Once we had recovered from the Routeburn Great Walk, after resting our muscles and having some real food again (that wasn’t freeze dried powder), we made our way back towards Christchurch, where Tim and Clare were due to fly home. On the way back we broke up the long journey by spending a couple of … Continue reading

In Pictures: Street Scrawls of South America
South American streets are full of graffiti, here’s a selection of some of the street art we’ve seen so far. Who needs a canvas when you’ve got public buildings, right? Continue reading
The Falling Water of Brazil and Argentina
The next part of our trip was one I had been looking forward to since we decided on South America as a destination. We caught an overnight bus from Curitiba to the small city of Foz do Iguaçu, home of the world famous Iguaçu Falls. The waterfalls (or Cataratas) are situated a short bus ride … Continue reading
We’re goin’ to Margate!
Last weekend the fella and I needed a break from the relentlessly busy London town, so after a little bit of a snoop online, we decided to see what the seaside town of Margate had to offer us. Neither of us had been before and we thought it’d be a great chance to visit somewhere … Continue reading
It’s all Greek to me…
I’ve been lucky enough to spend a few weeks this summer on the beautiful Greek island of Corfu. With its landscape covered densely in green olive trees and a backdrop of brilliant blue sea, it’s the perfect place to truly relax. I’ve been going there since I was a small child, so the island is … Continue reading

Sometimes it’s just not feasible to whip out your slr camera when you’re rushing to work or uni. … Continue reading
Liebster Award – Passing on the virtual love
Recently, I was nominated by a fellow blogger (afotitos, thank you very much!) for a Liebster Award (from the German verb for love, I assume). It’s not a traditional award with a panel of judges or official nominations or anything like that, but it’s just a way of one blogger telling another blogger that they … Continue reading
Lots of Lochs
About an hours drive from the city of Glasgow are some of the most picturesque views I have ever seen. We were so lucky with the weather and it was a beautiful, crisp sunny day – perfect for some great photos and a lovely walk. We drove to Loch Lomond, Loch Long and Loch Fyne … Continue reading
Glaswegian Skyline
I absolutely adore London, as some of you may know, but it’s also great to escape and explore another great city. Last weekend I had the pleasure of exploring Glasgow, which I haven’t visited since I was about 6 years old, and it was much more memorable this time around! With so much to see, do, … Continue reading
Be a Tourist for a Day
Really, you should all try it, no matter where you live. As I’ve said before – we all take where we live for granted, and when you live in London, like I do, that’s a sad, sad thing. So last week, after visiting the Roy Lichtenstein exhibition at the Tate modern, I took a leisurely … Continue reading
