Full disclosure, I’m totally biased and I have no hesitation in shouting from the rooftops about how gorgeous and picturesque my home country of Wales actually is. There are so many incredible and best places in Wales that you just have to see. Now, it may be well over a decade since I left but … Continue Reading

I should really start our the ‘tale’ of our trip to Turkey from the very beginning but just in the same way I like to skip mains and go straight for dessert and wine, I’m going to impatiently skip the beginning till later. Arriving in Turkey, we stayed at the Rixos Premium Göcek (a bargain Lloyd … Continue Reading
Arriving into Hamburg was certainly something of a surprise to the system. For starters, we arrived on a beautiful yet freezing cold day (after spending almost a month in over 30C temperatures in the Maldives and Sri Lanka), then there was how beautiful and ‘shiny’ the city looked, all prepped up for Christmas… … and … Continue Reading

Much as we would have liked to explore a Buttercup route that after leaving the pretty little village of Gasadalur (which is home to that amazing waterfall), we had to hot-footed it across the island back to the capital city of Torshavn where we had plans to try our hands at some Faroese rib boating!

I do love a good getaway… especially to Bristol! In any case, off I’m out and about exploring Bristol in more detail this weekend and so far so good.

As you’ve seen in so many posts now, I’m obsessed with Norway’s many fjords. I’ve wanted to see them for ages and they most certainly live up to the hype. They’re absolutely breathtaking and worth travelling across the world to see. That being said, Norway also has an astonishing 1,190 Fjords (saaaaay whaaaaaaaat?) and so … 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
Seeing as we’d both skipped breakfast earlier in the day, due to a ridiculous lack of planning on both our parts, lunch time at the Fraggle Rock bar was most certainly a much anticipated affair! It took me all of two seconds to decide what to have – fish and chips all round and a … Continue Reading
And no, it’s nothing to do with a mispronounced word or a meal you should have tried in Italy. But let’s take a step back first to set some context. *Oh and by ‘you’, I mean ‘we’… (we only just found out about this today!) Milan is one of the most popular cities to visit … Continue Reading
