You can see them all for free and can cover most of them on a weekend trip to Bratislava! Our trip to Bratislava was one I went on with an open mind and a sense of adventure! I’d never been before, I didn’t do much planning, didn’t know what to expect and I was looking … Continue Reading

Starting off at the temple in Anuradhapura was an ideal place to start our tour and learn a bit more of why this city is significant to Sri Lanka’s history (it is the first capital after all and a UNESCO World Heritage site) but there’s so much to see in Anuradhapura that you kinda need to … Continue Reading

After our morning snorkelling around the house reef, the rest of the afternoon was devoted to soaking in as much sunshine as possible and splashing around in the pool! The Angsana Velavaru ocean villa pools are a lot bigger than I’d anticipated and, drinks in hand, are a perfect way to make the most of … Continue Reading

Now when you’re in Geiranger, even if you’re not much of hiker (like myself), one thing you have to do is take a trek to a waterfall called Storseterfossen. Why do you have to go to Storseterfossen? Well, its pretty simple really – Storseterfossen is an amazingly powerful waterfall, high up in the mountains that … Continue Reading

Compared to our neighbours on the continent (France and Italy, I’m looking at you in particular), British food sometimes gets a bad rap and doesn’t always get the praise it deserves. French food is renowned for being so sophisticated yet utterly-delicious and Italian food is regarded as real comfort, indulgent food all across the world. … Continue Reading

That entrance though! Kinda scary and eerie in one fell swoop! Ha!  Luna Park in Sydney is so retro (it actually opened for the first time in 1935) as are some of the attractions in it but is part of its draw. It’s a fantastic throwback venue and such a fun atmosphere to be in. … Continue Reading

On our penultimate day in Bali, we finally decided to see what was actually some of the most obvious spots to visit in Bali but ones we’d never gotten round to seeing (like not the last time we’d visit and not even on this current trip). We started off with one ‘closer to home’ – … Continue Reading

These were taken earlier on when it was still blisteringly cold in Brussels. Brussels is one of my favourite places to visit and I would be lying if I said Belgian Waffles had nothing to do with it! Indeed, every time I’ve been to Brussels, the very first thing I do is eat like 1,000 … Continue Reading

This is important stuff so pay attention people. 🙂 It’s safe to say that I’m obviously not the first person to have been on a hammock and being on holiday in Spain – especially after a rather nice lunch and quite a lot of Sangria, I figured I’d retire to the comfort of the hammock under … Continue Reading

I’d been meaning on putting this post up for ages! 🙂 Essentially, we’d been exploring Gipuzkoa (in the Basque Country) for a couple of days and after this humongous lunch, we ventured across the river from Pasai Donibane (the town we were in) to the neighbouring town. It has been raining just before but in true Basque … Continue Reading

If ever there was a country to travel to for beautiful beaches, Thailand is it! There’s a whole heap of the best beaches in Thailand that are dotted all across the country.  Honestly, the landscapes here are absolutely stunning and it’s been one of the countries that surprised me the most to visit. It’s totally … Continue Reading

Swiftly following on from my photo diary on Tokyo, here’s what we got up to on our first day in Tokyo. Now that I think about it, considering how we’d spent half of the day travelling and settling into the city, we only had half of the day left to explore the city and we certainly … Continue Reading

The night after we saw the Northern Lights at Hotel Laki (which is an amazing place to stay and ideal to see the Northern Lights), we woke up bright and early for breakfast after which we promptly fell asleep again till lunchtime. In our defence, we’d been up till 6 am watching the Northern Lights … Continue Reading

If you’re planning on visiting the UK (or if you already live in the UK) then you should definitely try to see at least one. Each one of these buildings is impressive in its own rights and forms such a strong part of the UK’s history that you would be hard-pressed not to love. You … Continue Reading
