Venice...and home time.....

Oh my.....sign off time...the day has arrived...wow....it went hell of a fast...actually unbelievable....here some pics of when we were going through the Grand Canal.....


Once off the ship of course there were a few must do's....including a pizza and some local red wine with kim....so off we went to the Pizzeria we know (we just wanted a good Pizza).....and man...im terrible...but i still dont know the name of the Pizza place...i promise next time i get a name...i mean it does not really help if i dont know the name....same one we went in July though (twice), the one with the red and white checkered tablecoths.....so cute...and this time we had a pizza with egg, mushrooms, salami and spicy salami (Kim wanted the Capriccosa but i wanted different)....and it def did not disappoint....here some pics...

Then yes...the waffle type sandwich ice cream...and i am sorry again...no name of the place...you know i have actually decided..take more note of names, so that i can give you guys some more details which help you a little more when you trott around the globe.....so anyway...the sandwich type ice cream amazing...yummie....and then some strolling around...managed to find a bikini...when you are in Italy...try check out this store called Tezenis.....great underwear, bikinis (in summer) and great basic wear....very good prices...

And then some more strolling around.....of course we had some cappuccino (terrible) and because we were shocked how ba it was we rather sat down next to my Tezenis store in a small Piazza and had an Aperitifo (Apperol, lemonade and bubbly) and some peanuts and chips...man that was much better....Aperitifo is a typical Italian drink that gets consumed as a pre-dinner drink, in Italia people tend to have either a Spritz ir an Aperitifo, but yes, of course you can also have your beer, wine or cosmopolitan.

Around 6 it was time to take the taxi to airport....and there we found the wine bar...had some great bubbly (kim beer) and a ball of buffalo mozzarella and tomatoes on the side....so damn good...loved it....then a short flight to Zurich where we bought some Swiss Gin

And of course Lindt chocolate balls....now here is a small secret....in the main terminal on the second floor...Lindt has its own shop...and you can make your own bag with the various Lindt ball flavours....flavours such as 70% black, black, milk, orange, CHAMPAGNE, CARAMEL, MARZIPAN, white and many more....just so amazing...kim's comment was....he felt like he wasnt there..abandoned.....i was in my own world.....so if you there at the airport...even just in transit..do yourself a favour and go there.....then time to fly and make our way home to South Africa....where an amzing brunch awaited us...brie, Camembert, truffle cheese, parma ham....you name it...it was there...heaven....afternoon a round of golf in the sun and a braai in the evening....fillet of course...in actual fact the next day we had another braai...this time ostrich fillet...that is just what we needed and wanted...real South African food....yummie.....

Another cruise in Western Caribbean

This is the second week....we started the journey in Tampa and this Tampa we decided to take Sofia to the aquarium...I was quite interested to see whether she would be fascinated with the fishes or not....and she was....certain ones...certain ones not too much....but she definitely enjoyed going there. The aquarium had 8 sections: Wetlands Trail, Journey to Madagascar, Bays & Beaches, No Bone Zone, Coral Reefs, Dragons Down Under, Ocean Commotion and Splash Pad. We visited all except for the Splash Pad (that is outside for the kids to play and it was closed at the moment). It was nice also because there were areas where you could touch the sting rays...I enjoyed that, Sofia did not want to touch them, and nor did Kim. Sofia Enjoying the Aquarium Sofia Enjoying the Aquarium  Sofia in the Playground at the Aquarium Kim Enjoying the Aquarium The following day was VIP and unfortunately Sofia and I did not make it as Sofia was just way too tired....but that'

Sofia in the Jeep Kim and the Jeep Cherokee Friday night we had some Sushi take-aways because Sofia was jet lagged, and so were we, so we did not make it to a restaurant with her.  Saturday there was also quite a few admin things to get done...but it was a rainy day....it rained almost the whole day...so we got a bit wet, but it is warm rain......so never mind. We started off by driving past our new home (could not go inside as the current owners were packing up) and then we made our way to McKinney where we have a friend who has been so kind to receive and store all of our post,
