Swiftly following the morning’s sailing/kayaking and lunch-time gluttony (if you missed that – check out part 1 of this post – which has been split to two parts due to having lots of photos), my friends and I (who must have put on quite a few pounds from lunch alone) headed off to the next … Continue Reading
Following on from our (not so) Olympic standard pool diving, our fatigue eventually caught up with us and we all ended up having naps in the sun…until the sun went down and the first of us started to stir. We quickly popped some clothes on and headed out for dinner and drinks. For some reason, … Continue Reading
When in San Antonio, I highly recommend going to watch the sunset over this beautifully laid-back Texas city… and the best place to see the sunset is the Tower of the Americas. The Tower is open from 10 am to 10 pm and costs $10.95 (with a $2 discount for children and seniors. Children under … Continue Reading
I’m not a huge fan of botanical gardens. It’s not that they’re not nice/pretty/colourful/fragrant enough or anything of the sort. I just don’t know that much about flowers. Sure, I know how to identify the usual suspects – roses, orchids, lilies and the like but beyond that, I’m absolutely clueless. Like if you asked me … Continue Reading
This is one we’d been looking forward to long before catching the flight from London to Miami. The day started off with a rather nice jaunt around the Florida Keys swiftly followed by what was the longest drive we had on our road trip – an almost 9 hours drive all the way to Orlando. … Continue Reading
I’ve never really been a fan of expensive headphones. The sound system, iPhone, MP3 player or whatever else the headphones were attached to – those items I could understand spending a lot of money on but not really headphones. In the past, I used to buy those cheap headphones you’d typically find in Tesco’s or … Continue Reading
Back in the day, whenever I found someone who said “I just love French films” or any phrase similar to that, I used to find my self involuntarily rolling my eyes – mostly becauseI knew (or at least I thought I knew) these people that only ever said that because somehow, the idea of being into French films made them … Continue Reading
And yes, the UK does count as part of Europe even though it appears most people never really seem to think of the UK as Europe. It always seems like it has a separate identity because it’s an island but I digress. Living in Europe definitely has it’s advantages as a lot of Europeans … Continue Reading
France is as diverse as any country can be, with its Mediterranean coast to the south, its mountainous eastern regions across the Alps to the south-western French Basque Country, France has it all. I wanted to showcase some of my favourite destinations that should be included on every trip to France this year. I have … Continue Reading
These Fjords are UNESCO World Heritage sites for a reason! I have so much yet to tell you about our trip to Norway but I’ve been wanting to show you photos from when we saw the Fjords for so long now that I just couldn’t hold out any longer! The train ride to Flam is … Continue Reading
Sometimes, there’s nothing I like more than a food post, especially when it details the very best burgers in Berlin! Today’s we’ve brought back an old favourite – local recommendations. Simon Algren from Berlin knows a thing or two about epic burgers and has put together, 10 yummy burger joints you have to visit in Berlin. … Continue Reading
The next morning, we got up bright and early (and thankfully hungover free) headed out to breakfast, swiftly followed by a whistle-stop tour of Helsinki after which we hopped into a taxi and headed to our next surprise destination… Rovio! The home of the Angry Birds. The buildings slowly started to change as we drove out … Continue Reading
After lunch on our second day in Croatia, we wandered off from the restaurant to another part of the building where I discovered where they kept their homemade wine… And as though that wasn’t enough, I found out where the prosciutto was cured too! To be fair, I was led there by my sense of … Continue Reading
I slept very well on Saturday night in lovely Bristol. Between the amazing meal from the night before and the brilliant hotel, I pretty much conked out as soon as I hit the hotel room. There’s just something fantastic about getting a good night’s sleep that’s irreplaceable. Sunday morning had arrived and that meant returning … Continue Reading
