This region of Norway is gorgeous, especially from the best viewpoint in Bergen. After our late lunch in Bryggen, we made our way to the Fløibanen station to take the funicular up to Mount Fløyen for the best view of all of Bergen! This view is particularly spectacular as the sun sets so make sure … Continue Reading
Grand Central Station is one of those places in New York that I often wonder why I pop in to see. Almost every time I’ve been here, I’ve had no business visiting the station. No trains to catch, no shops to visit, no business somewhere-nearby which means it’s convenient enough to just pop in… None … Continue Reading
As much as I would love to take credit for deciding that this is indeed one of the most dramatic cities in Europe, other people did this way ahead of me and a trip to this city only further corroborated that designation. Orvieto truly is something else! The city is built on almost vertical cliffs … Continue Reading
As far as Greek holidays go, it’s probably safe to say that the islands (and some of the bigger cities in-land) tend to get most of the attention. Everyone wants (or has) that amazing photo of Santorini, Mykonos or Athens and very little spare a thought for some of the more rustic parts on the … Continue Reading
Dyr-what now? I know – it’s quite a tongue twister, isn’t it? Dyrhólaey is a magnificent little spot with not much else around it but grand natural landscapes. It’s one of those places in Iceland that you never really hear people talk about and is sometimes considered as off the beaten track but is definitely … Continue Reading
Now that’s a mouthful of title if ever there was one! Tomorrow, the 1st of July, is Canada Day (well it’s probably already ‘today” in some countries) and it’s not just your average Canada Day – it’s the 150th anniversary of Canada existing as a Confederation (which from what I recall is essentially when all … Continue Reading
Recently, we returned to Tokyo, one of my absolute favourite cities for a chance to a.) explore even more of this amazing city and b.) test run an amazing app which is due to act as something of a ‘cure’ to jetlag. If you’ve been on our Instagram, then you’ll know more about this so … Continue Reading
Swiftly following on from the 1st part, here are the rest of the photos from the old town of Gdansk. This photo below was probably the very first one I put on Instagram after we arrived in Gdansk. I’d spent the past few hours going “WOW!!!” at every street corner and by this point. Honestly, … Continue Reading
Aacck! Can’t believe I haven’t put there pictures up yet! 🙂 These photos have all been edited on my phone (huge kudos to VSCO – love that app) but I’d been so distracted by the fact that this was our very first trip to Turkey (and perhaps by all the Turkish food) that I hadn’t gotten round … Continue Reading
Straight off the back of New York came Rio de Janeiro! Rio was something of an experience… So here’s the thing – the city has a reputation for being unsafe but it also has a reputation for being one of the most beautiful cities out there so it’s just hard trying to figure out what … Continue Reading
