Santinho beach @Florianopolis in the south of Brazil.....A lovely spring day.....

Mysty, and here summer is finally coming and yesterday (national holiday) we had a very very hot day. I do not like this days, I cant stand hot days.... can we move to somewhere that is always spring? No cold winter, no hot summer!

Looks great. Have a nice trip and should possible, post some pictures!

I hope you get well soon!

This is the type of question for an exam of proficiency in English....

In Brazil you can choose English, Spanish or French. But currently hardly anyone choose French. In order to go to university you are tested in one of them (but exam is very very basic). To get a MSc you need to be fluent in one of them and to get a Phd you need to be fluent in two.

Newspaper in Brazil showing Majestic Princess with 800 cases of covid arrived in Sydney yesterday. 😨

I will be in Christchurch from 4-8 january, in Akaroa on 7. So we will miss each other. I will arrive Auckland 8th in the evening. It is a great trip you will enjoy! Do you have the tours in each city?

Have a great day todat and ever!!!!

Great coolers. I will be in NZ from Dec. 27 to Jan.27. Who knows we see each other there......Have a great cruise.

This is in south of Brazil earlier today. snow in november. Never ever before was recorded snow in november. In this area it is usual to have snow once and while during winter (june to august) but never in november. In Rio de Janeiro today (national holiday) and we have 20oC and no beach, we are miserable with this weather....

Weekend in Sao Paulo (spring time). At Japanese Center (Brazil has the largest japanese population outside Japan, most of them living in Sao Paulo). And at Ibirapuera park.

QSS so sad. My cat died 2 weeks ago and the house is so empty.

Ready for Halloween?

spring in the Mountain.

In our Silversea cruise last August there was alson an option to a charter flight to US.

My best wishes for those in Florida. Keep us posted.

Tourist thing, but it is ok to entertain guests. I must take a course with JP how to write and take pictures of food!

So today I decied to cook for some friends. Salad + rice with duck. We used lava salt from Iceland, wines and chocolates from New Zealand.

Thank you @Host Jazzbeau and @jpalbny I visited the Dali Museum this morning. Tomorrow get back home.

I will be in Tampa this week to attend a conference. I will have 1 free day. Any recomendation? I do not want to go to any park....

Thanks for the infformation about the smell.....

yes, my husband got covid and he stayed 6 days in isolation. we still had opportunity to enjoy the other days and we will be back next year.

I will write a review of ports and excursions and post pictures.

We stayed both times in Hilton Nordica. Our own reservation was to a de-luxe room, not standard one. When we arrived at the hotel, we informed that we would stay for 2 nights: 1 with our own reservation and the second with Silversea reservation. We asked to be in the same room and the hotel agreed upon. About Silversea reservation I must say that we informed we would need the pre cruise hotel very early in the process. But we only informed Silversea that we would need the post cruise hotel very late in the process, and maybe it was the only room left. In both occasion the hotel was fully booked. Appologies for any typo.....
