The next morning, I decided it probably made sense to get up a bit earlier, especially seeing as we would have to leave by mid-afternoon to catch our flight back to London and I wanted to cram in as much as possible into the morning. It was the last day of our trip to Hamburg exploring the … Continue Reading
The Norangsdalen valley is easily one of the most enchanting places in Norway! It’s one of those places that looks and feels like nowhere else you’ve ever visited. Crystal clear lakes, jagged impossibly high snow-clad mountains and roads that wind off with the promise of more amazing sights ahead. Seeing as we had several hours … Continue Reading
Now, as the Kurumba has a lot of choice on offer and we had very limited time to sample all the choices, we had a greedy modern take on dinner. How? By having starters in one restaurant, mains from another and dessert for a third! Even with that though (and lunch from an entirely different … Continue Reading
Castle Combe is one of the most beautiful places you can visit in not near and around the Cotswolds, but in the British countryside, as a whole! It’s such a charming little place and is one of those places most people who visit, pretty much fall in love with straight away! It’s very close to … Continue Reading

My excitement of finally being in Alaska knew no bounds and breakfast disappeared in a flurry as I hurried to hop into appropriate clothes and head out to explore Ketchikan. The plan for the day was pretty simple, hop … Continue Reading
I’ve never sailed a boat before. I’ve been on a boat sailed by someone else, I’ve even gotten very very tipsy on many a boat but never gotten round to sailing it. When we got up on this very morning in Menorca, rain clouds standing guard and ready to pour open at any minute, it … Continue Reading
I feel like it’s a safe assumption to make that you already know by now that we spent a rather long weekend in Gipuzkoa (which is in the Spanish Basque Country). There is a lot to tell you and so as you can imagine, this is a picture heavy post but I feel this is … Continue Reading
Carcassonne is one of those places I’d literally never heard of until just before we booked flights to. My friends and I were looking for a very long weekend getaway (as we do several times a year) and pretty much just scanned the internet for reasonably priced flights going anywhere. Carcassonne popped up as one … Continue Reading
It was my friend’s birthday this weekend and we all converged in the countryside for a proper knees-up to celebrate said birthday! The day itself involved quite a lot of wine, beers and cider – along with generous lashing of delicious pub grub before the evening descended into a state of thoroughly fun organised chaos. The … Continue Reading
