Leaving the Dead Sea, our next stop in Israel was heading for another somewhat extreme environment – the Negev Desert. The scenery as you leave the Dead Sea is pretty amazing, by the way… More specifically actually our next stop within the Negev desert was Makhtesh Ramon – the largest erosion crater in the world. … Continue Reading
Barcelona has been a firm favourite to visit for quite a while so as soon as we arrived, I wasted no time in doing the regular hotel faffing around and instead chucked my coat on, grabbed my camera and headed straight out of the door! Seeing as our hotel was smack in the middle of … Continue Reading
Florence is a fantastic city to behold! Even aspects of it that would seem a tad odd in other cities in the world somehow manage to be beautiful in Florence. Florence definitely packs a lot of Tuscan charm and so it’s almost certain that the best way to take in the city is to get … Continue Reading
We arrived in Valencia fairly late in the evening and although it wasn’t quite midnight, by the time, we were picked up at the airport, checked into the hotel and got ready for dinner, it was getting closer and closer to midnight. By this point though, past experience had already taught us to expect dinner fairly … Continue Reading

First off we started in Amsterdam, then carried on to London (transiting for a few hours in London), followed by a 12 hour flight to Lima (Peru) followed by an 8 hour overnight transit at the airport overnight, of which we planned to … Continue Reading

First up, I wanted to update the list of our travel plans so far with some more destinations we plan on visiting. Within … Continue Reading
But first, let’s carry on where we left off (the previous post is available here if you haven’t seen it yet)… After our day exploring Tromso, we were very pleased with the idea of dinner followed by a quick dip in the hot tub (though perhaps it might have made sense to do it the … Continue Reading
For how hot Chitwan is during the day, it does tend to cool off considerably come night time! So much so that getting a good night’s sleep comes very easy. The next morning, we got up bright and early and pretty much rushed through breakfast – eager to make the most of our time in … Continue Reading
I’d been to Pisa before and so in a lot of ways, I wasn’t expecting to see anything new yet this trip to Pisa both surprised and impressed me!I managed to cram in more sights this time and see aspects I’d missed out on the first time around and gain a fresh perspective on Pisa! … Continue Reading
After spending our last morning in Port Elizabeth in the Red Location township, we headed back to the city for a quick tour around the city (which, as it turns out, is the only thing we hadn’t really done at this point). We went past the stadium (World Cup fans probably recognise it) and zoomed … Continue Reading
