A Magical Day with the Magic Exhibit

-
Had an amazing free day during which went to Paradise Center in Sofia. There you can enjoy a funny exhibit of old "magic"tricks which magicians used to perform for their audience. 

There I saw a huge rabbit in a hat which looked a little bit strange and was not a magic trick you can try by yourself but everything else was. 

There was a fun optical illusion. You can sit and wonder how come the child looks bigger than the adult and the mystery is solved. The trick is that 2 people - an adult and a child stand next to the picture on the wall - the child is on the right and the adult - on the left hand side but they both seem equally tall.

Also - the Davenport brothers' magic was explained! Had amazing time and tried the different facilities, took pictures and laughed a lot! 

Davenport brothers' magic


You can also solve the mystery of the floating table and the head on a plate illusion which are both very funny. I've heard about some of the tricks but I had no idea about the Davenport brothers' mystery which was fun and which I could try. Everything is explained in a very simple and easy to understand way and the fact that you can try to replicate the magic makes it even more fun and easy.

Lalaria Beach Skiathos

If you are planning a trip to Skiathos, you have most probably heard about Lalaria beach. This amazing "must-see" destination which is hard to reach but worth it. I myself was very passionate about seeing it and have no regrets.       How to go there? There is a number of options as many companies offer boat tours. There are tours only to Lalaria and there are also combined trips. The combined ones seemed great to me as they give the opportunity to visit Lalaria and Tsougrias the same day so you don't have to give away two of your days for beaching, but just one. The combined trips cover both beaches, show you the caves (I have never found those interesting, honestly) and also give you the opportunity to spend time in Kastro. This is the old town where you can see the fortress and there is a beach as well. The cost is € 15-20 per person. The boats leave from the old port at 10 in the morning and return at 17-18. There are different options depending

Issos Beach, Corfu

This is one of the southern beaches of the island and was great!  If you love beach bars, this may not be your place - the bars there are not like the ones at other beaches, but the beach itself is very nice!  Fine golden sand, crystal-clear water... Exactly what I wanted - line which I used almost every day looking at my feet through the magical small waves we had.  At the place where we chose to sit, there was a small bar from which we could get drinks and food - salads, sandwiches, Aperol.... And it was nice since there was light music. The toilette was close too - just up the hill. With the locker from the outer side... :D In general, I would recommend the south beaches - no stones, the water is exactly as one would expect from a Greek island.... There are umbrellas and sunbeds - the cost for 2 beds and the umbrella is 7 euro, which I find reasonable. There is free zone too. What I really liked is that at greek beaches people usually come later

Wake Up! - Varvara Day 2

Had a second day at the Wake Up beach. It is amazing and I couldn't stop myself from visiting it again. This time the water was not as clean as the previous day, however the place was still as wild and great!  As I have already tried the yoga, this time I decided that I can skip it and try something new instead. Krassen still had a group and everyone is always welcomed to join, it's a very open event, however I was  not in a workout mode.  Instead I wanted to take a walk on the cliffs and be able to enjoy the view from there! Looked amazing!  I also like to try something new and see a different view or the same from a different angle as this gives amazing opportunities. Taking a walk on the cliffs on the left, I followed a path between the trees and bushes and if you follow it to the end you will be able to enjoy the same view - there is a very small secluded area where the sea touches the shore and manages to transform the rocks into pebble beach. I
