Puerto Rico - Day 5

My long awaited trip to Culebra was planned today. We took a ferry from Ceiba. 





We got a rental car and first stop was one of the top 10 beaches in the world, the Flamenco beach! It was truly beautiful. Water colour was so so good…and beach was surrounded by mountains! After dipping in water there second stop was Tamarino beach. On the way saw many tamarind trees and got to pick up some! Tasted fresh tamarind after many years.






Also saw toor shenga someone growing in their yard. 


Tamarino beach we did snorkelling, it was great to see tons of colourful fishes in their original habitation. Jai went in deep water without snorkel. He did great job of swimming. He saw a turtle too, it was bounds for him. 




We ate at a very fancy taco place in Culebra. I had tamarind margarita, made from local tamarind. Shri’s local passion fruit beer was also tasty. Food was good too, ended with rose and passion fruit ice cream!




Took last ferry to come back!

A Journey Through Sunshine and Serenity: Our Florida Getaway

Embarking on a journey to Fort Lauderdale, our adventure began with a serene stay at the Miami Beach Ocean View Hotel. We reached late to hotel and when we opened our eyes, it was a pleasant welcome by morning sunrays. The first day was a delightful blend of cultures, starting with the vibrant Wynwood Walls neighborhood, where the gelato’s authenticity transported me straight to Italy. Dinner was an elegant affair at a chic restaurant, setting the tone for the days ahead. The second day greeted us with a hearty breakfast at South Beach, followed by an exhilarating bike ride along the Hollywood Beach Boardwalk with Jai. The thrill of surfing was complemented by the taste of fresh fish tacos and the unique Shark Tank drink. Jai really enjoyed surfing and tacos. As the day waned, Häagen-Dazs ice cream for me and frozen yogurt for Jai were the perfect sweet treats before an evening spent basking in the ocean’s embrace. On the third day, We savored  Einstein Miami bagel, a perfect start...

Canadian Rockies - Day 2 - The Dream Day: Larch Valley Hike & Moraine Lake Magic

We started our second day in the Canadian Rockies with our little tradition — a steaming cup of masala tea. There’s nothing like that comforting aroma to kick off an adventurous morning. While sipping our tea, we had a great chat with our wonderful host, Jeremy -  a biker, traveler, and author of two books. He’s been around the world on his bike, and listening to his stories was truly inspiring. After breakfast, it was time for one of the most anticipated parts of our trip - the Larch Valley hike and visiting my dream destination, Moraine Lake! We grabbed some Subway sandwiches from Banff downtown to fuel up later on the trail and then headed toward Moraine Lake by shuttle. We started the hike around 12:30 PM, and wow — it was steep and challenging right from the beginning. But every step upward brought more breathtaking views of Moraine Lake below. The turquoise water kept peeking through the trees as we climbed higher and higher. As we gained elevation, the larches turned gold...
