As you can tell from my post on NY, I spent quite some time in museums. I confess! I love pretty pictures and admire the masters behind them. I could’ve gone into more detail about every painting, but for those of you who are not art lovers it would just be a big yawn. For those who do love art, I’m sure you’ll understand what I mean when I say I was in awe. Some of these I have only seen in print and movies – it was amazing actually being there in front of them. In person. I consider myself blessed.
Start spreading the news
I’m leaving today. I want to be a part of it. New York, New York! Ol’ Frank was really onto something. You would have to be born under a rock not to know where it is! It’s a must on most bucket lists and hands down some peeps’ favorite city in the whole, wide world. How could I start my journey with just a quick layover in the Big Apple? Hell no! I decided to stay for a whole 6 days!
Given the time of year, some would think me crazy. Many in fact, told me so. February is supposedly the worst month of winter and I was guaranteed to freeze my tush off. I started keeping my eye on the weather three weeks in advance already and as departure came closer, the reports started getting more positive. Temperatures were going to be chilly, but clear blue skies were predicted by most weather sites and that was fine by me. I’ve never been one to get cold quickly, so as long as the sun was shining, I reckoned I would cope.

A final Peninsula farewell
I had to squeeze in one final drive through the Cape Peninsula before leaving. It’s an absolutely breathtaking trip with plenty of opportunity for some unbelievable pictures. We started from the City Bowl and headed over Kloofnek road following the coast line to Houtbay. From here follow signs for Chapman’s Peak drive. Remember to brings some dosh for the toll fee – ZAR33 per vehicle! It’s worth every cent!

e-cards… They will change your life
I. Love. These.
Definitely not an over statement. Their twisted and cynical humor brighten my day unexpectedly. I have an entire Pinterest page dedicated to them. So, I’d like to share some of my faves.
Be warned though… some of them are not PC, some are sweet and some are just down right nasty! Proceed with caution.
