Leaving the Dead Sea, our next stop in Israel was heading for another somewhat extreme environment – the Negev Desert. The scenery as you leave the Dead Sea is pretty amazing, by the way… More specifically actually our next stop within the Negev desert was Makhtesh Ramon – the largest erosion crater in the world. … Continue Reading
The next morning, after a day exploring and subsequently falling in love with Quebec (as well as developing a bit of a crush for autumn with its beautiful fall foliage), we packed up and headed out to explore even more of the province of Quebec, beyond its beautiful capital city. Our main destination for the … Continue Reading
Okay so because we arrived in Bangkok at night, I never got round to showing you our hotel so I’ll just start off with that now. 😁 We stayed at the LiT BANGKOK Hotel for the first couple of night in the city and it was brilliant! I thought I took photos by the pool … Continue Reading
As beautiful as Mexico can be, one of the biggest concerns before visiting is about ‘general safety’. Understandably so too as there’s also no uniformity on this. Safety tends to be tied to certain specific pockets so you could find one area is quite fine but the surrounding areas aren’t. Anyway, thanks to this, when … 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
Croeso (Welsh for welcome) to my post all about Wales. Particularly West Wales, but I will try and name a few important places to visit while in Wales. I have had many experiences of visiting multiple places in Wales. Actually, I must admit I have previously lived in Wales, but I still go back now … Continue Reading
Antelope Canyon is apparently one of the most visited canyons and it makes obvious sense that a trip across the south of the USA would be incomplete without a visit to Antelope Canyon. To be fair, we barely made it there as we’d already packed so much into our day and thought we might have … Continue Reading
Disclaimer: This trip to Calico was another impromptu stop on the trip (albeit a rather nice one)! On the drive to Hollywood after 3 days in Las Vegas (which was so much fun but more of that in another post soon), my friends and I figure we might as well break up the journey with a stop … Continue Reading
Got a few hours to kill in Houston, Texas? Head over to David Adickes Sculpturworx Studio where you can see (and get up close and personal) with the world’s largest Beatles statues. But that’s not all! You can also see some of the largest sculptures of American president’s heads too. It’s a fun little pit stop … Continue Reading
Come take a journey with me to find out where the last dragon lay… This day was one of those days that was filled with unexpected delights! I’d long driven past this little village and never been to explore it and today, on the search for something but not looking for anything really, we all … Continue Reading
Hello!!! 🙂 It’s been a rather hectic past few days and I write this after a few glasses of Greek wine, Ouzo, cheeses and cured meats I can’t remember the names of but promise to give you full details on as soon as I find the paper the names are written down on. In any … Continue Reading
Following an amazing night’s sleep at Hotel Torre Zumeltzegi (the Count’s home now converted to a hotel), I woke up to this rather mystical looking sight below, which by the way, works better than any cup of caffeine when it comes to making you awake and ready to face the day but first things first – pigging … Continue Reading
See if you can spot Lloyd in one of these… (Photos taken in Samos, Greece)
It’s a New Year and I’ve decided that I would like to share (even more) personal stuff on the blog and what could be more personal than sharing my bad habits with you. It’s just “baby steps” (I know) but let’s jump right into it shall we? Here are 5 of my bad habits: 1.) … Continue Reading
