November 28, 2019Part #2 of our Cambodian journey was upon us. We were off for some chilled days on the island of Koh Rong Samloem (or Koh Rong Sanloem – even Google doesn’t seem to be sure!). We had our final breakfast in Siem Reap & caught a tuk-tuk for the 30-minute journey to the airport. An…

Parga, Greece – A Great Week Getaway! Well Worthy Of A Return.
July 19, 2019The 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…
Slovenia & Ljubljana Craft Beer – A Gem Of A Place – Day #1
June 23, 2019Well, 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 #9 – Himalayas & Pokhara
November 16, 2018The 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…

We were in…
Montenegro Day #6 – Lakes, Lakes and Eco Lodges With Views
July 6, 2018Breakfast was dumplings + bits of omelette + various ‘cheese’ served – the dumplings were lovely and were good with cheese & honey. So off we went—two lakes to visit. The first lake was a ‘bonus’ due to nobody signing up for a hike. Lisa & I rented a rowing boat for an hour –…

May 13, 2018Walking. A lot of walking Oh, my Christ we did walk a lot! Synagogue – we looked – bollocks to paying, it wasn’t cheap & was a queue.
