The painting on the wall is so lovely. And the phone! 

So much more chic than the BB I carry around. 

"Anything is possible. Whatever your dream is, make it happen. Have courage. Start today. You will be amazed what life will give you in return for a little bit of courage.

Courage is a choice.

Be certain of one thing: The measure of your life will be the measure of your courage."

Have a lovely week.

Hoogstraat, Otrabanda

Curacao

You cannot help but smile when you drive into the Hoogstraat. Though there is still some construction going on, the colours of the buildings will bring out happiness in anyone. So this morning, as I stood infront of the entrance, I took a few pictures to share with you. ( These were taken with my phone.... as you might notice my my photography skills are from far great but even less so with a phone. I hope you like them though). 

Have a wonderful weekend. 

Smile loads.

West Punt, Curacao 

This weekend was happily spent at West Punt. Just relaxing with the sound of the waves always in the background, eating delicious food, swimming in the gorgeous crystal blue waters and taking the Saint out for a ride along the coast. Curacao is a relatively small island, yet the one hour drive still seems like an eternity as it brings you to a world of peacefulness. Early in the morning as the sun is slowly coming up, the fisherman make their way for their daily catch, the vast blue ocean, in all the possible shades, lies before them. It is a lazy Sunday morning, quiet, with only the sounds of the birds in the background. We "relax" (also the name of the house where we are staying....quite appropriate), on the gazebo while having breakfast. It is nice to notice that time somehow stands still on such days.

Hope you had a wonderful weekend as well.

castello del nero

Castello del Nero

Florence Italy

Most people who have met me know that I have the unique and uncanny ability to pre-plan (even fantasy wise) all sorts of travel ideas which might possibly inspire me any given day. I think that this year alone I might have put together at least 15 trips or so (of course I won't be going on all of them....probably just a few.....if I plan well of course), but the mere act of indulging myself the planning of such adventures is already a mini-vacation. And so, yesterday morning I woke up with the ever so wonderful feeling that a trip to Italy would be quite nice this time of year. Within a matter of minutes I had found a gorgeous place to stay, the Castello del Nero near Florence.

Just picture it, on a scooter heading to Pisa and the Chianti wine region, lounging away on the terrace eating the most delicious pasta known to man, having a perfect espresso before breakfast with the view of the Italian landscape surrounding you and after a long day relaxing in the indulgent spa. (ahhh after reading this I am sure you will be well on your way to planning a trip yourself). Yep....seems like a plan.

I must admit that I have been wearing the 'oh-so-comfortable' (and chic) ballerina flats almost daily. Giving my fabulous heels a bit of a rest. (Perhaps too much of a rest). Next week! It's back to day-time-heels (ok, at least twice a week or so).

cherish it

Today my garden is being cleaned up a bit. Just to have it a bit more presentable than usual.

Though one day I do hope to have a wonderful lush garden, were in the mornings I can sit on a swing (as above), have some breakfast (and if I work a bit on my balance I am sure to have coffee there too).

Loads of bright coloured flowers is all I really like.

(It will take a few years....but it will happen)

Have a wonderful day.
