14-17 August: Poutine Dream
Fresh with ginger pigtails in our sights, and lobster in our tastebuds, we headed west of PEI to Canada, but not ordinary Canada, French Canada! A chance to get some of our mediocre French back on, we were off to Quebec. But before we could get there, a stopover for pasta dinner at a picnic […]

6-13 August: Red Claws to Red Pigtails!
OK so we were on the road again, on our next leg, full of the promise of all the great and amazing things that we were about to discover… so exciting! We had been camping and road tripping through Europe for almost 9 weeks we had learnt so much and were total professionals on the […]

27 July-6 August: Sox in the City
Whoa, Ok so where did the time go?? We have been very lax and lazy about our blogs since leaving the European continent. One might say getting into the US Spirit 😉 Since arriving on the American continent Duncan and I have been focusing on the New England area with a little of South Eastern […]

20-26 July: When in Rome
“When in Rome” is fast becoming Duncan’s favourite saying of our trip. Each time we are unsure if we should do something Duncan pipes up with “Well, when in Rome…?”. In true Ron Burgundy style, this often makes no sense, but our decision to make a spontaneous trip to the French beach side town of […]

11 – 20 July: It’s a long way to the top if you want to rock Cadel!
WARNING: This blog post may contain scenes of randomness, hilarity, drunkenness and overall joy. Please use discretion prior to reading this post as it is LONG and factual.

9-10 July: Oh Porto
Normally a place where we only spend 24 hours does not get it’s own blog, but this was Porto and we had had a dining experience of a lifetime, a complete blast meeting people and drinking the fabulous port all within a very picturesque city with lots of history and a wonderful vibe. I apologise […]

5-8 July: Portuguese Starts
WooHoo! Fourth European country – Portugal! It was a country that neither Duncan or I had been to, we knew very little about it, didn’t have a guide book to tell us the hot spots or even a road map to tell where to go. With no expectations, just a desire to visit it and […]

27 June-4 July: The Little Spanish Flee
It takes some getting used to, one moment we are in one country with its language, customs, food, architecture, laws and protocol; then suddenly we are in another country with a whole lot of new customs, food, architecture and language. Especially now the EU has meant that crossings are little more than state border crossings […]

20-26 June: Tapa Time
With our treasured camera back in our hot little hands, and leaving the warming glow of the Dordogne in its wake, we set off down south. With a day lost waiting for our camera, we needed to bomb it down to the south of Spain to catch up with mates for El Noche De San […]

11-20 June: Been There Dordogne That
Ahhhhhh, the Dordogne!! Duncan and I had a crush on this region in France when we stayed here for two week during our honeymoon. Now unfortunately we are full on, head over heels in love with the place. We always knew that we would spend a bit of time in the region so we decided […]
