The island of Santorini is worth it. Santorini is one of those places you should go to once in your life, especially if you’re in Greece anyway. It is a big touristic island full of touristic shops and restaurants. It is also full of tourists. I wondered “why are all these people here on MY … More The Steps of Splendid Santorini
In Athens, there are a lot of cats. So many that I nearly titled this post ‘Cat-thens’ but that made Callum snort derisively, so I am only writing a sentence or two about it here. Having just kissed our little furballs goodbye for the next month, I was happy to see some feline friends nearly … More The Slippery City of Athens
Our next stop was to much warmer climes, in the charming little town of Strahan. This was our last new location, and our second last stop of our Tasmanian holiday. Strahan doesn’t have a lot going on but we absolutely loved our accommodation and the activity we did while there. We stayed at a boutique … More 14 Days in Van Diemen’s Land (Part 3)
Day 5 we didn’t do much besides driving to St Helens and viewing the Bay of Fires. This refers to the east coastline of rocks with stunning orange algae on it. The name is not referencing this orange colour, but instead was named in 1733 by Captain Tobias Furneaux in Adventure, who saw the fires … More 14 Days in Van Diemen’s Land (Part 2)
Well, it has been a very long time since my last post! 2019 was a bit of a work year for us, and while we did do a bloggable trip to Margaret River, I never got around to writing it. Then 2020 happened. Therefore, I have been paying to have a blog site that I … More 14 Days in Van Diemen’s Land (Part 1)
After missable Mandalay, we luxuriously flew to Bagan rather than take a bus. It was very nice to do so. The airport even sold Italian gelato and we indulged in that while waiting for our flight. We arrived in Bagan in the evening, checked into our hotel and then promptly continued the Italian theme by … More Beautiful Bagan (with balloons!)
After Inle Lake we took an 8.5 hour “bus” (read: minivan with uncomfy seats) to Mandalay. It was quite a long arduous journey during the day where I got a lot of reading done. The good thing was that it was never a full bus so Callum got to lounge in the back by himself … More Surrounds of Mandalay
From Yangon we took a very long 12 hour overnight bus to Inle Lake. These sorts of trips are always really tough for me, someone who values comfort perhaps more than anything! But when we first got on, the seats were comfortable and we had a tv screen with movies to watch. The choices were … More Fishing for Lake Carp
It’s been over a year since I wrote a blog post. In that year, we have been working and having normal day to day adventures. It was a bit of an adjustment after nearly a year of travelling to come back but the busyness of work and home-life took over once again. It was both … More Mingalabar, Myanmar!
We spent 6 days in Flic en Flac, Mauritius and kind of used up most of our time just resting. The time of year was not the best to visit the island nation as it is cyclone season and it rained a bit the first two days we were there. However, it was not a … More Reflections: Nine Months of Travel
