We were all quite tired again today so had a lazy morning by the pool then spent the afternoon at the beach. The beach was packed and the waves here are violent so I was a bit scared to go in. After the beach we headed back to the hotel and went out for some… Continue reading Lazy Day at the Beach

Coconuts in Copacabana
As we left mums house on Thursday evening the snow was hammering down and I was a little anxious that we might not actually make it to the airport. Luckily it had stopped by Friday morning and after a long 12 hour flight we made it to Rio de Janeiro 🙂 We arrived at 10pm… Continue reading Coconuts in Copacabana

Villa Romano and a bad afternoon!
We got up at about 9am and had some breakfast with Lolly and Berna.

A Historic Day in Washington D.C.
We left New York this morning and drove 220 miles to Washington D.C passing through New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland.

After dinner we came back to the hotel bar, had a drink and went upstairs… Continue reading A Historic Day in Washington D.C.
Statue of Liberty
Today we wanted to see the sights of New York so started off on the ferry from Battery Park to Liberty Island. The queues were huge because it is Saturday so we stayed on the boat to get photos rather than go onto Liberty Island. We arrived back in Manhattan and walked to the World… Continue reading Statue of Liberty
