The road from Luang Prabang to Vang Vieng was windy and mountainous. Our little shuttle bus was hurled around sharp corners and over bumpy bits of road. We slowly climbed higher and higher up and into the mountains, and soon were surrounded by impenetrable fog. The gravel road ahead had disappeared and luckily our driver … Continue reading
We are now in Australia! It’s been a while since I’ve written a post about anywhere that’s not in New Zealand, but after a brilliant 8 months it was time to move on to somewhere new. We are part way through a trip down the East Coast of Australia, which began in the sunny Queensland … Continue reading
After a bit of a grim time on the West Coast, we were all relieved to arrive on the sunny north coast of the South Island to stay for a few days by the Abel Tasman National Park and Golden Bay. We were yearning for a bit of sunshine and to see some blue skies … Continue reading
After Invercargill, we headed back up to the tourist hotspot of Queenstown. We had already visited when we were with Clare and Tim, the night before and after the Routeburn. This was a nice opportunity to visit again for a little longer, and see why it gets all the hype it does. A stones thrown … Continue reading
Our first stop on our tour of the South Island was Kaikoura. Our ferry crossing was fairly calm, and the views of the Marlborough Sounds were spectacular, even though it was a bit of a cloudy day. We were on the way down to Christchurch, which is where we were meeting Clare, Toby’s mum, and … Continue reading
We reluctantly left the beach town of Raglan and headed north east to the Bay of Plenty and the town of Tauranga. We fancied a few more days by the sea (which isn’t difficult in New Zealand, where you’re never more than about 120km from the ocean), and were looking forward to our next stop. … Continue reading
We left La Paz for a couple of days to visit the small town of Coroico, three hours away in the Yungas region of Bolivia. Many people know Coroico as the town you arrive at after cycling along the ‘World’s Most Dangerous Road’, but unfortunately most tours require you to turn back around again and … Continue reading
On our way back from Montevideo to Colonia del Sacramento we stopped off and spent a few days on an estancia, a horse farm in the middle of the countryside, called El Galope. We stayed with Miguel and Monica who introduced us to rural Uruguayan life. We stayed in a converted stable, with views out … Continue reading
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
