I’ll just start by answering that question with a huge spoiler alert – a roadtrip from the UK to Austria is soooooooo much fun! It isn’t necessarily the most obvious road trip route we would have thought of (in large part because we in the UK live on an island physically disconnect from mainland Europe) … Continue Reading
Oh, I’ve wanted to tell you about this bit for ages! Like, as soon as it happened, all I wanted to do was share it but somehow I’ve not managed to get the time to do this until now. (*It probably doesn’t help that I ended up taking like 1 million photos from this afternoon … Continue Reading
Geneva’s old town is absolutely gorgeous and is perhaps more what people would expect from the city compared to say – paragliding into the city from France or chilling by a beach club. The best way to explore this is really, as I mentioned before, to just ‘get lost’ here. Wander through the city slowly, … Continue Reading
After an adrenaline-fueled afternoon paragliding from France to Switzerland, we figured the rest of our day might as well be spent chilling in Geneva and with that, we headed down to the lake for what is easily one of the most fun, chilled things to in Geneva. See, down by the lake, there’s something of … Continue Reading
We arrived in Geneva on a delightfully sunny day – the kind that makes you wanna hurriedly chuck your luggage into your hotel room and head out exploring straight away! And so that’s what we did! The hotel was thankfully within walking distance of the city centre so we head out on foot, strolling leisurely … Continue Reading
After that amazing lunch, well-fed and tummies bulging to show for it, we traipsed through town toward York Minster – the utterly beautiful cathedral which we had made a mission to climb this very afternoon! In retrospect, it would probably have made sense to climb it the day before as the sun was shining but … Continue Reading
On our final morning in York, I got up bright and early – super eager to check out a couple of places I knew I just couldn’t leave the city without visiting! But not before a long and leisurely (not to mention, delicious) breakfast at Gray’s Court! The first spot I wanted to visit was … Continue Reading
The next day in York was perhaps the fastest I’ve ever gotten ready (or at least pretty close). For starters, the breakfast at the Gray’s Court hotel is something worth arriving early and leaving enough time to enjoy (didn’t take any photos today but promise to take my camera with me tomorrow so I can … Continue Reading
Several months ago, after wanting to for years, we finally got to visit Yorkshire in the North of England and boy, was it worth the wait! It was just everything I’d hoped it would be and more. My only ‘regret’ (I use that word very VERY loosely – Yorkshire was just so amazing) was that … Continue Reading
Back in colourful St Johns (after all our afternoon of wildlife in Newfoundland and Labrador), we dropped off the car at the hotel and proceed to traipse through St John’s on foot. That’s the beauty of cities like St John’s, it’s a proper city but it’s so walkable that it feels a lot more intimate … Continue Reading
Puffins are perhaps my favourite wild birds to see. Actually, my favourite birds as a whole are actually chickens – I’ve had them as pets since I was little and so have a very soft spot for them but in the wild, puffins are my absolute fave. They’re clumsy colourful little clowns of the ocean … Continue Reading
We arrived into Newfoundland and Labrador in the middle of the night and suffice to say, did pretty much nothing that night except have dinner and go to sleep. Though, this would mean we’d be raring to go for our 24 Hours visiting St. John’s. I’d wanted to visit Newfoundland and Labrador, more specifically – … Continue Reading
One of the best ways to truly explore almost anywhere in Canada is to get out in nature and so, after a rather hurried breakfast in Moncton (we were limited on timing due to changes in the tide. I will explain more about that later below), we headed over to Hopewell Rocks – one of … Continue Reading
Leaving the pretty little town of Lunenburg, we made our way over to Wolfville, which is where we would pitch our tent for the night (figuratively speaking, of course) at The Blomidon Inn. The Blomidon Inn is another one of Nova Scotia’s historic hotels and is just the perfect picturesque hotel to finish up a … Continue Reading
