We’ll be spending a couple of months in a small village on the Greek island of Skopelos. We were a little shocked with the temperature when we first arrived to be honest. It was almost as cold as England and the chilly wind whipped through my thin clothes that I’d worn for our transport day…
Our next destination | Volunteering in Greece
We spent 2016 having an incredible time exploring China, the Philippines, Japan and Hawaii -which aren’t exactly our normal backpacker budget locations but we felt that after 8 years of travel we should open our wallets a little and not be such tight arses. So we splashed out and I’m so happy we did as…
Highlights from our trip to Tulum, Mexico
Almost everything we did in Tulum was water based, just how we like it! We explored underwater caves, snorkelled with turtles, rode waves in the Caribbean Sea and jumped into a hidden lagoon in the jungle. Here’s a video of our highlights:
Snorkelling with turtles at Akumal | Mexico
Our Airbnb host kindly offered to take us on a day trip for cheaper than the bus so we were happy to be chauffeured around. I think she enjoyed the company and it worked out well for us too. We headed north to Akumal which is home to a pretty beach with a calm, curved…
Getting off the beaten track in Tulum
We knew Tulum was famous for its beaches, ruins and Cenotes but we also managed to find a cool spot off the beaten track. It was a lake called Laguna Kaan Luum and only about 8km south of Tulum town. Not many collectivo’s head south so we were lucky to only have a 15 minute…
Exploring The Temple Of Doom and Gran Cenote | Mexico
A Cenote is basically a natural swimming hole where limestone rock has collapsed and it’s like an open invitation into the magical underground river system. These mineral rich pools can be in caves or surrounded by dense jungle and the Yucatan Peninsula is dotted with them. After browsing the internet I ended up picking Gran…
Wild weather, stunning beaches and spicy food in Tulum
A smooth flight took us over the Florida keys and across the Gulf of Mexico landing us in sunny Cancun for a nine day little holiday – a bizarre concept for us long term travellers. We arrived in a very organised airport with toilets much cleaner and more modern than the squaller ones at Fort…
A taste of old times in Miami
We had five days left in America so based ourselves in Dania Beach at an Airbnb which was cheaper than a hostel, and much nicer too. We met a lovely lady from Belize, called Michelle who was also staying at the house and was such a character and so full of life. One night Craig…
Paddle boarding with dolphins, watching spoonbills and selling our campervan
We’ve conquered all our goals for this epic trip, our times running out, our visa is expiring and our flight is booked, all that’s left to do is sell Daphne, our home on wheels. We tried selling her on the outskirts of Miami, it was horrible, we did two test drives along the horribly busy…
The end of the road | Key West
The all American road leading through the Florida Keys looks spectacular from the sky. I’ve only googled that mind you but as soon as I saw the photos of the road I declared that we had to drive the legendary route. It actually wasn’t as spectacular to drive as we’d hoped. The bridges were extremely…
