I don’t know if I’ve ever been anywhere so full of aesthetically pleasing patterns and textures. I’m a sucker for a good wall tile, and Porto has plenty. The views were memorable too. I walked, ate, walked, ate and drank … as per normal travel routine. Though this time port was the drink of choice because… well Porto. Yep that’s where it comes from. Walk: … Continue reading Patterns of Porto
I love Bruges!!! Seriously. If ever there were a little gingerbread town to fall in love with, this is it! Sweet delicious waffles, museums dedicated to fries and even a vile of Christ’s blood, all within pleasurable walking distance. A place where there is a chocolate shop on every corner and more beers than you have hairs on your head. Bruges is just so darn … Continue reading Bruges

Both very tempting. Continue reading Bordeaux

Whether you explore the town, walk around or pop over to the next country (Monaco), Nice is a worthwhile stop. Continue reading Nice IS Nice
Well everyone else seemed to be living large, we were melting away. By the time we got to Lake Como it was heating up with temperatures in the high 30s. So we were really left with no choice but to eat gelato then retreat to the air conditioning when it all became too much. But there were times when when we braved the heat. Early … Continue reading Livin’ Large in Lake Como
Blue: Water, lagoons, geysers, buildings, whales. Green: Mountains, Waterfalls, Moss, Forrest Continue reading Monochrome Iceland: Blue and Green
Ok, so I’m a bit of a self confessed people watcher… but with people this interesting, how could I resist? Helmet guy: He was on the side of the street and had obviously just got off his Vespa. The pink sparkly helmet was still on his head with his mobile phone wedged between the helmet and his ear. Arms were flailing as he was in deep … Continue reading Some of my favourite strangers
Welcome to Planet Iceland. A place of many colours, formations and smells. It’s a place like no other. You can drive through many vastly different landscapes in a couple of hours. Whether it be the wild west, the pyramids of Egypt, the Amazonian jungle, the Swiss Alps or even the Australian Coast. But despite the diversity, Iceland seems to do each thing better as well … Continue reading Planet Iceland
