I get the sense that people in Miami make an effort to look good – whether that’s on a more personal level or just to do with their possessions, people appear to take a lot of pride in themselves and things they own and Miami appears to be the perfect place to show it all … Continue Reading
As part of a trip to Morocco, it makes perfect sense (nay, it’s very important) to explore other areas outside of Marrakech. Marrakech is an amazing and exciting place filled with enticing smells, intriguing sights, delightful sounds and tinged with the slightest hint of danger… Alas I’m afraid that last one might have been slightly made up in … Continue Reading
Castelo de São Jorge is probably one of the very first places you can see in the distance as soon as you arrive in Lisbon. Seeing this castle does leave you with a mix of emotions though as you want to go and explore this castle straight away. However, it also appears (and indeed it … Continue Reading
Okay, being Australian is not the only prerequisite for helping out here. In fact, there’s only one pre-requisite and that’s if you watch the TV show ‘Home and Away’. Effectively, we were walking down Palm Beach, a suburb of Sydney, Australia when we happened upon this TV crew and cast. Being the nosey parker I … Continue Reading
Yup! You heard right! 🙂 The south of France is synonymous with beautiful beaches, great weather and I guess a truly decadent lifestyle yet it is also full of so much amazing history and sights. In the interest of full disclosure, I hadn’t heard much about Nimes until I was looking on SkyScanner.net for a … Continue Reading
Yes, Manly is the name of a real place and the inspiration behind it is because of Capt. Arthur Phillip. Yes, I don’t really know who he is either. though apparently (we were told) the locals looked quite manly and so he thought the name apt. To get to Manly from the city centre of … Continue Reading
Ngong Ping Village is one place you definitely have to visit when exploring the best things to do in Hong Kong. It’s such a different scene from the mainland’s bright lights, fast cars and concrete, glass & steel towers. To get to the village, you can either take a cable car (the Ngong Ping 360) … Continue Reading
Excited wrapping Christmas presents and prepping for New Year’s Eve parties. I found these photos from New Year’s Eve fireworks in London and thought I’d best take a quick break from wrapping presents and drinking more mulled wine than is advisable to share these photos with you! Unsurprisingly, on this particularly cold evening, the fireworks … Continue Reading
This is what happens when you put three people with no plans or agenda for the day. We weren’t even in Rhode Island and didn’t know anyone there. We woke up on a sunny day in Boston and decided on a whim to take a train anywhere. Maine and New Hampshire were bandied around before … Continue Reading
Well, if you haven’t, you’re in for a treat! And no, this isn’t some backhanded compliment to myself or the photos I’ve taken – I can very freely say that you’re in for a treat because of the sheer beauty and charm of St Andrews. St Andrews is genuinely one of the nicest towns I’ve … Continue Reading
We’re heading to Italy again and are looking forward to an actual warm holiday! As it turns out, we’ve been on quite a few icy trips so far this year (at least 4 of the countries we’ve visited so far had snow on the ground) so it’s a welcome change to try out a sunny … Continue Reading
![The Sights Of Florence, Italy... A Photo Diary [Part2] (18)](https://i0.wp.com/handluggageonly.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/IMG_2947-s1.jpg?fit=1600%2C1066&ssl=1)
All the photos from my recent trip to Florence… I will try to keep this within the remits of a photo diary and so I won’t rehash the sights, sounds and tastes of Florence (already did that in this post)! There are quite a few photos here so I’ve split it into two posts otherwise it would take forever … Continue Reading
It’s been a while since I’ve had one of these kinda days in London… London is glorious in summer time! There’s just so much more stuff to do and with the sun shining brightly, very little excuse not to to do said stuff! Even on slightly overcast days like today, the sun managed to peek … Continue Reading
My weekend away was so much fun. One thing is for sure, I was blessed with beautiful sunshine all-day, all-weekend! If you’re from the UK, you will know how rare this much sunshine can be. 🙂 It’s as if Booking.com made their app foolproof just for me! Somehow I always seem to take a wrong … Continue Reading
