This city has something of everything, every other day I get surprised by something new. The buildings are bold and full of colour. Sometimes they are even accessorized with a VW bus! Even the Starbucks around the corner has a bright character and looks out on a park where people take their dogs for aContinue reading “#limalife”

I finally moved into my own place, a massive apartment in the seaside suburb of Miraflores in Lima. On my first night I went for a walkabout, to get a feel for the area, and get some supplies. At first I walked down to the beach. The idea was to watch the sunset, but toContinue reading “A place of my own”

I tried my first surfing lesson on Saturday, it was quite fun, although the beach consists of rocks and the “shop” is basically a 3×3 m canopy, so it is a bit of an adjustment. Everyone says there aren’t any sharks, but my question is “what are the sharks scared of, perhaps I should beContinue reading “Lima – first impressions”

Vandag vertrek ek op ‘n nuwe avontuur. Meer detail sal later volg….

Ek is vreeslik lief vir skoene, al dra ek nie regtig stilettos nie. Ek het gister ‘n nuwe paar skoene ontvang wat ek gekoop het, “one of a kind”, handgemaakte, plat skoene. Ek het ook deur ons hele kantoor geloop en vir al my vriendinne gaan wys hoe oulik is my skoene. Jare gelede hetContinue reading “‘n Storie in ‘n paar skoene”

My gunsteling deel van ‘n lang dag by die werk is as ek by die huis kom en die garage deur oopmaak. Dan kom daar ‘n gevaarte om die hoek soos ‘n renjaer wat ‘n handbriek draai uitvoer, en Charlie kom staan in die oprit en wag om in te klim en saam met myContinue reading “Vier Voet Verwelkomingskommitee”

Ons laaste dag in die States en ek besluit om die toer te skip om eerder nog ‘n dag in New York City te wees. Ek en die Girls wat ook so besluit het vang ‘n trein na Penn stasie met al ons bagasie. Ons eerste stop is die Shake Shack in 8th Ave. VanContinue reading “Laaste dag in die States”

In ‘n bibber koue oggend van Boston stop ons 7:45 by die Quincy Market en word vertel ons gaan daar bymekaar kom na “lunch” oftewel 11:30.  Dis so koud en alles anders maak eers 10 uur oop, so ons kry toe maar ‘n Breakfast en ‘n koppie warm tee en bekyk die plekke rondom dieContinue reading “Boston en terug”

Ons dag begin by die Niagra rivier waar ons gaan kyk na ‘n maalkolk in die rivier by ‘n punt waar dit van rigting verander. Dis blykbaar die grootste varswater maalkolk in die Amerikas. Die rivier is nogsteeds magtig, en ‘n groot deel daarvan is afgelei vir die hidroëlektriese stasies aan weerskante van die rivier,Continue reading “Brrr : Niagra – Boston”
