So after our full day exploring Wadi Rum (you can see all of that in this blog post here), we decided to finish things off with some tea and music with the locals as we watched the sun set. We did scramble up higher for a view over the desert to make the most of … Continue Reading
On our second day in Wadi Rum, after our little taster with the sunset rides and star gazing the night before, we finally got to head out and explore the breadth and depth of Wadi Rum properly. To say we were excited would be something of an understatement. We got up bright and early, wolfed … Continue Reading
After leaving the amazing ancient lost Kingdom of Petra, our next stop in Jordan would be in Wadi Rum, the desert so famous you’ve already seen it even if you hadn’t realised it at the time. So many movies have been filmed here, like Dune, The Martian, Aladdin, Prometheus and quite a few Star Wars … Continue Reading
Leaving Little Petra, we made our way over to Petra via a stop-off for lunch, as when we arrived back in Petra we would be looking for a viewpoint that we’d seen so many times in photos and videos (before arriving in Petra). As obvious as the viewpoint seemed, we had no idea how to … Continue Reading
After our day travelling down to the Dead Sea in Jordan and visiting some of it’s most incredible historical sights along the way, we made it back to Petra just as the sun set. This was perfect timing as on this evening, we had already booked tickets to go to the ancient lost city of … Continue Reading
After our first proper day exploring the ancient lost Kingdom of Petra in Jordan (also see our second post here from when we visited the ancient Monastery in Petra), we decided to spend the next day exploring even more of Jordan by venturing up north towards the Dead Sea. Except, instead of just heading straight … Continue Reading
By our fourth day in Merida in Mexico, it felt like we’d pretty much seen most of the major sites to see in Merida (especially on this day and then on this day for the incredible cenotes and Mayan ruins just outside of Merida) but there was one place that we still hadn’t covered yet … Continue Reading
So after our day spent exploring some of the best things to do in Merida in Mexico, our next day was spent exploring the best things to do outside of Merida. A big one for us was visiting the ancient Mayan temple of Uxmal, venturing to some local Haciendas (which are like these really old … Continue Reading
If you want to know the best things to do in Merida in Mexico, this is the post for you because the very next day, i.e. on our second day in Merida (after our first evening at La Negrita) we started the day poring over our plans to visit the city as we had breakfast. … Continue Reading
As beautiful as Mexico can be, one of the biggest concerns before visiting is about ‘general safety’. Understandably so too as there’s also no uniformity on this. Safety tends to be tied to certain specific pockets so you could find one area is quite fine but the surrounding areas aren’t. Anyway, thanks to this, when … Continue Reading
The next day at The Retreat at The Blue Lagoon, we started off with a relaxing swim, then breakfast and a determination to hike to the amazing viewpoint of the newly erupting Meradalir volcano. If you remember in this post here we had actually done this hike but ended up at a not-so-ideal viewpoint of … Continue Reading
The Retreat at Blue Lagoon is so amazing. So much so that every time we visit Iceland we always make it a point to stay at the Blue Lagoon. It’s actually something of a tradition now because it’s what we did on the first trip and as we have such fond memories of it, it’s … Continue Reading
The next day in Vik, we didn’t really have any solid plans except for an ‘Icelandic beach day’ at Reynisfjara black sand beach which felt absolutely fantastic. On this trip already we’d seen the fire and ice side of Iceland fully from visiting an erupting volcano just a few days before and then visiting the … Continue Reading
Our stay at The FossHotel Glacier Lagoon, after the day before spent exploring some of the best waterfalls in Iceland, was only for one night but this was as far East as we would be going – hotels-wise. We actually chose it initially due to its proximity to Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon as well as Stokksnes … Continue Reading
