Parga, Greece – A Great Week Getaway! Well Worthy Of A Return.
July 19, 2019 0The first thing to say is that this was a lovely location for a week’s chilled getaway! We would definitely return……not something we usually say or do but this was perfect for a simple week away. The minor ‘blip’ is that it flies direct from Gatwick. From Luton, you can fly to Corfu & get…
Ljubljana, Slovenia – Day 2 & 3 of this wonderful Capital City
June 29, 2019 0One place you have to visit if you go to Ljubljana is Lake Bled. As soon as you search for the Top 10 things to do this is in the top 3. This is when we discovered how efficient Slovenian buses were & cheap! They turn up exactly on time & arrive the same. Off…
Ljubljana, Slovenia – A Gem Of A Place That Serves Craft Beer – Day #1
June 23, 2019 0Well, the first thing to say is what a destination for a short break! We loved it. Part of this was because Ljubljana also sells craft beer!

Nepal Day #11 & #12 – Nagarkot, Kathmandu & Home
November 18, 2018 0The alarm went off well before 6 am. We got up. Opened the curtains. We were greeted with… ….fuck all! Just fog, smog or mist – you can never tell. It was effectively a ‘white-out’. Yep, we had added another day, night, travel and hotel onto our trip, to see sweet FA. Himalaya’s my arse!…
Nepal Day #10 – Kathmandu & Nagarkot
November 17, 2018 1Well, this was a long but very good day. After breakfast, we were met by our guide for another tour of a different part of Kathmandu – Bhaktapur What a pleasure this was. His English was excellent & he was very interesting. We saw many temples and historic buildings. This area was famous for having…
Nepal Day #9 – Himalayas & Pokhara
November 16, 2018 0The morning view of the Himalayas was another blinder. Better than the 1st day I would say. This was the last part of our ‘Trek’ & was potentially even shorter than the already ‘joke’ short treks up to now. Needless to say, we had a late start to try & eek it all out a…
Nepal Day #8 – Day 2 of the Trek – Australian Base Camp
November 15, 2018 0We got our phone call at 6 AM. It was cold but it was well worth it. The Himalayas. It was stunning. We stood there for ages & watched the sunrise. We could see Annapurna II & Fishtail (Machapuchare) The latter has never been climbed to its summit. We were told that lots attempted to…
