Fuerteventura was one of those islands that had always been on my radar but had somehow never visited. Actually, come to think of it, there are so many things that I always wanted to do and place I’d love to visit (even at home in glorious London Town) but somehow never manage to experience. Case in … Continue Reading
First things first, get yourself down to Antigua! HOW TO GET THERE Once you’re in Antigua, head on down to Stingray city. It’s fairly popular, in fact, I think it’s the first thing I saw at immigration. You’ll need a taxi to get here unless you happen to be based in Seaton Village. Or if … Continue Reading
Oistins Fish Fry has become somewhat of an institution in Barbados, especially on a Friday night. I can’t say I had heard too much about Oistins before arriving in the Caribbean but as soon as I touched that Bajan soil I somehow managed to hear about it everywhere… and for very good reason! After spending an … Continue Reading
You didn’t think we’d head off into the New Year without a round up of 2015 now, did you? 😉 This year on Hand Luggage Only has been quite special in so many ways – we’ve gotten to travel to so many amazing destinations, made so many new friends, eaten so many delicious meals, had so … Continue Reading
It’s safe to say that upon our return from “the secret beach” I was well and truly rested! I remember trying to throw in a quick instagram update and falling asleep. I don’t even think I’d composed two words in the caption before dozing off. Thankfully though I managed to get up on time for dinner! Random … Continue Reading
Colour tends to speak for itself. There’s never a real need to explain the appeal of a colourful travel destination. Photos of the colourful city/town/village in question is enough to beguile travellers the world over! I’ve always been a fan of colours. At home, on my travels… even in my food and looking back at my … Continue Reading
One of the very first things I was told as soon as I arrived in Antigua was to visit Shirley Heights. I didn’t know much about it but Lloyd who had been before assured me that that there were two main reasons I had to visit Shirley Heights. 1.) It has one of the best views … Continue Reading
There are not many Abbeys where you can fill up on delicious rum, get wolf-whistled in the forest gullies and learn how to play croquet so a trip to St. Nicholas Abbey Barbados definitely makes for a mandatory addition to your Bajan itinerary. The home of rum, Barbados has a range of distilleries that still … Continue Reading
As I write this post, I am frantically packing my suitcase and stuffing in winter coats, beach shorts, warm woolly jumpers, flip-flops…etc amongst other things. It feels so strange to be packing such contrasting travel gear (winter coats and beach short???) but there’s a good reason behind this. We’re getting ready to visit a few … Continue Reading
I’ve done so many blog posts on this but I’ve finally gotten round to editing the video from our trip! 🙂 When we were in Italy I ended up going way overboard with the videos and photos I was taking and it was only when I got home and had to sift through hours of … 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
Valencia has been on our travel-radar for many, many years. After snoozing as soundly as sleeping beauty but snoring as loudly as a ‘Shrek’ style Ogre ;-), Yaya and I headed straight out for our first adventure of the day. Sailing a yacht around the Mediterranean coast. You can only imagine how excited this made … Continue Reading
We were intentionally left in the dark about a lot of the stuff we did in Valencia (it was definitely an amazing surprise itinerary) and so, we had no idea until we returned from watching the tango, to take us on a hot air balloon ride the very next morning! I can’t even begin to describe to … Continue Reading
