This morning, I was walking, under the Cape Town sun, along the Sea Point promenade. People were walking, running, kayaking, cycling and playing with their kids and dogs.
The Sea was on my right with Robben Island in the background and the view of the majestic Lions Head Mountain on my left.
That’s it! A choice of activities for cheap, a luxurious Nature and YOU in the middle! Take a deep breath, look around and just smile!!!!
Once again, it came to my mind, without no doubt that I have made the most amazing choice of my life when I decided to escape from France 7 years ago and live in this beautiful city. Sapristi! How lucky I am!

Now that the threat of a H1N1 pandemic in Mexico has subsided, it is considered safe for the reasonably healthy to travel there. Relying heavily on tourism, many cities have been hard hit by the travel restrictions that were imposed during the height of the crisis. It has been reported that in Mexico City alone the losses are in excess of four million USD per day. In an effort to bounce back from the financial trauma inflicted on the local economy by the flu virus and the preceding global financial crisis, most resorts and hotels are offering amazing deals in an effort to rebuild. Tour operators and airlines, also hard hit, are offering promotions and upgrades in the hopes of returning to some semblance of normalcy.
If you have ever wanted to explore Mexico and wish to stretch your dollar as far as possible, this is your golden opportunity. With airfares slashed as low as 45% below 2008 rates and hotels/resorts as much as 15%, the time to book is now. Those lucky enough to have guests are extending over the top service hoping that word will get around and the tourists will start flowing in.
