As you can imagine, we were fairly keen to say goodbye to Canberra and continue onwards to a more interesting and accessible city. Canberra was quite a bit of hard work. We got a fairly unpleasant night bus from Canberra down to Melbourne, our final Australian stop. I’d heard a lot of good things about … Continue reading
Although we were working for a large part of our stay in Hawkes Bay, we still had plenty of chances to enjoy all the local attractions. Staying with Allan and Rhondda meant we had access to top quality recommendations, so on our days off we had plenty to do. Napier itself is a charming city … Continue reading
It was a beautiful day in Hawkes Bay, the sky was blue, the sun shining; it was the perfect day to drink cold wine in the sun with friends. Becks had encouraged us to get tickets and go with her to the Bridge Pa Wine Festival, which she’d been to last year and loved it. … Continue reading
After reluctantly leaving lovely Sucre, we caught a bumpy overnight bus to the colossal city of La Paz. I don’t think there’s been a place on our journey so far that I haven’t looked forward to visiting for some reason or another, but after reading a bit about La Paz, I didn’t have the highest … Continue reading
After a few days in Colonia we got a bus three hours East to the Uruguayan capital, Montevideo. Over one third of the 3.5 million Uruguayans live in Montevideo, and you get the sense that it’s a mini Buenos Aires (montevideanos probably wouldn’t like it being described as that!). We stayed for two days by … Continue reading
After our stay in São Paulo, our journey continued south west to the city of Curitiba. We needed to find a way to get from Rio to the Iguaçu Falls without getting a 24 hour (or probably longer) bus. So our two stops on the way we’re São Paulo and Curitiba. Curitiba was a bit … Continue reading
São Paulo is a funny one. It looks like New York with palm trees, it’s as big as London and has the hills of San Fransisco. It looks beautiful in pictures with its huge skyscrapers and gorgeous blue skies, but there one thing holding it back – there isn’t much to do! It has museums, … Continue reading
I can’t think of anything that’s easier to cook than these tarts (possibly beans on toast, but that doesn’t look as fancy). They’re something nice to cook if friends are coming over for dinner, but are so quick and easy (and cheap!) that you won’t be left slaving away in the kitchen. Ingredients: Puff pastry … Continue reading
A day off from work means a day of baking and eating. Today I visited my lovely Jasmin and we made delicious mint chocolate cupcakes and banoffee pie. I’ll begin with the cupcakes. It uses basic sponge quantities – however many eggs you use, you use double the amount of flour, sugar and butter in … Continue reading
