Ages ago, when we were planning our trip, we turned to ‘Off the Tourist Trail‘ which offered plenty of eye candy for beautiful world places that aren’t necessarily all that well-known. One of the first places we earmarked because of that book were the Lycian Tombs near Dalyan. Dalyan seemed like a sensible stop on…
I still can’t believe we’re in Turkey! It was so nice to spend a week in Istanbul, especially after hopping around recently. Slow travel is now our mantra and when we pick things up a bit, we tend to get a little lathered up. But then again…it was entirely cloudless and unrelentingly hot in Istanbul.…
We did a poor job of planning our timing and would have just one night in Sofia Bulgaria before having to rush on to Istanbul where we had an apartment booked. Thus, we wanted to make the most of our limited time. Two things threatened our enjoyment of the city. The first was the WORST…
Whenever I sit down to write a blog post, I inevitably start with something along the lines of ‘I never thought I’d be in xyz…’. After a while I am sure it gets a little boring. And I should be smacked out of that mindset by now having been travelling for seven months. But we…
Here’s what we got up to on the East side of the Danube! Interactive Freedom Square Fountain – We read about this fountain being interactive, and honestly you could spend hours trying to catch the water before it goes away without hitting you.

Budapest is the capital of Hungary and a city very easy to fall in love with. The name comes from melding two former cities, Buda and Pest, which were united in 1873. Buda is on the west side of the Danube River, and what we’ll be focusing on in this post. (note: I can’t say…
We had spent three weeks (!!) in Paris and had a grand old time. We hadn’t made any plans after Paris because we weren’t sure how easy or difficult the process of getting an India visa would be. Luckily we won the visa lottery and had our passports returned to us in just seven days.…
It feels like we have done an endless amount of posts on Paris, but here’s another photo-heavy one (we can’t help it – we love that city so much and we were there for three weeks!). This will be the last one for a while – I promise!
We’ve been in Paris for a week and a half, and we’ve got another ten days to go. Our travel style, with the amount of time, has been relaxed, but we’ve still done sight seeing and drinking in this wonderful city. What is it that we love so much about Paris, a city that drew…
After collecting travel points for ages without ever making a redemption, we were happy to find out that we could fly from Buenos Aires to Paris! The only caveat was that for non-return ticket airfare we HAD to make a stop in either Canada or the States. We hemmed and hawed, wondering if we should…
