After visiting Nuuk and sailing north up the coast of eastern Greenland, we finally reached Qeqertarsuaq in Disko Bay. It’s one of the iconic areas to visit in Greenland, and for good reason. For many years, Disko Bay has been the de rigour spot for most visits to Greenland, and it doesn’t disappoint. The whole bay … Continue Reading
After such an incredible day exploring Disko Island and Eqip Sermia, we woke up to views of the magnificent Ilulissat Icefjord in Greenland. It’s not too far (in terms of nautical miles), maybe around 150 miles from Eqip Sermia. This meant we had much more time to explore Ilulissat after anchoring up. Now, the Ilulissat … Continue Reading
After an amazing day exploring the Ilulissat Icefjord yesterday and a good night’s sleep, we arrived in Itilleq. Itilleq is a very small community within the Qeqqata region of Greenland. It’s on its own little island, just shy of mainland Greenland and near the Arctic Circle border. Itilleq is small, just in case you wondered. … Continue Reading
One of the least habituated countries in the world, Greenland might not come to mind when thinking of places to visit. However, that would be a mistake; there are so many epic and best places in Greenland to visit that are dotted nationwide. One of the things that makes Greeland so special is its natural … Continue Reading
Travelling by train from the UK to France and Switzerland is much easier than you think. Not only that, it’s actually a really great way to travel, especially if you want the freedom to travel around multiple places on your trip, all whilst enjoying the views from the trains. So, to help you get the … Continue Reading
Antarctica is, without a doubt, one of the world’s most incredible places to visit. It’s absolutely beautiful and one place that feels so untouched and utterly beautiful to see. That being said, the whole Antarctic continent is colossal and, largely inhospitable (especially in the winter months). This makes it a very challenging environment to visit … Continue Reading
After our first proper day exploring the ancient lost Kingdom of Petra in Jordan (also see our second post here from when we visited the ancient Monastery in Petra), we decided to spend the next day exploring even more of Jordan by venturing up north towards the Dead Sea. Except, instead of just heading straight … Continue Reading
After our day travelling down to the Dead Sea in Jordan and visiting some of it’s most incredible historical sights along the way, we made it back to Petra just as the sun set. This was perfect timing as on this evening, we had already booked tickets to go to the ancient lost city of … Continue Reading
Leaving Little Petra, we made our way over to Petra via a stop-off for lunch, as when we arrived back in Petra we would be looking for a viewpoint that we’d seen so many times in photos and videos (before arriving in Petra). As obvious as the viewpoint seemed, we had no idea how to … Continue Reading
After leaving the amazing ancient lost Kingdom of Petra, our next stop in Jordan would be in Wadi Rum, the desert so famous you’ve already seen it even if you hadn’t realised it at the time. So many movies have been filmed here, like Dune, The Martian, Aladdin, Prometheus and quite a few Star Wars … Continue Reading
On our second day in Wadi Rum, after our little taster with the sunset rides and star gazing the night before, we finally got to head out and explore the breadth and depth of Wadi Rum properly. To say we were excited would be something of an understatement. We got up bright and early, wolfed … Continue Reading
So after our full day exploring Wadi Rum (you can see all of that in this blog post here), we decided to finish things off with some tea and music with the locals as we watched the sun set. We did scramble up higher for a view over the desert to make the most of … Continue Reading
