This region of Norway is gorgeous, especially from the best viewpoint in Bergen. After our late lunch in Bryggen, we made our way to the Fløibanen station to take the funicular up to Mount Fløyen for the best view of all of Bergen! This view is particularly spectacular as the sun sets so make sure … Continue Reading
Fjord Safari Flam is one of the best things to do when visiting this region. And it really was a highlight of our trip to Flam! Norway’s fjords are famous the world over and after a trip up the mountains to see the Sognefjord from the top, we had a trip from the bottom, on the … Continue Reading
Yup, Up Helly Aa is as fierce as it looks. Hoards of angry Vikings and their burning ships surround the Shetland Islands on an annual basis; bringing mayhem to the local community that just can’t get rid of those pesky Vikings. Or, so I assume if we had lived 1,200 years ago. It’s one epic … Continue Reading

We arrived late in the evening in Milan for our trip across Italy. Thankfully, we didn’t have much planned for the first evening asides meeting the organisers of the rickshaw tour and other participants over drinks and nibbles so the evening went by in a rather relaxed fashion… (prosecco will do that to you). The … Continue Reading
Arriving at the very first stop on our Italian road trip ended up being much later than we’d anticipated. Between the stops everywhere for photos and general tomfoolery, we ended up arriving around 9.30 pm. At this point, all I could think was “I hope Italian restaurants are open till quite late” (I kinda thought … Continue Reading

First things first – what are the big 5? The big 5 are – African Elephants, Black/White Rhinoceros, Lions, Leopards and Buffalos. I’ve always been fascinated by animals and so the idea that there are just 5 key animals to focus on when you’re on safari is something that I’ve always found to be a … Continue Reading

We’ve visited Amsterdam six times over the last five years or so, with each time opening up a new, amazing experience. Long story short, Amsterdam is great. A Spontaneous booking … Continue Reading
Last time we were in New York, I wasn’t able to get round to the Statue of Liberty. After all, visiting Lady Liberty is easily one of the best things to do in New York for sure. The time before that I saw it from a distance. This time, armed with our NYC Go passes, … Continue Reading
My first impressions of Antigua was definitely all about how colourful it. The houses are the most amazing pastel hues and even the coconut trees blend beautifully with the blue skies! It’s also really warm here but I guess that’s like saying ‘sugar is sweet’. 🙂 I effectively spent my first day here relaxing (which … Continue Reading
Oistins Fish Fry has become somewhat of an institution in Barbados, especially on a Friday night. I can’t say I had heard too much about Oistins before arriving in the Caribbean but as soon as I touched that Bajan soil I somehow managed to hear about it everywhere… and for very good reason! After spending an … Continue Reading

Guinness itself is much older but the storehouse only started about 20-years ago as a chance to give visitors to the … Continue Reading
