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
Hey!!! We’ve just arrived in the airport in Reykjavik and I just had to write this post rather quickly. (The next challenge will be to actually find WiFi so I can post this!) This is a rather quick update to let you know we’ve just arrived in Iceland and as you can imagine -it’s… er… … Continue Reading
The night after we saw the Northern Lights at Hotel Laki (which is an amazing place to stay and ideal to see the Northern Lights), we woke up bright and early for breakfast after which we promptly fell asleep again till lunchtime. In our defence, we’d been up till 6 am watching the Northern Lights … Continue Reading
Hey!!! So we’ve arrived in Luxembourg! (Can I hear a “Whoop! Whoop!!!“?) As you may have seen on our Instagram, Facebook or Twitter, we are already out and about exploring Luxembourg City, in the country of… you guessed it – Luxembourg! 🙂 Luxembourg lies between Belgium, France and Germany and, a little interesting fact I found out today, it … Continue Reading
Okay it wasn’t right across all of Croatia but it was for over 40km (about 25 miles) and seeing as this was out first time doing on quad bikes, I think it’s safe to say it was quite a big deal for both of us. To be fair though, this was one of the things … Continue Reading
Our trip to the Isles of Scilly was one that has been long-awaited! Earlier this year, I said to Lloyd how much I wanted to see more of the UK and Ireland. Case in point – living in Edinburgh a while back, I had taken it for granted and it was only after a long stint … Continue Reading
Right after leaving Milan, we hit the open roads of Italy and started off our first proper drive in the rickshaw. I think it’s safe to say that this is the most terrified I was on the entire trip. Everything was so new and everyone on the roads was moving much faster than we were … Continue Reading
As you already know from our previous post we’re in Fuerteventura in the Canary Islands and it’s so much more beautiful than we imagined. I was whatsapping friends back in the UK and trying to describe Fuerteventura but this Canary island has such an eclectic mix of landscapes that I could only describe it as a … 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
Hello from Sri Lanka! SO as you already know after our time in the Maldives, we headed straight for Sri Lanka (which is only 1.5 hours away) and this time we’ve gotten to experience a totally different way of travelling with Evaneos Travel. The thing about Sri Lanka is that although there are 4 of … Continue Reading
…and the main reason we were in Ireland after all. After a few whiskeys, we merrily made our way through Dublin’s streets back to where we’d been earlier in the day… except it looked very different from a few hours ago. The Guinness storehouse was celebrating its 15th birthday – excitement was in the air and … Continue Reading
This is the last part of a 5 part series chronicling Stephen’s of Uncharted Backpacker journey through Afghanistan – if you missed it, see all the other parts here. FROM STEPHEN The Final Stop: the Medieval City of Herat From Kabul I wanted to head to Herat through Bamiyan. Unfortunately due to fighting there were only two routes. … Continue Reading
After finishing off with the first part of Polonnaruwa (only ‘first’ because that’s where we visited first), we drove a few minutes to another big part of this ancient Sri Lankan city – starting with Satmahal Prasada, a 6 layer pyramid-esque structure (used to be 7 layers) with figurines on the walls, which are still visible… … Continue Reading
After lunch in Chateau de Lissac, our next stop was a chocolatier – where I finally found our how they made those hollow chocolates (you know like the Easter egg ones or the chocolate bunnies) before heading to our home for the night in a little town called Terrasson. Best part of the evening? Plans … Continue Reading
