My daily blog
What can I say I went to sleep in London, England and woke up in Venice, Italy. A day in the life of a Slayer can be very hectic😜. I have been on a working holiday with my hubby supporting his cricket academy (Ricardo Powell Cricket Academy) in London. But as a working mother I have learnt the importance of taking time out to smell the roses. I have come to accept that even great moms need to recharge and take a #Girlstrip😎.

e of the things I try to do daily is to be present and enjoy everyday for what it has to offer. I love experiencing different cultures. It is a personal hobby of mine to taste different foods. On this trip to the U.K. I decided that I would not venture outside of London. Yeah right. As soon as my touring partner (Vanessa ) called and said she had plane tickets for us to go Venice 🇮🇹 for the following day, I forgot about my plan to sit still. After all it’s Venice.

I
eading about Venice in my European history class and I promised myself that I am going to embrace every opportunity to “Live the life I love and love the life I live .” So that means I will grasp the opportunity to see some of the most beautiful cities in the world. These days I mostly go with the flow and the flow is usually positive vibes.

So I caught uber to London Gatwick met my touring partner at Gatwick airport, and off we went to Venice Italy.

U
g in Venice we took a ferry from the airport to San Marco for what promised to be the most exotic experience of the summer. We arrived by water transportation, through the canals of Italy.

F
n the agenda was shopping, then lunch at an authentic Italian restaurant. We really did not have a fixed agenda as we were open to the Divine to bring us the best experiences the day had to offer. And He did not disappoint.

W
after an hour or so to the island of San Marco in the city of Venice. We had lunch, walked around to find the finest leather handbags a girl could purchase it Italy.

T
ht for me was traveling on the Gondola around the city through the canals. We were able to take in the view of this “sinking city” in all its splendor.

A
were hesitant to get on the Gondola, but we decided that this type of experience is only once in a lifetime and we only live once. So we did it and it was amazing traveling through the city of Venice in the Gondola!!! #Bucketlistchecked.
