"On my days off, I come here in my kayak. I don't paddle, I just float. And then I wake up in the ocean! It's a long way back." - Joshua, our guide
.
It's really peaceful in the mangrove, it would feel like you have the whole world to yourself and some herons. .
But to me mangrove trees are CREEPY. It looks like impenetrable horror film scenery. .
I expected it to smells like a swamp, but the mangroves replenish oxygen so it smells really fresh. .
It's brackish water, a mix of salt and fresh water, so only the capuchin monkeys can live there. .
The final picture is where the mangrove meets the sea.

Colour shake up. I'm out of the UK and Europe and there are COLOURS here! .
.
Greens right down to yellow sands. Blue skies leak into turquoise Pacific. White clouds fluff up your vision.

December 1st means it's properly winter now! Here's Strangers' Hall in Norwich getting into the spirit of things. .
.
One of the first folk museums in the UK to showcase the lives of ordinary people through the ages. Originally a medieval merchants' house, the cellar would have been used to sell to travelling buyers. .
.
The Great Hall, now the entrance, is built on a slope so that the people at the head of the table are literally higher up than everyone else! I'm sure you can all think of people who still use that management style today...

Brighton Blue!
.
They picked a theme and ran with it, and I loved all the details around the city that used this colour, it really tied it all together and brightened up the city on the wintery day that I visited.
.
Does your city have a theme colour?

🎵 It's a beautiful day but I'm a cynic 🎵
.
.
I've heard people say that you shouldn't wear headphones when walking round the city in case you miss the atmosphere, but I feel the absolute opposite. .
.
Away in my headphones can change the atmosphere for me and bring it to life. .
.
Here's the beautiful Belgian Monk & St John the Baptist Church at Maddermarket.

Got to love that Victorian architecture!
.
.
I'm not sure why they didn't build Brighton train station in a straight line, but I loved the way it curved away into the distance.

Sydney's ferries were so cute, I loved them! These are #Friendship and #Scarborough in front of Harbour Bridge
.
.
They are all named after ships in the First Fleet, so there's one called Freshwater and one called Supply!
.
.
Thanks to @kittypityparty who showed Ben and I how to experience Sydney like a local 🙂 Now I want to go back and visit even more!

Up, up & away! .
.
Not quite how I imagined the Great Glass Elevator but similar. Luckily it stopped at the top though rather shooting into the sky
.
.
The #i360 in Brighton was a great way to see the whole city, and apparently over to the Isle of Wight if the weather allows (like, if you don't visit in November...) .

Barbary macaques roaming free in Stoke on Trent? Yep!
.
.
It was super cool walking round the path in the open forest at Trentham Monkey Forest and with their 140 free range macaques! .
.
They work closely with other conservation efforts and have even released a troop of macaques that were bred in the park back into the wild as there's only 8,000 left in the wild.

Although it doesn't have an official title, this is arguably Europe's smallest museum!
.
.
The Hoosesagg Museum, or "Pants Pocket" museum.
.
.
It's set into the door of a 600-year-old house that's in such a quaint street that the owners got tired of people looking into their property, so they turned it into a museum!
.
.
The collection changes every few weeks. When I visited it was about holiday souvenirs!

Liverpool struck me as a city that has always embraced the future without rewriting its past.
.
.
Here is the black Merseytravel building with its famous skyline in the background.

Sun's out, flags out.
.
.
I'm not normally one for a protest and I know this is different content to norm but sometimes I can't help myself. .
.
Brexit will damage so many lives, and has already caused so much heartache. .
.
Plus it reduces the opportunities for future travel and integration in the next generation.
