Pink Flor in Puerto Rico - 14th September 2015

Puerto Rican Beer - mmmmmm
View from my Hotel Balcony. Need to get to that beach
Love this cobbled road..... Have to go a car is coming!
Found some new friends. But they need to improve their manners as they poop every where
Can you see me?
The main gate to Puerto Rico. Once used by royalty. Perfect I renewed the tradition.

This is the place.
Now we're talking. Found the good stuff.
En suite shower. What could be better

Too much sun, Lucky I found this parasol.
Nice wine with dinner.
Had to hire this body guard to protect me from my internet fans.

At last the beech. Now where is the waiter?



I always wanted to drive a trolley. One more off my bucket list.
Now that is a bottle of wine!
An apartment made for me. This is the smallest apartment in the world.

Went to see the Chapel, but alas it was closed.
Went shopping and fell in love with this hat. Great for the sun.

Hendricks, Tonic and Cucumber perfect
Followed by octopus cerviche
Puerto Rican rum, mmmmm delicious
I capped off the night by singing a number with the band


Salsa night
Italian Pasta on the last night. Why do holidays finish so quickly

Pink Flor in Chicago - 2nd July 2015

Signature Lounge on the 95th floor of the Hancock Tower.

Mmmm Prosecco, I like this.
What a view, I can see all of Chicago from here.
Whoaaaaa. Is the tower leaning or is the prosecco effect?
Weber Grill Restaurant...... Burgers please.
Live Music at Shaw's Crab House. The band played my favourite tunes.
I wonder if I could join the band. Might need a smaller guitar though.
A Flor sized Rhubarb Crumble
Water Taxi, Yippee
Great views. Trump Tower is just behind

Pink Flor travels to Santa Fe de Antioquia - May 1st 2015


Flor stopped by the River Cauca for a late lunch before arriving at Santa Fe
Mmmmm nice cold Rum and Coke
Flor liked the Colombian Soda.
Lunch was Fried Fish, Patacones, Rice and Salad.
At last, in Santa Fe. Flor needed a cool shower in the town fountain.
Floe just loved the church and the town market.
What shall I buy? A hat, some Jewellery, local fruits? Decisions decisions
This is the way to travel, a Flor sized traditional bus called a Cheva

Pink Flor's Adventures in the Colombian Amazon April 26th 2015

This was Pink Flor's first trip to the Amazon, so he booked a flight on Copa Airlines, and flew to the Amazona city of Leticia in south East Colombia.

Fasten your seat belt sir!
Where's my drink!


Typical Pink Flor - decided to climb a coconut palm at the hotel.

Then he decided to go 'Skinny Dipping' in the pool after closing.

Flor finished the night off with a local fruit juice cocktail

Off to the Amazon River in a luxury boat!! Not so sure about the captain

Flor points out that the Blue house near his left ear is in Colombia, and the remaining 3 houses between his ears are in Brazil

Giant Lilies. Flor wanted to walk on them, but was scarred of the cayman crocodiles

Ouch that hurts, please take care
Watch out for my eyes......


Not again, first Parrots, and now Monkeys. Please don't bite me, or kidnap me.

This is safer. Not so bad this Monkey Island

Quiet boat ride through the mangroves
'Puerto Narino' Its a little high here, Flor was just a little scared of falling

But worth it in the end for the views of the Amazon river and jungle



Flor refused to walk further so hitched a lift with a hiker
Watching the Brazilian Fisherman was fun. but the big one got away.



Perfect end to the day. Sitting in Brazil, with Colombia over my right shoulder and Peru over my left.
