68 feet. For Adomas it was one of the best attractions.

The last attraction before nearly before closing park closing time – Extreme Climbing Wall. Both my kids tried this 21 metre climbing wall. Adomas was really good in climbing. Probably he has the inner mountaineer ;) 

And the very very last attraction – to repeat the first rollercoaster The Cú Chulainn Coaster!

We spend all day long in this park, but Zoo, Tayto factory tour and some other attractions were left for next visit. So probably we will come back! Maybe not this year as there are so many places to visit in Ireland ;)

p.s. Adomas was happy finally to get slippers :D As several weeks I struggled to buy suitables. And now – tadadadammm – CHIPS SLIPPERS!!!

The Spy, Paulo Coehlo

The first time about Mata Hari - Margaretha Geertruida Zelle I've heard maybe 20 years ago. For me her life story sounded as an exciting adventure - a Dutch exotic dance and a famous courtesan. She was later accused and arrested for being a double espionage.
„The Spy“ by Paulo Coelho is written based on a true event, but who knows the truth?

„My first piece of advice is the hardest, and it has nothing to do with your performance. Never fall in love. Love is a poison. Once you fall in love, you lose control over your life – your heart and mind belong to someone else. Your existence is threatened. You start to do everything to hold on to your loved one and lose all sense of danger. Love, that inexplicable and dangerous thing, sweep everything you are from the face of the earth and in its place, leaves only what your beloved wants you to be.“

***

Everyone flirts with danger, so long as that danger does not really exist.

But women are able to understand one another without exchanging a word.--- When we don't know where life is taking us, we are never lost.

„The other person can no longer help himself. He becomes distant, he seems distracted during the week, and on Saturdays and Sundays he comes to he Champ de Mars to play ball with his friends. His son enjoys ice cream, and his wife watches as the elegant dresses parade before her, a sad look in her eye. There's no wind strong enough to make the boat change direction; it stays in the harbour, venturing only among still waters. Everyone suffers, those who leave, those who stay, and their families and children. But no one can do anything“.

The most beautiful melody in the world will become a monstrosity if the strings are out of tune.

I took some money from my pocket and showed him I had enough to return. I also had enough to go, but letting a man help a woman leaves him vulnerable.

People say life is not that complicated, but life is very complicated. What's simple is wanting an ice cream, a doll, or to win a game of petanque like those men over there - fathers with responsibilities, sweating and suffering as they try to get a stupid metal ball to hit a little piece of wood. Simple is wanting to be famous, but staying that way for more than a month or a year, especially when that fame is linked to one's body, is what is hard. Simple is wanting a man with all your heart, but that becomes impossible and complicated when that man is married with children and wouldn't leave his family for anything in this world.
