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
Breakfast the next morning in Odemira consisted of many-a-sweet treat eaten lazily while watching the weather decide what it wanted to do. The forecast that week has been for rain (which is not a bad thing judging from how beautiful this sets off the coast line here) but by the time we were done with … Continue Reading
A return to Lisbon was something that was always on the cards. It’s just one of those cities that is so easy to fall in love with, fall in step with and quite frankly, feel at home in. (I long since added it to the list of cities I’d happily move to). And so, with … Continue Reading
Back in Toronto after a few fantastic and very relaxed days in Niagara-on-the-Lake, we checked into the Delta Hotel, which it turns out has one of the best views in Toronto. The Delta is right next to the CN Tower and if you get the change, it’s totally worth bagging yourself access to the Executive … Continue Reading
The day after we had our sailing trip across Santorini, there was one thing that we all had on minds that all wanted to to – climbing that mountain in the middle of the Caldera! The very next day, we headed out to Fira and got our tickets to do just that! First things first … Continue Reading
Leaving the beautiful ancient city of Jerusalem, our next stop on the trip was an area here’s a bit of a contentious issue (to put it lightly) – The West Bank. So here’s the thing, arriving into this area, we knew there was a conflict between Israelis and Palestinians however, the true nuances behind why … Continue Reading
It wasn’t really ‘a day’ as much as it was ‘an evening’ as we had to hurriedly drop the car at the airport in Pisa and make our way over to Florence via other means. This was by bus to be exact. See, the train has issues, it kinda works but you still have to … Continue Reading
Bali is a truly diverse holiday destination to visit, with so many things to see. From stunning lakes and beaches to amazing views of volcanoes, Bali’s diverse scenery is rivalled only by the diversity of its people and here are some of them; along with the skills they possess: 1.) The Weaver 2.) The Food … Continue Reading
After an amazing time exploring the islands in Phang Nga Bay (see posts here and here), it was fair to say that by the time we got back to the mainland, we were knackered! It was quite surprising because we didn’t actually feel tired until we got to the hotel and even though we planned … Continue Reading
We arrived into Generalife absolutely panting after running all the way from the Alhambra. With our flights to catch in a few hours and palace entry closing in less than an hour, speed was of the essence. Thankfully, Generalife is so much smaller than the Alhambra and so after a short walk through the elaborate … Continue Reading
After leaving the Interpretation Centre in Antigua (see the first part of this post to find out more about what it is and why it’s important), we headed for Shirley Heights. Shirley Heights is famed in Antigua for it’s sunday parties and beautiful sunsets (seriously, you can even see the island of Montserrat from up here) and so … Continue Reading
Upon arrival in Vancouver, as soon as we checked into the hotel, the first thing I noticed as soon as I stepped out onto the balcony was this huge mountain in the distance. I was intrigued to know what it was but way too hungry to find out, we went for food and to explore … Continue Reading
Neuschwanstein castle is arguably the most famous and definitely one of the most impressive of all the castles in Germany and our trip to Bavaria just wouldn’t be complete without visiting. The first thing I wanted to do when we arrived there was find the best view point to take it all in but here’s … Continue Reading
After seeing the magnificent Puente Nuevo bridge, (especially coupled with that uphill walk), all I could think about was lunch! (Yes, even before carrying on with exploring the rest of the city). As it turns out, lunch was quite an unremarkable affair so I’ll just skip past that one, and instead take you on a … Continue Reading
