Snorkelling trip Bonaire
Snorkelling trip Bonaire

 

Early in the morning on day 4 of our 10 night cruise we arrived at Bonaire. This Island is under Dutch rule and the citizens hold Dutch passports. The people here are a mix of Caucasians, Africans, Asians etc. The languages spoken are Dutch, English and a local dialect.

The 1st thing we did was snorkelling, then afterwards we went back to the ship for a freshen up and have lunch, then we went for a walk in the city which is very close to the port. It was good that the ship stayed here until evening so we had a chance to expore more of island.

In the evening we went back to the ship ready for cruising and exciting for the next adventure tomorrow in  Aruba:)

Our 10 Night Cruise Starts Here, Fort Lauderdale USA, Dec 1st 2012

 

Onboard MSC Poesia Cruise

 

Three continents. Our journey began in Asia – the Middle East, crossed Europe and the Atlantic Ocean, then finally, North America. Finally, after two long flights we arrived in Miami, Florida. We stayed there for just one night to rest, then continued on to Fort Lauderdale so that we could be close to Port Everglades from where our cruise would depart. We stayed here for one night and the following day we boarded the MSC Poesia for our 10 night cruise to Bonaire Island (under Dutch rule), Aruba, Colombia, Panama and Jamaica.

This was my second cruise. My first was a Princess Cruise on our honeymoon back in 2004, so I was really excited. For my daughter Malaika it was her 3rd and for my son Amani is his 2nd. My husband and I believe it’s really important and worthwhile to give the kids a chance to expore the world as much as possible and learn about different people, places and cultures. To be honest we are starting to see the benefit of it for them. They’re more exposed for their age and understand the world more than most kids in their age for that we’re very pleased.

The 1st impression of cruise was wow!

This weekend we decided to take my little sister Tina to see Wadi Dayqah Dam and to have a chance to see a little bit of Oman country side. Even though was too sunny but we had an amazing time, the place is beautiful.

 

Fun In The Lazy River @Al Waha, Shangri-La Hotel Oman. Aug, 2012

In the pool by night with my kids and my baby sis Tina @Al Waha

 

It’s a good feeling sometimes when you felt like a kid again, that’s what we felt when we were cruising around lazy river then splushing the water at the pool. The kids were so happy and they had a great time, smilling all the way. That’s what we call fun:))))

Family Holiday in Khao Kheeo, Thailand. 2010

Flight of the gibbon

 

What an adventure!  Baada ya kuenjoy Pattaya tukaenda Khao Kheeo kupata adventure ya Flight of the Gibbon ni sehemu maalum imetengwa kwa ajili ya national park. Tulifikia Estete ni Tents hotel ina mandhari ya kuvutia sana. Pia nilifurahishwa sana na design ya bathroom zake ambazo zilikua zina usafi wa hali ya juu. Kipindi hiki kilikua ni cha mvua kidogo ambapo kwa upande wangu nilifurahia sana kulala kwenye tents huku mvua inanyesha ilinikumbusha mbali sana enzi hizo nilipokua nafanya kazi Red Cross Kasulu Kigoma Tanzania.

Was nice kuona upande mwingine wa Thailand ambapo huku ni mainland. Na kupata adventure ya kutembelea Zoo mida ya usiku ambapo tuliweza kumsogelea Tiger kwa karibu zaidi and of course without forget Flight of the Gibbon oh dear another new adventure in my life, that’s way I like it. Cheers!!!!

Family Holiday Krabi, Thailand. 2010

At Sunrise resort Krabi with my kids

 

Siamini mara ya kwanza nilikuaja hapa miaka saba iliyopita, hii ni mara yangu ya nne. Kitu cha kuchekesha na kizuri ni kwamba kila tukirudi wanatupa the same room ambayo tulikaa 2003 how sweet. Sunrise Resort and Railay never disappointed us and again we had an awasome time. No adventure this time just relax and enjoy until next time cheers!!!!

Family Holiday Krabi, Thailand. 2009

My baby Malaika at Railay beach

 

We love Railay Krabi, tunazidi kurudi hapa karibu kila mwaka, mambo yanabadilika kwa kasi sana. Maendeleo yanaongezeka mara ya kwanza tulipokuja 2003 kulikua na hoteli chache sana, sasa hivi zimeongezeka maradufu na kufanya kuwepo na choice nyingi ya wapi upate lunch au dinner.

Kitu ambacho bado hakijabadilika ni ukarimu wa watu  nadhani ndio sababu kubwa ambayo inatufanya tuendelee kurudi. Ni sehemu ya kila mtu uwe single, couple au ukiwa na watoto kila mtu atafurahia holiday yake.Sisi bado tunafikia the same hotel kila mara tukiwa Railay Krabi Sunrise Hotel kwa kweli hatuna cha kucomplain kabisa kuhusu hotel hii. Huduma zao ni nzuri sana na wafanyakazi wake ni wakarimu kweli pia bei yao ni ya kuridhisha.
