On the way back home from Pisa, we decided to stop at the nearby hilltop town of San Miniato, a beautiful place recommended by our friend Gabriele (he’s from Sicily in Italy) when we went around Italy last year. Last time we visited, we spent a very short amount of time here but this time, … Continue Reading
…because sometimes all you really want to do is enjoy your visit! Sounds like a silly thing to say but travel can sometimes be a lot of hard work. There’s so much planning, mapping, sightseeing and a whole host of other activities that go into it that you end up leaving your holiday needing another … Continue Reading
As it turns out, packing for Peru is such a different kettle of fish! Given the amount of travelling we do, I kinda pride myself on being very good at packing. No shadow of a lie here, if you told me that a taxi would be arriving within 20 minutes to take me to the … Continue Reading
Nestled in between the gorgeous Mediterranean Sea and the dramatic mountains of Cévennes is Nimes, one of France’s prettiest little cities! Of course, everyone has heard of the big-hitting destinations of Paris, Lille and Bordeaux, but there’s so much more to this incredible country that doesn’t involve the most popular ports-of-call… …case in point, with … Continue Reading
England is an incredibly beautiful country filled with so many places to see. Although we’ve got some pretty incredible cities like London, Bath, and Norwich, there are many more amazing and best places in southern England to visit that aren’t just focused on city life. From the little hamlets in the Cotswolds to the stunning Cornish … Continue Reading

The night before we left for Cologne, our flights over were cancelled at the last minute. Funny thing is, before that, I’d never even considered any other way of getting to Germany, let alone Cologne. This all changed of course and before long, we rebooked to take the train to Cologne from London with a … Continue Reading
Cologne Cathedral is as amazing as they said it would be! I’d seen it briefly when we arrived by train the night before but didn’t have much time to explore it (nor would I have wanted to with our luggage in tow) so I was justifiably excited to finally get to see it properly (especially … Continue Reading
The sun came out to play the next day in Cologne! It’s funny how a little thing like blue skies can change the look of a city so much. After a quick walk through the city to burn off the breakfast calories, we found ourselves back at Cologne Cathedral, totally determined to climb it! By … Continue Reading
Making our way over from KölnTriangle to the city centre, we decided to pop into the fairgrounds for some more toffee apples (anyone who’s ever eaten a soggy supermarket toffee apple) will understand why we (but especially Lloyd) is obsessed with the stuff. We got a couple to go and walked over the bridge in … Continue Reading
Leaving the party at Museum Ludwig, we decided to go with the easy option and head next door to the Roman-Germanic Museum. The vibe here is a lot more laid back, even down to the musical act which made for a great cool-down spot with a brew while popping between ancient Roman artefacts. As Lloyd … Continue Reading

Our return to Sri Lanka was something of a last-minute plan. As you might remember, we’d been to Sri Lanka earlier in the year and although our itinerary back then was quite full and we managed to pack in quite a lot for one week, there was still so much of Sri Lanka that I’d … Continue Reading
