Our final island in the Maldives was definitely one of my favourites of the 8 islands we’d visited! That island was Kandolhu. The fact that it’s included in Small Luxury Hotels was kind of a giveaway before we arrived that it would be good but somehow it still managed to surprise and impress me. A lot … Continue Reading
Geneva’s old town is absolutely gorgeous and is perhaps more what people would expect from the city compared to say – paragliding into the city from France or chilling by a beach club. The best way to explore this is really, as I mentioned before, to just ‘get lost’ here. Wander through the city slowly, … Continue Reading
Swiftly following the morning’s sailing/kayaking and lunch-time gluttony (if you missed that – check out part 1 of this post – which has been split to two parts due to having lots of photos), my friends and I (who must have put on quite a few pounds from lunch alone) headed off to the next … Continue Reading
The sun came out to play the next day in Cologne! It’s funny how a little thing like blue skies can change the look of a city so much. After a quick walk through the city to burn off the breakfast calories, we found ourselves back at Cologne Cathedral, totally determined to climb it! By … Continue Reading
Our return to Sri Lanka was something of a last-minute plan. As you might remember, we’d been to Sri Lanka earlier in the year and although our itinerary back then was quite full and we managed to pack in quite a lot for one week, there was still so much of Sri Lanka that I’d … Continue Reading
Upon arrival in Hong Kong, as any good traveller would, we hurried off to our hotel to drop off our stuff while taking in some of the city on our ride in. Luckily, we got upgraded to a two-bedroom suite at the hotel with amazing views all round (more on that on another post). Before … Continue Reading
The following morning in Sarlat, we found ourselves with a fair bit of free time. We would be meeting with a chef later in the day to try some proper cuisine from the region but for now, time to see Sarlat in the glorious sunshine! As we were in Sarlat on a Saturday morning, the … Continue Reading
Thoughts of Italy conjures up images of beautiful rolling hills, basking in that famous Italian sunshine, stunning cities, ancient churches and colourful picturesque houses all stacked on a hill overlooking the sea. By and large, this has come to be a big reason why most of us visit (or indeed, want to visit) Italy. Thing … Continue Reading
The next day at Amberley castle, I woke up to surprisingly heavy rain! It’d been so sunny the day before and the rain was the last thing I’d expected. Being British though, you really learn to roll with the punches when it comes to the weather and so we didn’t even skip and beat and … Continue Reading
After hiking and exploring Mont Ventoux yesterday, today was going to be a little more chilled. Especially as the weather turned a little grey, which made for the perfect excuse to seek shelter indoors and sip on some local wines. Before that though, I was still determined to get back to Séguret after our fleeting little visit … Continue Reading
I’ve gotta give credit to Lloyd for finding this gem! He and Georgia pored the internet for hours before coming up with this place. He found it on Airbnb and although he went on and on about how he’d come up with a brilliant find. I was so preoccupied with so many other things that … Continue Reading
We arrived into Florida on the sunniest of afternoons (like one of those afternoons that was hot – even for Floridians), which instantly put a smile on my face. It had just been grey in London and the weather was having one of those transitional “not-cold-enough-for-coats but also not-warm-enough-to-go-out-without-one” kinda limbo moments (which happens over … Continue Reading
When we arrived in Jasper, we’d originally had a whole day set aside for skiing in Marmot Basin. With the change of plans on the first day which saw us explore the amazing Pyramid Island, lake and mountain area, before heading off to the Icefields Parkway instead of Maligne Canyon and hence moving Maligne Canyon … Continue Reading
Some are near, some are far. Some are oldies (but goodies), some are newbies. Some are quite specific, some are more general. What they do have in common is that these are the 15 places that I would looooooove to visit. ✈ Edit: Now, I’ve been able to visit quite a few of these stunning … Continue Reading
