Our Journey through Jordan- Feb Half term 2024

Jordan has been high on our bucket list for a long long time. We’d looked at different ways of getting there, including a cruise (before Covid P&O had an interesting itinitery but this has now gone), and escorted group tour which was pricey. In the end, it was a chance post on Facebook that started […]

Southern India

We have been heartbroken since the day we left India in 2017. It’s a country that we fell in love with immediately- the colour, the chaos, the food… everything about it! Ever since we left, we knew we’d return and this year we finally managed to do this. We booked onto the Great Rail Journeys […]

24 Hours in Dubai

Dubai is a funny destination which seems to split travellers like marmite; some love it, some hate it. The only reason we wanted to go was because ever since we went up the Shanghai tower, the second tallest building in the world, we wanted to go up the tallest building – of course, THE BURJ […]

Nebraska, USA

Our last few days in the USA were spent road tripping through Nebraska – which was a hidden gem in our opinion. We didn’t really hold any expection of Nebraska, we were just going to have a night to break our journey back to the airport. However, we ended up enjoying it so much, that […]

South Dakota, USA

From Devils Tower, we made our way into South Dakota, our first stop was Lead on the outskirts of Deadwood. As we drove to Lead, we passed through the Black Hills of South Dakota and stopped for famous Indian tacos at Cheyenne Crossing. As we’ve been covering some large distances to get to this point, […]

Idaho, Wyoming and Montana, USA

You’ll have to excuse the next chapter of our trip- our trip was huge and I felt the best way to present it was to do 1 state for each blog post. However Idaho, Wyoming and Montana are just too intertwined and difficult to seperate, so this next chapter is a bumper edition. My best […]

South Colorado, USA

After 4 years of planning, plotting, saving and tweaking. We are THRILLED to have touched down in Denver, Colorado. Our BA flight was smooth and once we’d retrieved our luggage, we caught a free shuttle bus to our airport hotel, the Microtel Denver. It was cheap and cheerful, but clean, and had a diner just […]

Adventures in Zimbabwe.

Our final destination, Zimbabwe, and specifically Victoria Falls. A huge bucket list tick was about to happen. We travelled the short journey to Victoria falls by coach and before getting to our hotel we were taken to a local viewpoint and restaurant. We looked at the menu and decided as a group to eat there […]

Adventures in Botswana

Leaving Pretoria, we flew from Johannesburg to Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe, then took a coach transfer a short distance into Botswana, Kasane region near to Chobe National Park. The border crossing was amusing as we had to take all our shoes out of our cases and put them in a tray if (muddy) water. We […]
