After a drive from London to Bath (via Stonehenge and Salisbury), I was pretty ravenous. I didn’t even think to pack snacks in the car (rookie mistake) so there was nothing throughout the journey over to take the edge off the hungry rumbling in my tummy (asides a cheeky pasty at Stonehenge). As soon as … Continue Reading
Our second day in Yorkshire begun the way every good morning in England should – with a full English breakfast complete with all the works. Fed and ready to explore even more of this beautiful part of England, we hot-footed it from our lodge at the Ravenshall Hotel over to nearby Robin Hood Bay. Now, … Continue Reading
But first things first – dinner! See, after our evening exploring the picturesque city of Maribor (Slovenia’s second-largest city), we’d worked up quite the appetite and there was no better place to quell said appetite than the delightful restaurant called Rozmarin – one of the best restaurants in the city (also home to a rather … Continue Reading
After our day as beekeepers in Devon (still fascinated by those little critters), we headed out the very next morning (post-breakfast) to explore even more of Devon. We made our way over to the seaside town of Ilfracombe, where we decided to hop aboard a boat to get a different perspective on this pretty part … Continue Reading
My first meal in (albeit on my second trip to) Amsterdam was a KFC meal. I felt so guilty afterwards but, I thought to myself, “I’ve been to Amsterdam before and the KFC branch is just right there… and I’m really starving”. Needless to say, I rationalised it to myself and 30 minutes later, carb-ed up and … Continue Reading
Swiftly following on from our time in Oia and Fira, we woke up bright and early for our early morning pick up by George from Santorini Tours. The tour was bespoke and so no concrete plans were made without speaking to us first. Having just been to Oia and Fira, we pretty much said we’d … Continue Reading
I’m not even sure why we initially decided to hike up Huayna Picchu. I certainly knew nothing of the amazing view in-store at the top. I rarely ever go out of my way to climb mountains. Then there’s the fact that doing anything strenuous at high altitude becomes even more difficult as you find yourself … Continue Reading
When in Bali, one activity that comes highly recommend is driving, walking or even cycling (if you’re brave enough) up to the village of Kintamani to get a fantastic view of Mount Batur. Mount Batur is an active volcano (the last eruption was in 2000) and is also bordered by Danau Batur (a lake) which … Continue Reading
When we arrived in Jasper, we’d originally had a whole day set aside for skiing in Marmot Basin. With the change of plans on the first day which saw us explore the amazing Pyramid Island, lake and mountain area, before heading off to the Icefields Parkway instead of Maligne Canyon and hence moving Maligne Canyon … Continue Reading
This is the 2nd part of this post if you missed part 1; catch it here. Okay, so where were we? Right, we were still at the Laugarvatn Fontana, where I’d made the decision to cool off by jumping into the freezing river. It’s a very shallow river by the way but that notwithstanding, it … Continue Reading
