Sicily - Wednesday June 3, 2026

This house, that tiny blue balcony, these mornings...

Visiting our neighbor Lulò, an artist born in Matera. The walls of his colorful courtyard are covered with art objects made from found items, mainly ceramics, wood, and plastic. A hidden surprise in a small alley in Sciacca, Citta della ceramica.

Beach & sunbeds and old-fashioned ice cream on the flower beachspiaggia Lido Fiori.

Aperitivi in città at the vintage cocktail bar Fuori Tempo. Buona notte.

Sicily - Monday June 1, 2026

Fatti tranquilli, stili sicilianu...

Morning rituals, groceries, coffee, newspaper (La Gazzetta dello Sport) in Sciacca.

Lazing on the quiet Lido Sovareto beach in the afternoon.

Henk organized a Studio Tre dinner and we invited our fun and sweet hosts Jasmijn & Enzo, a beautiful Dutch-Sicilian couple. The pink Gazzetta newspaper we reused as placemats. We had a delicious meal, laughed a lot, and enjoyed this special evening together.

crete in september - the end

Crete - Friday 16th of September

Our laid back vacation has been amazing and we savored every moment of the slow life.
We loved waking up in our tiny house in the olive grove in the hinterland of the northwest coast of Crete.
The delightful daily discovery of another beach or bay to enjoy the tranquility, the delicious Greek food and each other.
