After two nights in Chitwan, it was time to say farewell to this fantastic UNESCO World Heritage site and head off in search of more of Nepal! Our next stop was a very important one for Buddhists, not just in Nepal, but across the world – the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Lumbini, the birthplace … Continue Reading
The next day at The Retreat at The Blue Lagoon, we started off with a relaxing swim, then breakfast and a determination to hike to the amazing viewpoint of the newly erupting Meradalir volcano. The Retreat at The Blue Lagoon is perfectly placed in Iceland, as it’s really close to the current eruption sites. If … Continue Reading
One our wine trip to France, we went from one absolutely stunning Chateau, to another to yet another – the Château Belles Vignes (all of which were found on the amazing Oliver’s Travel website). It was gem and after gem and this new one did not disappoint! Alas, on arrival to Bordeaux, with minutes to … Continue Reading

It was quite surprising because we didn’t actually feel tired until we got to the hotel and even though we planned … Continue Reading

The city dates back to Neolithic times (approximately 10,000 BC) so if ever you were looking for a place to explore Spanish history – this would be a pretty good place to start! Thankfully, after our time in Malaga, we decided … Continue Reading
Perfect for a stopover or a quick Swiss city break! Zurich is one of the most popular cities to visit in Switzerland (which is probably the most obvious thing I’ve ever said on here but it’s true). If you’re into anything even remotely Swiss (and trust me on this one, even if it’s just the … Continue Reading
