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.

Summer just always strikes me as the best time to catch up on reading. The weather is usually fantastic and great for either heading out for a sunny holiday or just taking a walk to the park, armed with a good book to while away the time and get lost in the words… The best … Continue Reading
Now although we flew into Puno from Cusco to see Lake Titicaca, we’d been told the train journey from Puno back to Cusco was one of the prettiest, not just in the country but in the world. *Sidebar – we actually flew into Juliaca and then took a long taxi ride to Puno. It’s a … Continue Reading
Let’s play a fun little game. Or at least what I’d like to think of as a full little game. 😉 It’s not a serious post or anything of the sort, I’m just genuinely intrigued to find out which options you’ll choose! On some level, I think it may be a version of a sanity … Continue Reading
… but before we do that, let me show you around our new South African home. 🙂 After hours of searching for safari lodges (and getting distracted by photos and blog posts of people on safari), I finally decided on going for the Kapama Southern Camp (part of the larger Kapama Private Game Reserve family).
