Central & South America

Going to Mexico, away from the crowds, was something Mr. O and yours truly were very keen to do. But where in Mexico? We didn’t want to put ourselves in any…

After a few disappointing trips to Mexico, I think Los Cabos and the fab Bahia Hotel may make me change my mind..

Going to São Paulo has never been on my bucket list, per se, but I have always been curious about this massive city. On a recent trip to Rio de Janeiro, I decided to take a little detour and spend 24 hours in São Paulo. And delighted to have done so.

We had a bit of fun in Rio de Janeiro – we sunbathed a little, we ate a little, we drank a little.. and we shopped a little (I am a big fat liar, but a lady never tells!). Here are some of the places we have been to and loved. My address book.

I first went and fell in love with Rio de Janeiro some years ago, and was so impressed, I always promised I would go back. It took me 5 years – 5 years too many. To say that Rio de Janeiro is stunning, it is an understatement – it is sexy, “heartbreakingly” beautiful and elegant. Everything a girl wants to be!
