We woke to flurries of snow this morning. And, swapped our hotel room for a ship cabin!

With blizzard conditions expected in New York, we're glad to be on our way to warmer climes.

Our passion for independent travel means we're a little out of our comfort zone on a big ship so you can imagine how we felt boarding our cruise.

While the majority of the passengers were filling up on food and alcohol we were checking out the fitness facilities. We waited until the dining areas had cleared before enjoying our lunch without the pandemonium.

We have a couple of days to get used to shipboard life before we reach our first destination in the Caribbean.

Stay tuned!

Saturday in New York!

A day of walking, walking and then more walking in

A day of walking, walking and then more walking in Manhattan today.

The rain cleared and we saw patches of blue sky and felt the warmth of the sun as the day progressed.

Central Park still has lots of snow on the ground and the lakes are frozen over. This doesn't deter the locals from their regular walks, runs and Saturday catch ups in the Park. There were lots of people making the most of the good weather.

In the afternoon we made our way to Lower Manhattan via the Vessel, Highline Walkway and Hudson River promenade. We paid our respects to the victims at tne 9/11 Memorial and looked inside the Oculus before walking over the Brooklyn Bridge with hundreds of others.

As we passed through Times Square last night it was filled with Muslims attending night prayers during Ramadan. Tonight, the Square was closed off again. This evening, Jewish youth filled the Square to celebrate Jewish pride and unity. Both are long-standing events hosted in Times Square annually.

Waling gave us a chance to observe New Yorkers and the thousands of tourists currently in town going about their day. The best part of travelling independently 😊

The rain arrived as predicted today so it was a sl

The rain arrived as predicted today so it was a slower start with no morning walk. Instead, we made use of our well equipped hotel gym before heading outside.

We spent a considerable amount of time in the city on a previous visit and have seen all the major attractions so we don't feel any pressure to run around seeing them all again. Instead, we're just enjoying the city vibes and seeing where our feet take us.

Our wanderings this afternoon took us past the ice skating rink at the Rockefeller Centre, then into St Patrick's Cathedral with its beautiful stained glass windows, then revisited the New York Public Library and Grand Central Station.

Our day ended with an Italian meal at @trattoriatrecolorinyc
Delicious food, exquisite wine and great service.

Fingers crossed for better weather tomorrow 🤞🤞🤞

We arrived in New York this evening. It's our first stop on our three week getaway.

After 19 hours of flying we swapped balmy Brisbane temperatures for the crisp cold weather here in NYC.

Our hotel @tempotimessquare is right on Times Square and we were offered a room looking over the Square.

We took the opportunity to join the others in this iconic landmark before heading off for a late dinner.

We hope you enjoy a few snaps we took of the bright lights in the city that never sleeps!

The Valley of the Temples in Agrigento, Sicily.

We arrived at the UNESCO World Heritage listed site at dusk to experience the evening atmosphere. It was even more stunning than on our last visit.

The Valley of the Temples is home to some of the best preserved Greek ruins outside of Greece and a must-do if you're planning a trip to Sicily.

You won't be disappointed!

Scroll through for a taste of what you'll find.

A glimpse throygh the city walls of St Peter Cathe

A glimpse throygh the city walls of St Peter Cathedral in the south western German city of Worms.

Worms was just one of the smaller cities which we took the opportunity to stop and explore when driving from Heidelberg to Frankfurt.

The 12th century Cathedral and its tall spires is one of the features. While not as heavily adorned as most others, we spent some time inside looking at the beautiful stained glass windows and enjoying the peacefulness inside.

The city boasts being one of the oldest in Germany. Much of the city's old walls remain and with no other tourists it proved to be just one of the perfect places to stop enroute to Frankfurt.

If you're planning a trip in southern Germany then make sure follow us here. We'll share some of the others in upcoming posts soon.

A flashback to our wonderful morning exploring the ancient Spanish city of Toledo.

It's known as the "City of Three Cultures" blending it's Christian, Muslim and Jewish history. You'll find reflections of this everywhere you turn in the beautiful city.
