Journal snippet | December 2009 | Flores Island. We waited beneath the ever warming sunshine for a Bemo (an Indonesia minibus) but as always they only appear when you don’t need one. We eventually gave up and decided to walk 3km uphill to the bus stop in Bajawa. Our backpacks were weighing us down and we…

Top 5 places to revisit
We try to never make decisions that we will regret…but I’m a terrible decision maker and Craig isn’t much better, so it’s inevitable that there’s a few things we’ve missed out on. Maybe we’ve made some bad choices in the past, but when you travel for such a long period of time it’s hard to…
The best of our Europe Roadtrip
Looking back at the photos we took on our Europe roadtrip make us wish we were back on the road. I might of complained on hikes of being exhausted and sweaty but each and every one was worth the huff and puff for the incredible views they revealed. We’ve browsed through and picked our favourite…
Incredible rock formations and deep canyons in northern Spain
After some thought we have decided to head home for Christmas – our first with the family in 6 years. This has meant shortening our trip slightly, and we won’t see as much of Spain as we’d hoped, maybe we’ll come back in the future, it’s a huge country to explore. So what we will…
Storm chasing our way to Andorra
We experienced one of our worst storms the other night that seemed to just torment us and circle around Pablo for hours. Flashes of lightning were beaming through the cracks in our curtains and the rumbles of thunder became louder and more frequent; I barely got to ‘one Mississippi’ before the next one hit. The…
More jaw dropping views from Croatia
I’ve seen numerous photos of Croatia’s Plitvice lakes; their usually on websites displaying breathtaking places you didn’t know existed in the world. They instantly made it onto my list of places to visit, but I hadn’t heard much about Krka National Park, further South. I’d read it had some of Croatia’s most impressive scenery, but…
Giant crater lakes and Croatia’s highest mountains
The Biokovo mountain range seemed to just shoot up from Croatia’s coastline. The lower slopes were forested, but the vast majority was steep, grey rock rising over 1000m with sheer edges. It forms a wall along the coast and plateaus off at the top with numerous bumpy peaks including Croatia’s highest mountain at 1762m. We…
2914m above Bulgaria
Bansko is a major ski resort in Bulgaria, and the mountains around it are part of Pirin National Park. We hated the town as soon as we arrived, it was over developed and ski villages look crap without snow. We managed to find a road that led up the mountain, to nearly 2000m at the…
Remember when: We had lunch with a Rhino
We didn’t have any bus break down’s in our entire 4 months in India. Yet the first bus we took in Nepal broke down and was deemed a piece of scrap metal. We left the other hopeful passengers and sucked up another fare on a different bus…which also broke down. Eventually, we made it to…
I lied, Norway got even better, Hello Lofoten!!
I knew the Lofoten islands would be stunning, but they’ve still managed to wow me and leave my jaw hanging low. We’ve only been here a few days and already seen such incredible scenery. The ferry dropped us off at Moskenes at 9pm, from which we headed west to the end of the road at…
