Now where was I? Oh yes, just as the sun was setting, we were off to find our new home in the Maldives – The Angsana Ihuru. Little did we know what they had in store for us… Our excitement meant that we could barely sit down in the boat as we edge close and closer … Continue Reading
Starting off at the temple in Anuradhapura was an ideal place to start our tour and learn a bit more of why this city is significant to Sri Lanka’s history (it is the first capital after all and a UNESCO World Heritage site) but there’s so much to see in Anuradhapura that you kinda need to … Continue Reading
Our drive from Tsitsikamma to Port Elizabeth was exactly as anticipated – nothing but stunning country vistas pretty much the entire way! Seeing as we arrived at night– this was all the stuff we missed out on the drive over and we were definitely pleased to at least get to see it properly during the … Continue Reading
Finding out how to get to and climb Sigiriya in Sri Lanka can be a feat in itself, and this is why I wanted to share some practical tips to help you along your way. First off, it’s one of the things you have to see when you visit Sri Lanka, both for the history … Continue Reading
The UNESCO World site of Sigiriya (Lion Rock) in Sri Lanka has quite the view and is justifiably one of the most visited sites in Sri Lanka but there’s a view to rival this just across the road from here and I’d like to show you why! First things first though, after that hike up … Continue Reading
Funny thing is, you never really think of beaches when you think of the UK. We’ve got the bright lights of London, the historic lure of Edinburgh and even the rustic charm of the Cotswolds that draw people near and far. That being said, the UK is about so much more than these ‘obvious choices’. … Continue Reading
Now, the thing about the Cotwolds is that, this absolutely beautiful area in England comprises of so many absolutely beautiful little villages and towns so it’s pretty much “user’s choice” when it comes to deciding where to visit. One place I knew I had to visit in the Cotswolds (especially after this post on the … Continue Reading
The last time we were in Italy on a road trip (in a rickshaw), one place we really wanted to visit was San Gimignano. We had lots of people recommend it on Instagram and Facebook yet for some reason or the other, we never quite made it to San Gimignano. Well, this time, we had … Continue Reading
Our last evening on our trip to the Dordogne Valley in France was spent in a beautiful chateau with its adjoining vineyard – Chateau de Panisseau. We’d arrived shortly after leaving the charming village of Issigeac and wasted no time in checking out the new digs. This place is sheer French perfection – right down … Continue Reading
*Heads up – this is a very photo heavy post so you might wanna hunker down with a nice cuppa tea, leave it a couple of minutes to load (no longer!) and serve yourself some cake (no euphemism 🙂 ) before you proceed! 😉 😀 When it comes to food, it’s always a good idea to … Continue Reading
Fresh off the high of that amazing Maldivian sunset (champagne-fuelled) cruise at the amazing Kandolhu island, we headed off for cocktails by moonlight (which somehow seems even more special than cocktails by bar-light 😉 ), before heading out to dinner. I say ‘heading out’, we must have walked all of 10 steps to the Sea … Continue Reading
The fact that we were going on a trip wasn’t a surprise at all. We’d had it booked and locked in with srprs.me. The real surprise was where we would be going on the trip. Now after a series of wintry trips, I was in the mood for some sunshine. I also wanted somewhere with … Continue Reading
It was our final day in Cusco and yet somehow, we still hadn’t managed to get round to trying one of the (unofficial) national dishes of Peru – Cuy. Cuy is roast guinea pig, given what it is you can probably guess why we’d skipped this at every meal so far! My only experience with … Continue Reading
Panuati is one of Nepal’s oldest towns and one of its most important historically too – largely due to the fact that it’s pretty much been left the way the founders built the town. It’s not too far from Kathmandu either (it’s actually a commuter town for some people) so it makes for the perfect … Continue Reading
