The Beginning is in Sight
So in approximately 3 weeks, we will be packing up our life and moving to the UK. Which is weird, as nothing much has changed at all. We’re still in our house, with all our furniture, it’s school holidays with the kids, and life keeps on keeping on. The big reason is, we are still […]

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. This blog will probably be the hardest blog to write as each day during Le Tour, Ed, Kam and myself would religiously conduct ‘catch-up’ sessions to recount […]

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 […]

8-11 June: Four Walls and a Few Mates
Prior to starting our trip, we were really looking forward to the camping leg. Getting out, driving around, meeting people in campsites and sharing some drinks with our new found friends. The camping has been fantastic, great to get back to basics in some amazing country. However, there have been a few things which we […]

5-8 June: Ain’t No Mountain High Enough
It is kinda fun that each time we leave a campsite, what eventuates is us looking over a map saying “Where to now?”! Gosh, we are so close to Italy!! On this particular morning we decided, just because it would be kinda fun, we would head to Torino and have lunch in Italy. I could […]
