One of the many joys of a trip to Iceland is learning to (or at least trying to) pronounce Icelandic names and perhaps, one of the more fun ones to try to pronounce is the Eyjafjallajökull volcano… …but more on that later. The first time I saw the Northern Lights was by no means unplanned. The … Continue Reading
Hey!!! We’ve just arrived in the airport in Reykjavik and I just had to write this post rather quickly. (The next challenge will be to actually find WiFi so I can post this!) This is a rather quick update to let you know we’ve just arrived in Iceland and as you can imagine -it’s… er… … Continue Reading
Plus, a cheeky snap I took of the Northern Lights last night! As you already know, we’re in Iceland. Hence, why you may not have been hearing much from us lately but I’ve been updating our Facebook, Instagram and Twitter with some (just some) of the experiences we’ve had so far. Just in case you … Continue Reading
By now you already know we’ve spent the last week in Iceland, and boy was it a fun and rather action-packed week. Now, this is the first part of a two-part post. It’s split into two parts as there are way too many photos to fit into one post. The second post is available immediately over … Continue Reading
This is the 2nd part of this post if you missed part 1; catch it here. Okay, so where were we? Right, we were still at the Laugarvatn Fontana, where I’d made the decision to cool off by jumping into the freezing river. It’s a very shallow river by the way but that notwithstanding, it … Continue Reading
We arrived in Iceland to find that there was a storm warning (which we chose to ignore) but the next day, we woke up to find a couple of distressing emails. Activities we had booked for the weekend had all been cancelled due to the storm! Turns out, the storm was going to be one … Continue Reading
These are easy mistakes to make, especially if you’re not familiar with London but hopefully, this post should help you avoid potentially making these common sightseeing mistakes. This is a bit of a light-hearted post and not mean to poke fun at anyone who genuinely gets/got confused by any of the sights below – instead. … Continue Reading
This was already high up on my list of unique experiences in Iceland and regardless of the weather, we were intent on doing it. Turns out, the weather was indeed awful everywhere else but when we turned up the rather scenic drive to Hestheimar, the weather quite literally took a turn for the better. Yes, … Continue Reading
It’s at the opposite end of the island from the capital, it’s not really got a lot of shops and houses and you’d be hard-pressed to find hordes of tourists milling around here but Akrotiri in Santorini is one of the places you should definitely visit in Santorini and here’s why! 1.) The Ancient Grecian … Continue Reading
As you already know, we’d been planning on going skiing and we have arrived in Austria to do just that! By now you already know the drill and know that I will be keeping you updated on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter with all the details and no doubt hilarity that will ensue from what is actually my first … Continue Reading
The Cotswolds are renowned for being of the most sought after places to live in and indeed to holiday in, in the UK and rightly so. Every time we’ve been, it’s been the picturesque essence of British charm – even on dark and overcast days. The winding streets, ancient houses, cheerful people and acres of … Continue Reading
It is so beautiful here!!! Okay, as you know, we’re currently in Austria skiing and as you can imagine with any skiing holiday, we’ve been so busy that it’s been tricky to do a blog post update hence why I have been providing more realtime updates on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter, but I have now found … Continue Reading
Train travel is perhaps one of the best ways to explore the UK – especially if you don’t drive. Aww heck, even if you do drive, it’s still so much easier to get on a train, relax and watch the cities and countryside whiz past. Plus, it’s pretty easy to get around the country and … Continue Reading
If you ever find yourself driving in Iceland, you will find that you will have to make many impromptu road stops just to take in the landscape and take in a few photos. Try as you might, no one can resist doing this and it is this very act that led the 4 of us … Continue Reading
