We couldn’t recommend the sights, sounds and flavours of Sri Lanka more. It is such a diverse country with cool, rainy hills in the centre, hot sunny beaches around the edges, a varied and vibrant capital city and even a scorching desert in the north (though we didn’t get there). Below is a complete guide to Sri Lanka 2019 with…
The Sri Lankan Hill Country is spectacular, with huge mountains, valleys and ridges running through the centre of the Sri Lankan island. Haputale is a small village/town nestled on the top of one of these ridges. It is generally used as a gateway to Lipton’s seat, but Haputale itself really is worth a visit. Not more trains Now just about…
One of the most Instagrammed tourist attraction in Sri Lanka is the nine arch bridge designed by the British over 100 years ago. The majority of people take a train from Colombo or Kandy to Ella to enjoy the scenic rail and see the bridge. We decided to cut it up into stages starting first in Nuwara Eliya, aka: Little…
Our second full day in Kandy was slightly more relaxing than our first. The walk up to the Big Buddha was lovely and it was interesting to watch the traditional Kandyan dancing. The Best Hostel keeps on getting better We woke up at a more reasonable hour today remembering that breakfast was included in our ten pound a night price.…
What an excellent day! Jenny told me she wanted to get up early because it was our last day and we had to get to brunch. But I didn’t know that she secretly had a surprise planned for me. Very sneaky and such an amazing end to an awesome trip to New York. Let me tell you all about it.
Anyone who has watched Suits (or any other TV programme set in New York) will know that the thing to do for breakfast is to buy a bagel from a food cart on the sidewalk. We had bacon, egg and cheese bagels (Jenny without the cheese, a decision she immediately regretted). This set us up for the day ahead at…
New York and it’s iconic Central Park was something both of us wanted to see. Jenny had been as a child but now wanted to enjoy it once more. Luckily (unlike the rest of the trip), the rain was holding off so we were up by eight and off to the park. Unfortunately I was hungry, none of the food…
The seas around Paros are crystal blue and what better way to explore them out on a boat. Captain Ben was our day cruise of choice, we were deciding between Ben and Yianni but when we got through to Yianni it sounded like he was in a hurricane and said his boat would not be ready for ten days. Morning…
The day we really came here for. Our first wedding anniversary. What a lovely day, with beautiful sights and amazing food.
Lovćen Mountain View Coming to the end of our trip to Montenegro we were running out of things to do, so we set off on a drive to the old Capital, Cetinje. On our way we noticed a sign to Lovcen view point, so we changed direction and headed off. The road wound up the mountain and we passed multiple…
