As we mentioned briefly in this post here, we’re in Italy! Italy is such a favourite of mine and a big dream I’ve harboured for the longest time was to stay in a Tuscan farmhouse in the middle of the countryside and soak in some of that Italian ‘La Dolce Vita‘ (The Sweet Life). The original … Continue Reading
In the village of Gasadalur lies a waterfall you’ve no doubt come across on the internet at some point or the other. Even if you don’t realise you have… As soon as we hopped off the boat at Vestmanna, we decided to make the most of the free time before the next thing on our … Continue Reading
To be fair, our trip to Slovenia was laden with agenda and that was to discover the country’s wine! Europe as a whole produces a lot of really great wine (even in the UK though beers, ales and spirits are more our thing) and a lot of popular countries like Italy, Spain and France get … Continue Reading
And this isn’t some sensationalist title I’m making up, either. The red village of Collonges La Rouge has already been awarded the title of one of the most beautiful villages in France. It is regarded by many as ‘the prettiest’ and is looking to officially cement that with recognition from the French authorities. The title … 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 you might remember, we were rather late leaving the cliff side lake of Sørvágsvatn and pretty much had to hot-foot it across the islands to Vestmanna where we had an island tour via boat. We made it barely on time (like with 3 minutes to go) although, the guy on the phone we’d spoken to, … Continue Reading
Finding out how to get to and climb Sigiriya in Sri Lanka can be a feat in itself, and this is why I wanted to share some practical tips to help you along your way. First off, it’s one of the things you have to see when you visit Sri Lanka, both for the history … Continue Reading
By this point you already know how much and why we wanted to visit the Faroe Island so I’m just gonna skip that part and take you right through to our arrival in the islands. By the way, if you’re a fan of Iceland, you’ll no doubt be a huge fan of the Faroe Islands. … Continue Reading
Malaga is easily one of the most underrated cities in Spain. It’s often seen as a gateway to other more popular places in Southern Spain and despite having one of Spain’s most popular cities, it’s pretty much used as a transit city. As it turns out, there’s quite a lot going on in Malaga. For … Continue Reading
Swiftly following on from the 30 things you need to know before visiting Italy and a little inspired by this table cloth (via our snapchat @HandLuggageOnly – see tweet below), I figured it made sense to accompany that little guide with a food section. A food guide to Italy! (Probably a tacky souvenir to have but actually … Continue Reading
Following, our (rather lazy) first evening in Madrid, we decided that we would do our very best to make up for it the next day by cramming in as many of the best things to do in Madrid as we possibly could. Thankfully, as it turns out, Madrid is quite a walkable city which is … 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
Arriving in the Dordogne Valley, I had no idea what to expect. We’d flown in from London after almost two months of travelling, and this time, I’d left most of the planning to Lloyd. I was knackered upon arrival in Brive and slept all the way from the airport until we reached our very first … Continue Reading
This one’s been a long time coming! 🙂 A bit of background… When we first started travelling (many years before we even started blogging on here), travel for me was all about explore new destinations in different countries and as lovely as it was (and still is) to do so, one thing that can be said for travel … Continue Reading
