After two nights in Chitwan, it was time to say farewell to this fantastic UNESCO World Heritage site and head off in search of more of Nepal! Our next stop was a very important one for Buddhists, not just in Nepal, but across the world – the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Lumbini, the birthplace … Continue Reading
Hi! I’ve been meaning to put a quick update about the travel plans we have confirmed so far for this year. We’ve booked plans for just the first few weeks of the year so far which is exciting as that means there’s still a lot of room on the calendar to visit more places! I … 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
I went skiing for the first time recently – you probably know this from this post here (and here) and my countless Instagram, Facebook and Twitter updates. Before going skiing, we did all the typical planning – get ski gear, find our how to get to the town, sort out ski passes, figure out where … Continue Reading
I’m not even sure why we initially decided to hike up Huayna Picchu. I certainly knew nothing of the amazing view in-store at the top. I rarely ever go out of my way to climb mountains. Then there’s the fact that doing anything strenuous at high altitude becomes even more difficult as you find yourself … Continue Reading
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
Seattle is one of my favourite American cities. Im fact, it reminds me of Edinburgh in the UK in a lot of ways. Not in terms of the architecture or anything else fairly obvious, more in terms of the vibe of being in a city. It’s big enough that you don’t feel claustrophobic, yet small … Continue Reading
Our arrival in Ibiza was straight off the heels of our time wine tasting draaanking in Slovenia and, seeing as we wanted to make the most of the time there, we made the decision to leave on one of the earliest flights out of London to Ibiza. This seemed like such an amazing decision till we … Continue Reading
![The Sights Of Florence, Italy... A Photo Diary [Part2] (18)](https://i0.wp.com/handluggageonly.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/IMG_2947-s1.jpg?fit=1600%2C1066&ssl=1)
All the photos from my recent trip to Florence… I will try to keep this within the remits of a photo diary and so I won’t rehash the sights, sounds and tastes of Florence (already did that in this post)! There are quite a few photos here so I’ve split it into two posts otherwise it would take forever … Continue Reading
Our safari adventure started in Johannesburg but we didn’t get to see much of the city. We arrived late in the afternoon and by the time we had checked into the hotel, freshed up, gone for a quick dip in the pool and subsequently had to refreshen up again, it was night time so we … Continue Reading
Swiftly following on from our time in Oia and Fira, we woke up bright and early for our early morning pick up by George from Santorini Tours. The tour was bespoke and so no concrete plans were made without speaking to us first. Having just been to Oia and Fira, we pretty much said we’d … Continue Reading
You can see them all for free and can cover most of them on a weekend trip to Bratislava! Our trip to Bratislava was one I went on with an open mind and a sense of adventure! I’d never been before, I didn’t do much planning, didn’t know what to expect and I was looking … 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
After our morning snorkelling around the house reef, the rest of the afternoon was devoted to soaking in as much sunshine as possible and splashing around in the pool! The Angsana Velavaru ocean villa pools are a lot bigger than I’d anticipated and, drinks in hand, are a perfect way to make the most of … Continue Reading
