Is Ubud Monkey Forest In Bali Safe? What You Need To Know Before Visiting

ubud monkey forest

My first visit to the Monkey Forest was fraught with an unnecessary amount of anxiety. One of us, can’t remember who it was (all I know is that it wasn’t me 😀 ) mentioned how the monkeys in the forest were kinda crazy and would attack people for food or even for things like their … Continue Reading

An Amazing View From Maui To The Big Island of Hawaii

amazing view maui

After a couple of nights in Maui, we decided to hop over to the Big Island of Hawai’i (which is confusingly also called the island of Hawai’i 😄). We’d decided in advance of actually arriving to do this and so we had our tickets booked weeks in advance (probably best to do it this way … Continue Reading

Just in case you somehow missed the TV adverts, street lights and holiday sales promotions –  Christmas time’s just around the corner!

By now you already know we’ve spent the last week in Iceland, and boy was it a fun and rather action-packed week. Now, this is the first part of a two-part post. It’s split into two parts as there are way too many photos to fit into one post.  The second post is available immediately over … Continue Reading

Our arrival in Iceland was dramatic to, say the least – in large part due to a volcano eruption in Iceland which had apparently been brewing for weeks but we had no idea about. As it was a pretty early morning flight from London (the kind that you have to start your day at like … Continue Reading

Things To Do In Cologne, Germany: Cologne Cathedral, Kölsch Beer And The Fairground

things cologne germany

Cologne Cathedral is as amazing as they said it would be! I’d seen it briefly when we arrived by train the night before but didn’t have much time to explore it (nor would I have wanted to with our luggage in tow) so I was justifiably excited to finally get to see it properly (especially … Continue Reading
