Day 11 – Costa Rica Our first morning waking up in La Fortuna, we have breakfast included at our hotel. Thank goodness for that, as we are immediately served fresh fruit and a glass of juice, before ordering our main breakfast. That’s the kind of service I like! Safe to say the portion sizes are generous, I only managed to eat half of my pancakes, … Continue reading Branching out in the Rainforest
Day 10 – Costa Rica We’re skipping day 9, because it was a full day of travels from the Caymans, to Miami for our connecting flight to Costa Rica, we had just one night in San José, where we quite literally passed out. Then we were up for our shuttle to our first part of our trip La Fortuna. That’s where day 10 starts, bleary … Continue reading Costa Rica, our first Central American adventure begins
Cayman Islands – Day 8 Today was the first time we set an alarm whilst being on the island. We needed an early start as we had a boat to catch for a morning boat tour. Amy was very quick to get coffee and croissants cooking before we even set off! We get to the quay which is a very bougie, surrounded by tall glass … Continue reading Sea, Sunshine & Stingrays
Cayman Islands – Day 6 – Part 2 We were all hungry after horse riding for 3 hours, so after saying goodbye to our trusted steeds, we were immediately off to a local tiki bar, ‘Macabuca’, one of Jess and Amy’s favourites which is usually only used by residents rather than tourists. A colourful bar on the rocks barrier to the sea. Of course Jess … Continue reading The magical light amongst the dark
Cayman Islands – Day 6 – Part 1 Today is one packed with activities! So Josh cooked us up his infamous breakfast of scrambled eggs and guaca-fet mix (a combination of guacamole, feta, garlic and spices. All in preparation for our heavy day of exercise induced excursions. In the morning we headed off to ‘Pampered Ponies Limited’, a horse riding stables that have been going … Continue reading A cowgirls dream come true
Cayman Islands – Day 5 A nice relaxed day after so many activities. We were thoroughly treated to a delicious breakfast by Jess, whilst Amy made a packed lunch for us. Today is all about the beach. Obviously Bluey the toucan joined us to a gorgeous beach surrounded by large rocks protecting the little haven from large waves. Jessica immediately stated she would be jumping … Continue reading Not a yacht to do…
Cayman Islands – Day 4Hangovers have very much got worse when we entered our 30’s, but add a hangover to only 3 hours of sleep and a 4 hour plane journey is horrific. Not to mention the 3 hours at the airport, the hour taxi, we were not in a good way. Although the journey felt like a lifetime, it was soooo worth it when … Continue reading Paradise by the sea
New York – Day 3We woke early, so we headed straight out to walk the upper half of central park. We grabbed a coffee on the way, feeling a tad groggy, I think jet-lag catching up with us. The icy winds and the cruch of the leaves certainly helped blow the cobwebs away. We had an unscheduled catch up with a squirrel, but then it … Continue reading New York is all Gogh, Gogh, Gogh
Day 2 – New York If you know me and Josh, you know we’re planners and that we’re foodies. So if it wasn’t obvious, we plan the majority of our activities around food, from rating to location, so day two was all about the food. First stop, the best bagel shop, Broad Nosh, they have a crazy amount of cream cheese combos I’ve ever seen! … Continue reading Food for thought
New York Day 1After having a pretty manic taxi ride from the airport to our Manhattan hotel (they drive so fricken fast!), we were received by the most spectacular view of the city. On the 39th floor, we could see out towards the sea a sparkling city skyline, even Lady Liberty herself welcomed us to the big apple. Immediately we went out to find food, … Continue reading 2024, the start of something New York
