Colombo, Sri Lanka. After finding a fantastic online promotion we had our first taste of a long haul flight in business class and on none other than Emirates airlines… What a great experience! Our journey started with a 24 lay over in Dubai which gave us enough time for a look around the city and…
Walking on a Glacier
Reykjavik, Iceland. If you’re looking for a budget friendly holiday, look elsewhere! I feel like the first thing I have to warn everyone about if planning a trip to Iceland is the extortionate prices! And I’m not exaggerating.

Getting people to stop while they are doing 70kmph…

Flying into Auckland we had a little time to explore the city, my friend Sheila…
Blue Mountains
Sydney, Australia. The starting point of our 3 week holiday after the longest journey either of us has ever undertaken. If memory serves me well I believe it was about 33 hours door to door and some very confused body clocks. Sydney is a great city, it’s absolutely vast, all built around the harbour. Everyone…
