My venture

No...not a typo...we were in Belize City in the country of Belize....another country in the Carribean sea...so guess what...it was warm....kim and i wanted to do the cave tubing....BUT....the tour was cancelled cause there had been way too much rain lately and hence the river levels were at an unsafe level...damn...hence we needed to make another choice....so we ended up with a city tour of Belize and an airboat ride...the tour only started after lunch so kim and i decided to go ashore a bit by ourselves....we did not end up doing much...looked at the some souvenir shops...and then of course Belize is known for rum...then again...most of the Carribean is know for rum...so we decided to have a rum and coke at one of the local bars....typical Carribean bar.... Kim enjoying rum and coke Me enjoying rum and coke I must say the city tour was quite interesting, it was a bus ride through the various areas and i must complement the tour guide, i think she is the one who made it, she was info...

So...this time...i am actually doing a cruise which i have never done before...actually i am going to see places which i have never seen before...so yes...i am quite excited...main thing of course to join my husband for his birthday....which is today in Cozumel....Mexico (for those of you who might not know)....it is an island...well let me share a pic...easier to explain..... Where is Cozumel The plan was pretty staight forward....we go out...wonder around a little....check out the many souvenir shops...have something to eat and of course try the margarita cocktail....but before that of course....it was present opening and cake on the bridge...kim's favourite banana cream pie with marzipan....and man..it was so delicious that i actually ended up taking a second helping and then we took one slice for later (yes, a little greedy but when would i get this cake again.....hahaha). Unfortunately i did not have my camera with me, so i did not manage to take a pic...which i know is very...

Well....not really Paris...more like Paris Airport.....im on my way to see my husband in the States....and the best route for me was to fly from JHB to Paris and then from Paris to Houston.....i had a few hours lay over in Paris and made the best of it....that included breakfast....2 cappuccino....and a macaroon for dessert.... The terminal i was in did not have a lot of options for coffee, so i ended up at this organic self service cafe....cappuccino was decent...not the best...foam too little and not thick enough...but at least i got asked whether i wanted chocolate sprinkles....the price...oh my word....€3.80....but they know....you are stuck..no other place you can buy...so if you want cappuccino...you pay the price...anyway...i got to sit there for 3hrs...enjoying cappuccino and breakfast....and free wifi. The highlight was when i saw this little macaroon stand....of course France is famous for these...so yes, i had to get one. The name of the stall "Laduree- Maison fondee en...

So....it is Friday evening...we were invited to go to a wine tasting with a 4 course dinner at Prime Grill & Butchery in Fourways.....i was excited...cause i like these type of pairings.... On arrival we received a glass of Sauvignon Blanc....it was quite light and not too bad...but I am not the best judge on white wine cause I do prefer red wine....but it was not bad....and i must say, they were generous in the quantity one received and they would even top up if you wanted more..... Once we entered the private room, tucked away at the back of the restaurant, however, fully surrounded by glass, there was a table of 20 people. The menu lay on each place setting and looked as follows: Menu for the night As you can see...the wine maker was Meinert....the owner himself was present and he gave a speech once everyone was seated. He explained a little bit about where the wine farm is situated, Stellenbosh, about what wines they produce- mainly red wine and why they produce one white w...

As promised....random Radolfzell...food and some scenery pics....just worth showing to you...first up....a mixed salad at Altstadt Cafe.....as you might remember the cappuccino was not nice...but the salad was nice...fresh, great dressing....yes, for a mixed salad i would have expected some carrots, cucumber, tomatoes etc...but it was fresh and i loved the derssing.... Mixed Salad at Altstadt Cafe Then...salad plate with Knusperli....Knusperli basically is fish in batter...and man...it was very good...some red pepper salad, boiled egg, carrots, tomato, cucumber, greens and of course the crispy fish...and the derssing...wow...i definitely wanna go back there...and i would have the same thing again...was all fresh and yummie....i guess the dressing is what makes it..... Salad plate with Knusperli at Krone Before flying home to SA,mom, Sofia and I decided to have dinner at Zurich airpot...we are not going to discuss the price...cause man...it is so bloody expensive...a glass of prosecco....

As you might be aware, we are back in Radolfzell because my Oma passed away....we have been out doing some walks in between organising and sorting out things.....so now...i can finally say (hence the word finally in the subject) that we have found a great cappuccino.....but ill leave the best experience till last....so i am going to tell you about the other ones we have had..... First off....Altstadt Cafe....this was not a coffee shop mom and I would have chosen, but we were invited there, so we went there.....the atmosphere inside was, to me, non existent....black leather chairs, dark tables and for me that is rather cold....just nothing to it....the cappuccino....not good at all.....it was served in a soup like cup (meaning very very big) and hence the coffee was very milky, the foam was way too airy and way too little.....there was no choc sprinkle, there was a biscuit though....but i will not go back to this place....i had some savoury food (will be discussed another time), mom had...

Encore Greek Isalnds, as promised....i will write another blog about the Greek Islands....so...as you might know...next up is Mykonos....we tendered so off i went by myself for a stroll and i would meet kim later for some food and of course....cappuccino.....i love Mykonos....i just think it is so pretty....just to walk through and enjoy the views...shop wise, there is not too much...souvenir shops etc....but let me share some random pics of the island.... Random pic from Mykonos island Church near the waterfront: Agios Nikolakis Settled on a stretch of cobbles jutting out into the port, this small antique building with a dazzlingly blue dome is one of the most picturesque churches in town. Note the quaint interior: the black and white tiled floor, the ceiling painted like a starry night and the ornate golden chandeliers. Panagia Paraportiani- Church of the Lady Chora's most famous church takes its name from its location, right next to the castle's side entrance in the Kastr...
