I got out of the airport around 12:30pm, happily greeted my boyfriend I hadn’t seen in 3 months, then we were off. We didn’t have much time: we had to be up Grouse Mountain and ziplining by 4pm. Perhaps it was a tad silly – or, plain stupid – to organise something so soon after … Continue reading
It was brimming with midges. Everywhere, these massive insects would be invading me, with no sense of personal space. I won’t say I didn’t mind. I did. With mosquitos, they love me, all over the world. I had no reason to suspect midges would think any differently, and I was already stinking with bug repellent … Continue reading
Norway’s been a popular one for quite a while now. Probably a little something to do with it being exceptionally beautiful. It’s a place where ominous mountains and fjords meet cute towns and villages to make one frankly irresistable and dreamy destination. As you’ll see from the pictures, the mirror-like reflections and low-hung clouds amazed … Continue reading
It’s less than one month until my west coast Canada/USA trip. Not that I’m counting or anything. I threw a lot of possibilities out there in my previous post when I announced the trip, but things are coming together now and I wanted to let you in on what I’ll be getting up to… Days … Continue reading
In my life, I can’t say I ever consciously wished to see an iceberg or even really considered it as a thing to do. But as I looked at them right beside me in the waters of Greenland, it struck me (perhaps a bit slow on the uptake) how I had never physically seen one … Continue reading
In my recent excitement about going to Iceland in December – where it will undoubtedly be dark, snowy and cold (but you know… in a fun way) – I decided it was time to dig out the photos of when I last went to Iceland. It was in the summer of 2008 – a while … Continue reading
Um… so, Blog Hop. It’s nothing to do with hip hop or the Sugar Hill Gang (sorry – for the irrelevance and the dismal word exchange), but it does have to do with is that good ol’ blogosphere. The idea is to answer questions on your writing habits and in the process get to know … Continue reading
I have a travel announcement (that my headline sort of gives away)! In December, I’m going to Iceland. Yes, I realise that December is 5 months away – but I’ve decided that doesn’t mean I should stop feeling excited. It’s an incredibly unique coutry, and I can’t blimmin’ wait. I’ve been to Iceland before – … Continue reading
I’ve recently had the fortune and stroke of luck to have been nominated for 2 blogging awards: Liebster (twice!!) and Versatile Blogger. (YAY!) I’ve heard about Liebster Awards for a while and now, thanks to the lovely Ayla of Mrs Ayla’s Adventures AND Hayley of Rare Birds Fly, I’ve been nominated! Thank you :) I’ve … Continue reading
Did you know… the London Eye’s pods/capsules each represent a London borough. Do you know how many boroughs there are? 32. Did you know… Cleopatra’s Needle has two Sphinx on either side to guard it… but they’re facing toward the needle, which is the wrong way. A Sphinx is meant to face away (makes sense, … Continue reading
