Our trip to Jordan marked our first real foray into the Middle East, and what a wonderful start to this mysterious and enigmatic part of the world. Yes, technically you could say that we had already visited Egypt…but really that sits in North Africa, a whole different continent away from Jordan! We had about 10 …
eSwatini? You may know it as Swaziland, a tiny little African country set in the north eastern side of South Africa. Swaziland was still its name when we visited (so it’ll be still used in this blog), but in 2018 the King decided that a new name was needed and so eSwatini was born. Just …
Driving over 4000 kilometres from the top to the bottom of South Africa is an awesome road trip, that on paper seems doable in 17 days but in reality there is so much to see that even double that amount of time is not enough. 17 days was all we had though (which is still …
Back again for our full tour of Cuba, having started in Havana, then moving to the other main towns and cities that the country has to offer, and now Part III will unveil some of the best spots to basque in the sun and take a nice refreshing dip in the sea…it’s time to look …
With a car and chauffeur (Matt) we had the whole of Cuba to see and explore. In the space of two and a half weeks you can pretty much cover all of the western and central parts of Cuba that need to be seen…getting down to Santiago in the eastern tip of the country however, …

In this part of the trip you’ll see lots of green, rivers, waterfalls and caves; things get a bit more adventurous in this blog, but …
A bit of a travel back in time for our blog posts to 2012 when summers were longer, budgets smaller and our taste for adventure just as hungry as today and we ventured into the unknown of Cuba. Although in a time-warp for decades, Cuba has seen a big transformation over the past few years, …
Sandwiched between the Alps and the Adriatic, Slovenia is a charming country that will astonish you with its mountainous outdoors and its subterranean indoors. We visited in June, when the temperatures are warm but you may still need a rain coat or umbrella to get through the occasional summer storm. Getting there and around Centred …
A European island gem in the south of Italy. As Italian as pasta and mama, but with a history so varied that it is just as apart from Italy in many ways from the influences of Greece, Arabia, Spain and Normandy. Its particular foods and flavours and its secret familial society that has kept de …
Another look back to our travelling history and to one of the most enchantingly wild parts of Europe…Iceland. Back in 2011 Iceland was still recovering from the infamy of a financial crisis that spread to most of the world and the eruption of its tongue twister volcano Eyjafjallajökull that pretty much shut down travel around …
