The UNESCO World site of Sigiriya (Lion Rock) in Sri Lanka has quite the view and is justifiably one of the most visited sites in Sri Lanka but there’s a view to rival this just across the road from here and I’d like to show you why! First things first though, after that hike up … Continue Reading
You’ve got 10 hours to see the sights in Bali. Okay, the reason you have 10 hours is that you have the car on hire for 10 hours. Well, 9 hours really but you know how to stretch things and get some extra time… And here’s how you do it! First off visit with the … Continue Reading
After our long drive through one of the most scenic routes in the Scottish Highlands, we decided to switch things up a notch and “go slow” (though in all honesty, we’d decided this well in advance of even arriving in Scotland). The day started with a short drive over the bridge to the Isle of … Continue Reading
Okay it wasn’t right across all of Croatia but it was for over 40km (about 25 miles) and seeing as this was out first time doing on quad bikes, I think it’s safe to say it was quite a big deal for both of us. To be fair though, this was one of the things … Continue Reading

What makes it even better is starting the day slowly with an amazing breakfast and boy does The Diplomat do a mean breakfast! Like seriously, it’s the kind that makes you sneak extras out so … Continue Reading
Our flight to Luxembourg left London early. Not ridiculously early but early enough that leaving time to catch an Uber to the airport, checking in and getting breakfast meant that we had to set off early! All in all, I think I had about 3 hours of sleep before the flight. (Lloyd had a lot … Continue Reading
Fuerteventura was one of those islands that had always been on my radar but had somehow never visited. Actually, come to think of it, there are so many things that I always wanted to do and place I’d love to visit (even at home in glorious London Town) but somehow never manage to experience. Case in … Continue Reading
After leaving the absolutely beautiful Schleissheim Palace (and having dinner, of course), we made our way over to Klostergasthof Raitenhaslach – the oldest Cistercian monastery in Upper Bavaria but not ‘to visit’ per se – this is where we would be spending the night in Bavaria.
