Right, now where was I? Oh yes, carrying on from the first part of this post, our starters had just arrived at The Connoisseur Bar in the Guinness Storehouse and they’d disappeared down our greedy gobs much quicker than they’d arrived! Next up, we had the wild atlantic seafood chowder with a sprinkling of Carragheen Irish … Continue Reading
Okay, perhaps not as much the wild side as “the wild”… or at least as wild as a nature trail can be! On this afternoon in Singapore, four of us decided to go explore the MacRitchie Nature Trail (another highly recommend FREE thing to do in Singapore) however as half the party was quite jetlagged, … Continue Reading
Our trip to Nepal was one that we’d been looking forward to for months before we arrived! The very idea of visiting Nepal evoked images of amazing conquests (thanks in large part to this being the gateway to Mount Everest… and some of the world tallest tallest mountains) and just a general sense of mystery … Continue Reading
Right, so assignment handed in and free time restored, we proceeded to discover more of Singapore and in what turned out to be a rather short walk, ended up at the Marina Bay. To be fair, the initial trip to the Bay was to look for either the “Gardens by the Bay” or the “Marina … Continue Reading
After that ‘refreshing’ dip in the Arctic Sea, we meandered slowly through the city centre of Tromso before heading to our new hotel, smack in the centre of the action (I use that term lightly – it was a long public holiday, so the city wasn’t nearly as busy as it typically would be). Our … Continue Reading
And this isn’t some sensationalist title I’m making up, either. The red village of Collonges La Rouge has already been awarded the title of one of the most beautiful villages in France. It is regarded by many as ‘the prettiest’ and is looking to officially cement that with recognition from the French authorities. The title … Continue Reading
Just realised I hadn’t put up the photos of that place we called home while we were in Santorini so here are the photos of the villa we rented while in Santorini… Don’t know if it was a great idea putting these photos up as it’s currently freezing in London and making me so nostalgic … Continue Reading
After our day in the Greenlandic Hot Springs of Uunartoq and a good night’s sleep onboard Ocean Albatros, we finally made it to Qassiarsuk (Brattahlíð). This is one of the first settlements of Erik The Red, who was banished from Iceland centuries ago. In fact, it was the first permanent settlement by European settlers that … Continue Reading
The Isles of Scilly have been so incredible, so far, and we were just itching to explore more of Bryher Island. Seeing as we’d both skipped breakfast earlier in the day, due to a ridiculous lack of planning on both our parts, lunch time at the Fraggle Rock Bar was most certainly a much-anticipated affair. … Continue Reading
We were justifiably excited about our weekend trip to New York. After all, we were going to be off exploring the buzzing and unbelievably vibrant and best areas of New York. The city that never sleeps, the big smoke, the Big Apple. 🍎 After our (almost 1k km) rickshaw across Italy, we had precisely seven … Continue Reading
