After an amazing time exploring the islands in Phang Nga Bay (see posts here and here), it was fair to say that by the time we got back to the mainland, we were knackered! It was quite surprising because we didn’t actually feel tired until we got to the hotel and even though we planned … Continue Reading
1.) Trying to justify the ridiculously high price you paid for that cocktail. (“It was just £17, which is really good when you think about it…” No… it isn’t. 🙂 ) 2.) Throwing all the rules of decency out of the window when a free seat opens up on a crowded train 3.) Thinking that … 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
… and I’m not typically a burger person but more on that later. But before we get started, I’m gonna recommend that you honker down with a nice cuppa tea (or perhaps even a margarita) as this is a rather photo heavy post. 😉 One of my favourite parts of living in Central London is being … 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’ve got one question for you! Why had no one told me how beautiful San Sebastian is? I love a beautiful city as much as next traveller but for some reason or the other, I’d never quite made it to San Sebastian – this all changed however when we visited The Basque Country. But you … Continue Reading
The day after we had our sailing trip across Santorini, there was one thing that we all had on minds that all wanted to to – climbing that mountain in the middle of the Caldera! The very next day, we headed out to Fira and got our tickets to do just that! First things first … Continue Reading
This post started off on another tangent but very quickly evolved when I looked through the photos. Initially, it was gonna show you an aspect of San Sebastian I really enjoyed (the eating and drinking) but when I started looking through the photos, I realised there’s no way I could do that without showing you … Continue Reading
Well they are amazing is what they are! In my last post, I kinda kept getting distracted by food, well this is that food post! So back to the matter at hand – Pintxos! Pintxos are technically Hors d’oeuvres but you can pretty much turn it into a main meal. The idea is basically that … Continue Reading
Ah, macarons… These colourful (and apparently) tasty delights are a French treat famous the world over but I’ve gotta ask, are they really all they’re hyped up to be? I’ve never really understood the appeal of macarons, I’ve had them in the past and while they’re okay, they’re never like “Oh my gosh, I can’t … Continue Reading
And boy, did it rain in Palermo! Our trip to Palermo was one all four of us were looking forward to for ages. The Sicilian city, which I kept referring to as “The Old Country” thanks to The Godfather book (depending on which one you saw/read), promised to be warmer than London and so we … Continue Reading
On initially booking, I’ve gotta say, I was expecting somewhere nice. The hotel – Tulip House Hotel was ranked number 3 on Trip Advisor (of all hotels in Bratislava) so my expectation was realistically high… Gotta say though, it definitely surpassed my expectations. We got picked up at the airport in a private car (I love … Continue Reading
Just been pondering a few things I would like some thoughts on. This isn’t even a travel, food or home post so I’m not even sure where to put this thing on the blog. Pretty sure it doesn’t even belong on here but I’m not letting that stop me so please do share your thoughts on the … Continue Reading
These are some photos from our trip to Marrakesh that for some reason or the other, never quite made it to the blog. I guess you can call it an “outtake” of sorts… One thing’s certain though, looking at these photos makes me long for summer sunshine!
