SUNDAYS AT THE PARK// lifestyle travel

SUMMER + SUN= PARKS

Sundays are the day to rest, enjoy the summer sun and just wander. With the super hot summer it is always nice to go to the park and sit under the trees, enjoy watching people, have some ice cream or a cold drink. The summer weather is no where in end , its been in the 30s for weeks , if not months.

So time to take a wander to a park and enjoy the sights.

The one park in the city that has the tower is a starting point. One can go to the top and get a birds-eye view of the city and the danube, then later go to the restaurant and enjoy a melange with one of the many delicious tortes. A very nice way to spend a sunday afternoon ,

GARDEN AND GAMES

After having a torte, time to take a stroll around the park and see all the lovely flower displays. The city has so many great flower gardens to see and enjoy. This park held a international garden event years ago , today we can see parts of it.

The park also has many activities for young and old to try from the mini train ride, to a chess board, ping pong tables and a skateboarders park. A very well planned area for the family to go to.

There is also a bandstand area with live entertainment, a classic car event and picnic held in August.

CAMOUFLAGE STYLES// Fashion, designer

SOMETHING DIFFERENT I have to say I love color and prints, and when I saw the work of this Kenyan photographer Thandiwe Murui , I was in AWE. Such vibrant prints that make a statement . The prints or the checkerboard are definitely eye- catching. ( I happen to have a checkerboard top that I wear as a coverup) This might not be for everyones taste, but sometimes it is fun to be a bit wilder! THE SWIRLS love this print and the colour combination . Vibrant and fun! A MOD- FLORAL this print that looks like a Sunflower is perfect for summer. JUST BLENDING IN CHECKERBOARD ANYONE? find out more about her work here Thandiwe via BBC images via Thandiwe Murui

INSTAGRAM REAL STARS?

WONDER IF SHE IS REAL? How many people follow their favourite instagram and feel perhaps this is what a real person looks like and maybe lives like. I am not talking celebrities like Rihanna or Kardashians or any of the other major celebrities . I am not a big follower of instagram, but for those that are there are a few surprises such as one very popular Instagram Star is actually a virtual reality image, not a REAL person.
