When we arrived at Pashupatinath Temple, I don’t think I realised how big it actually was. You arrive at this seemingly unassuming date, walk through a fairly quiet walkway and before you know it, you’re in the heart of one of Nepal’s most sacred sites. Like Boudhanath before, Pashupatinath Temple is also a UNESCO World … 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
Ever since we laid out our plans for Vancouver, there was one thing I was really looking forward to – that thing was heading over to Whistler for the day. This was partly because I’d never gotten to visit Whistler before but mostly because the views on the way over were said to be absolutely … Continue Reading
On our final day in St Kitts, we woke up to what was something of a surprise – clouds in the sky! It’d been sunny all week that the idea of rain here almost seemed impossible. 😀 (which is silly of course because rain is why the island is so lush and green). Don’t let … Continue Reading
One of the biggest sights I’d wanted to see in Bergen was the UNESCO World Heritage site of Bryggen. I’d spoken about it on the blog before and so when we finally booked our flights to Bergen, this was something I’d put at a high priority on my itinerary! First things first though, we checked … Continue Reading
I do love a good getaway… especially to Bristol! In any case, off I’m out and about exploring Bristol in more detail this weekend and so far so good. I swear there’s just something about summertime in the UK generally that makes every city that extra bit special. I’ve been fairly relaxed all evening, chilling … Continue Reading
To get into the Dordogne Valley, you will most likely arrive at Brive or Bergerac airport (unless of course, if you drive in) and while there’s not an awful lot to do in Brive, it’s still worth a little visit, even if just for a few hours. To start, head over to the market for … Continue Reading
As per my previous post, our trip to Italy has started already and the weather has been amazing here! We’ve been so busy every day seeing the sights (which is just how I like it) and I’ve had so much I wanted to share with you at every place we’ve been in so far. If … Continue Reading
After lunch in Chateau de Lissac, our next stop was a chocolatier – where I finally found our how they made those hollow chocolates (you know like the Easter egg ones or the chocolate bunnies) before heading to our home for the night in a little town called Terrasson. Best part of the evening? Plans … Continue Reading
After our brilliant night, we got up bright and early to set off on a long drive to Udawalawe National Park where the plan was to safari in the morning and lunch in the afternoon. Thankfully free of a hangover (or perhaps still ‘merry’ from the night before), I hurried through breakfast and promptly fell … Continue Reading
After our brilliant morning cycling through Vancouver, we made our way over to Nightingale for lunch. Nightingale is one of the most recommended places by locals (pretty much everyone we asked or told kept telling us how good it was) and so we arrived with rather lofty expectations (and a growing rumble in our tummies). … Continue Reading
This day in Bavaria was all about nature and although we’d started off the trip looking to see amazing palaces and castles (of which there are some pretty spectacular hidden gems here), taking a moment to appreciate Germany’s stunning countryside was just such an amazing way to spend a day! After leaving Walchensee, we headed … Continue Reading
I’m such a huge fan of embracing the seasons. In summer-time, I want to spend every possible moment soaking up the sunshine outdoors. In autumn, I want to marvel at the dramatic change in nature as the leaves turn from what is almost ‘uniform green’ to all the many beautiful hues from reds to oranges. … Continue Reading
*Heads up – this is a huge blog post so you might wanna grab yourself a cuppa tea and raid the pantry for biscuits before you start… 😄 After an amazing day in Machu Picchu, we arrived back into Machupicchu (the village – also known as Aguas Caliente) absolutely knackered and so ravenous! Like so hungry … Continue Reading
