My new loves ♥

And finally yesterday I received one very important package from UPS and one very important call from Monton store!
Feeling very happy to have these things at their new home(in my wardrobe)now! :)
Acne Canada Grey Melange 
Monton sweater =)
When I decided to buy the scarf it was out of stock! I thought I would not be able to purchase it until something like Christmas )))) Yeah, I know, kinda stupid of me, but I usually do panic way too much all the time when something goes not the way I have planned)))

And I was very happy to get the sweater, as by the day I finally reached the store all the S-sized sweaters had been sold out everywhere in Tallinn! I don't know if it is true or not, but the saleslady (who was very kind and helpful) told me she had ordered the last S-sized one in Estonia to be brought for me from the other town!
The cool thing is that I wasn't planning to go to that store that day,as the weather was awful ))) It was just a coincidence or should I call it "luck" ? :)))

Sushi sushi :) ♥♥♥

I guess almost everyone I know loves sushi :))) My husband and I are not an exception!
So we decided to have a lunch at the sushi restaurant on our last full day in Crete.
I really liked the Wakame salad.I am super in love with seaweed salads! My favorite is the Chuka Wakame one and the best way to eat it, in my opinion ,is when it is served with the horseradish dressing and a piece of lemon :) So for me, it would have been much tastier with these things, but liked it anyway :)))
Sushi were pretty tasty too. But not the best I have ever tried.Alex said my homemade sushi were better (and that was very pleasant to hear, by the way).Not very modest of me, but I think so too :))))))

Heraklion

Another town we visited in Greece was Heraklion/Iraklion. OK not town,but city.)))
It is the largest city on the island.Moreover, it is the administrative capital of the island of Crete.

My first impression of it was - hot and heavy traffic: cars,motorcycles everywhere.And no one, NO ONE did give us a way when we were trying to cross the street using the "zebra" pedestrian crossing with a toddler in the stroller!So rude! =(

First we went to the Venetian harbor to see the Venetian fortress of Koules,Rocca al Mare - "Sea Fortress" (we have a large shopping mall called Rocca al Mare in Tallinn, by the way)))))
It was very beautiful and we liked the view of the city from the harbor a lot! Such an amazing feeling - being able to walk near the fortress built in 1523!

Then we decided to go to the city.
Our first stop was Doctor Fish Foot Spa Therapy, that I really wanted to visit when looking for things-to-do in Heraklion while planning our holidays. So sad we didn't have much time (Lion had to have a sleep at about 2-3 p.m.), so I only had 15 minutes of fish spa to enjoy. But it was fun!Believe it or not, I'm scared of fish and when they started to have their "meal" I wanted to run away))) On the one of the walls there was an inscription saying:"for once You're the fish food" hahaha)))) Lion  liked watching those fishies too))

Then we had a yummy stop at the Starbucks. I had a wonderful caramel Frappuccino and a cheesecake and my husby had some kind of Frappuccino as well( he didn't want a dessert as he was planning to have some Ben&Jerry's icecream)))))). That was the best coffee drink I've ever tried in my life so far!!! Yes, we do not have any Starbucks in our home town (don't know why, considering the idea of writing someone a letter with a request to bring it to our country).I also bought a tumbler cup there.

Soon we entered the Lions Square with a beautiful fountain The Fontana Morosini - crowded and lively, its is said to be one of the busiest part of Heraklion and never quite . We took a picture with our little Lion on the Lions Square)))

Then we had very little time left for shopping!We only visited Oysho,Gap and Zara. It's always a "lack of time" situation when going somewhere with a baby)))

Over all,we had a great time in Heraklion!I'd go there again any day)))
