It’s been a while since we’ve been to Oslo! So much so that I kinda wondered if the city had changed much since we visited (I certainly know London had since that time) and if I would even remember my way around the city (I felt like I kinda mastered it last time). For Georgia … Continue Reading
Our second day in Yorkshire begun the way every good morning in England should – with a full English breakfast complete with all the works. Fed and ready to explore even more of this beautiful part of England, we hot-footed it from our lodge at the Ravenshall Hotel over to nearby Robin Hood Bay. Now, … Continue Reading
After our first trip to Vienna, I knew it was only a matter of time before we would return to the city. This was partly due to the fact that there was still so much leftover to see and do in the city (especially after these recommendations) but this was mostly because we’d been asked … Continue Reading
This is something of a different post! Well, actually, it’s not that different, it just starts with a freebie we all can use at the best places to shop in London. 🙂 I’ve always been a fan of making money stretch as far as it can – doesn’t matter if it’s £10 or £1,000. After all, no … Continue Reading
We recently partnered with P&O Ferries on a day trip to France (which turned out to be the perfect excuse to go Christmas shopping – not just for gifts but for really cheap champagne and cheeses). It was easily one of the most convenient trips we’ve taken to France. We arrived at the Ferry terminal … Continue Reading
For as long as I can remember, I’d always wanted to properly visit Yorkshire. In fact, now that I think about it, I actually almost ended up studying in York (twice!). I’ve been in Yorkshire very briefly but never actually gotten round to exploring it – not even the beautiful city of York which I … Continue Reading
For quite some time now, I’ve been intrigued by the idea of going on a day trip to France. Predominantly because everyone I knew who’d been raved about how cheap the wines once you crossed over on the ferry but partly because I kinda wanted those bragging right “Oh, I just popped over to France … Continue Reading
I have no idea how to make this post short so I’m not even gonna try! Once you see the photos from that flight to (and from) Whistler, you’ll understand why it was a struggle to stop taking photos – that place is gorgeous. Suffice to say, your obligatory tea and biscuits (oh, what 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
For the first time since we arrived in Vancouver (on this trip, anyway), we decided to tear ourselves away from the wonderful breakfast at the Shangri La and head into town for breakfast. There was a place in town everyone kept raving about and my gluttony was far too intrigued to not pop in and … Continue Reading
After that ‘refreshing’ dip in the Arctic Sea, we meandered slowly through the city centre of Tromso before heading to our new hotel, smack in the centre of the action (I use that term lightly – it was a long public holiday so the city wasn’t nearly as busy as it typically would be). Our … Continue Reading
I’m literally writing this from my hotel room in St Kitts (not sure how pertinent that is but just felt like something I needed to say). My intrigue with St Kitts actually started on a different Caribbean island, where over a lunch-time conversation with stranger-turned-new friends, I found out that St Kitts is actually, officially … Continue Reading
On one random evening, many moons ago, we decided to we HAD to go to Hawai‘i (fine, “had to” might be a bit strong 😄) and within minutes, we’d booked flights to head out to Hawai’i! (Sidebar: A great deal had popped into my email a few hours prior so the resolve to go to … Continue Reading
Cologne is so synonymous with amazing Christmas markets (which makes winter a great time to visit) but there’s so much more to this city than it’s festive markets. We were due to fly in but thanks to last minute changes with the flights, we ended up taking the train instead. I actually recommend taking the … Continue Reading
