On the LAND of NEVERLAND. (Pont Bon Dieu cave)

Sundays are meant to relax , walk outside ,enjoy the nature and also to tap yourself on the shoulder to get some ice cream since it is summer. haha!
So, this is what I did this Sunday and I landed on  the land of NEVERLAND!
It's a place that I can say near to my house.(maybe,haha)
I've been to La Nicoliere many times. I know this place since my childhood but never have I ever known that there are breathtaking caves on the road to La Nicoliere. I knew there were caves but didn't know that they were that breathtaking. So be ready to be bombarded with loads of photos I took.Enjoy!!

On the way. (Pont Bon Dieu)

Stairs to go down the cave. 

Tricky stairs!

(I was already tired climbing down the stairs!)

Then,ofcourse we got out and went to La Nicoliere.

Summer Cherry cake.

Since my garden is overflown with juicy cherries at the moment,I decided to make a cherry cake.Because why not! With the lead up to summer,all I've been craving is a summer fruit cake.
So I'm listing below all the ingredients and the method I've used.Let me know if you bake it, I'm sure you will not regret it.

INGREDIENTS:

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour(You can use whole wheat flour to make it healthier.)
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/4 cup granulated sugar.(I used brown sugar)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 eggs,separated
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon butter
350 gram of cherries,drained(about 1 cup)

METHOD:

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees celsius.

Grease the pan with butter.

Stir the flour and baking powder together in a mixing bowl.

Separate the eggs.Put the white into a a separate bowl for beating later.

In another mixing bowl,beat the egg yolks with an electric mixer.Add the sugar and beat.

Add the yogurt to the eggs and sugar and beat in.

Add the oil and beat in.

Stir in the dry ingredients.

Using clean beaters, beat the egg whites until they hold peaks and stay where they are when turned upside down.

Use a spatula to fold the beaten egg whites into the batter.

Gently fold in th drained cherries.

Transfer the batter into into the prepared pan and place into  the preheated oven.

Bake for 30 minutes or until the toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Remove and let cool.

SUMMER = CHERRIES

When you say SUMMER then you must definitely say CHERRIES! YAY!( haha.)
This is one of the things that i love about  summer, fresh fruits,succulent fruits that is summer fruits.

I love picking fruits and picking cherries from the garden at the back of my house is a must for me.

This is the time of the year in Mauritius where cherries are available.

The weather was not that good in the morning,but it didn't hamper me from getting my basket and  go into the garden to pick some of the ripe ones.Although there were drips of water falling on my face while I was struggling to pick the ones that was on the upper part of the tree,it was FUN!

I was successful in my attempt of trying to pick cherries from the upper part of the tree and the result was  fruitful. I got a basket full of fruits(haha),yeah a basket full of cherries.I was the happiest!
I love having them in my cereal in the morning or make crumble with them.

What's your favourite fruit ?

S U M M E R

My exams just got over last week and  to De-stress myself, I went to the beach with my family since it is summer.
Everybody has a happy place where one can be relaxed and mine is definitely the beach.I just love the beach, I don't know why but there is something about it that makes me forget everything and  makes me feel relaxed! Life is a beach they say,or so they say which really applies to me.

Firstly,I love the beach because of its tranquility and serenity which acts as a great help to help me De-stress!

Secondly,why I love the beach so much is because of its water.I am an aquaphile!

I love water a lot,even if it is a bit chilly ,i still have to dip my toes into the water.It brings me so much peace!

I recently came across a quote that said, 

  "You are one step closer to Heaven when you are at the beach," and I think it really is, as it sums the feeling i have of the beach.

The beauty of the beach makes me realise how beautiful the nature is and puts into perspective  what is really important to me.

Even though I have been to the beach millions of times, every time I go, I find something new and exciting about it. Taking a walk along the shore, I am always astounded by how many different shells and rocks I find.

Here is a picture of me. I'm loving my tan!

I am desperate now to grab my beach bag and go to the beach again.
