It will be 2014 by the time I complete this blog post series. Anyway…. The rail journey from Grindelwald to Paris wasn’t quite as spectacular as from Venice to Grindelwald, but it was still a great way to travel. This time we caught a German Deutsche Bahn inter-city train. It ticked all the boxes - … read more

It’s been a while since I’ve posted but back to the trip….. Leaving early that morning, our departure was mixed with a sense of regret that we’d only allowed one full day in Venice, but also excitement for the next stage of our itinerary.

A late flight to Venice from Gatwick Airport landed us at Venice Marco Polo Airport shortly after midnight. This was our first visit to Venice but I’d done my research. I knew at some point we would undoubtedly get lost in the car-less maze which is Venice. Trip Series Links Part 1: The Planning … read more

The next 10 days of our itinerary were to be spent in England, visiting family and friends and visiting a few places that we’d always wanted to visit but never got around to it when we lived there. After a trundle up the A1 from London, we finally arrived in Doncaster at about 9pm, a good 5 hours … read more

We had the dreaded night flight from Singapore to London Heathrow, flying with British Airways. It was the first time I’d flown with BA and I wasn’t impressed. After the great Qantas flight it was like stepping back in time. It looked like they hadn’t updated their cabins for 20 years. Small TV … read more

We’re off. After all the months of planning and anticipation the day had finally arrived. I woke really early again that morning. I’m not sure why I had been having such problems getting a good night’s sleep in the weeks before we left. Perhaps it was subconscious anxiety about the trip - a worry … read more

So much for good intentions. I had spent that much time planning this year’s trip that I fully intended to live blog it - giving a day-by-day narration to our adventures. When it came to it however, the itinerary was that packed that for the first 3 weeks there was not a single hour spare to sit … read more

Yesterday myself and Lauren took a trip up to Mount Coo-Tha to take some pics while Rach did some cooking to get ready for the ‘divas’ coming round.We had a quick look around the Botanical Gardens which deserve a much longer stay than what we afforded, before heading up to the scenic … read more

I love Tom Cruise. There, I’ve said it. The break-up of Tom-Kat seems to have sparked another round of Tom Cruise bashing in the media. I really don’t understand the crazy tag that got assigned to him after jumping on Oprah Winfrey’s sofa. Why was that such a big deal? What’s wrong with showing a … read more
