For our last few days in France, we booked a place near Disney Paris. While in Tokyo, we went to Disney Sea, but this was our first time in the original Disneyland. Z and I planned the day, and after arriving on the train, we split up and, respectively, went to rides Autopia and Big… Read More Disney Paris (by Z)
We got Wise cards for our travels as it offers some of the best rates when you’re overseas. What we didn’t know about was the cute animations it (sometimes) does when you pay on your phone. I haven’t figured out why it does them some times and not others – it’s a bit of a… Read More Animations
France does bread and cheese so well (insert chef’s kiss x 100 here) and we did our best to try as much as we could. (Doing our Australian heritage proud I tell you!) There is just sooo much choice, even in the supermarket. A common lunch for us was a baguette (or two) and some… Read More French delicacies
Over the past three months we have been traveling through the UK and Europe and have been lucky enough to spend a lot of time with old friends. One of the great things about this is that we get to eat really well: local specialties, amazing home cooked meals and a selection of fabulous drinks… Read More Feasts with Friends
We had two nights in the picturesque town of Gruyères, Switzerland and we ate very well! Definitely two nights is enough with so much fondue, not to mention it’s a bit more expensive as well 😬 There isn’t a lot of choices when it comes to accommodation here so we stayed in a hotel which… Read More Mmm… (swiss) cheese
One of the main questions that we get is “Where have you been?”, quickly followed by “Where are you going next?”. It’s not hard to answer but it is seemingly illogical as we are often doubling back on ourselves. We plan to create a video with a map of where we’ve been and it would… Read More Logical… NOT
I’m so lucky for so many reasons. Obviously being able to take this trip at all is amazing. (Not just financially but health-wise, with kids’ schooling and everything else in life that has had to basically be put on hold for nine months!) A couple of days ago, I just attended an Asian dance class… Read More Auld Lang Syne 🎶
In Italy, we decided to try something different and go to the river overlooking Mount Blanc for a day trip. There, you can go whitewater rafting, and since it was a warm day, the water would hopefully not be as freezing. While there was a longer session for adults, we decided to stick together and… Read More Whitewater Rafting (by Z)
Puy du Fou: It’s a theme park with a difference – mainly that difference being that there are no rides. Possibly you’ve now just stopped reading but hopefully you are as intrigued as I was! Instead of rides it has shows, including some interactive walk through ones, all of which are have historical significance. It… Read More Pwee doo Foo
We went to a chocolate factory, which is popular for tourism in that part of Switzerland. First they showed us the history of the chocolate and then the process of making the chocolate, using a device that you held to your ear that tells you everything about each room we went into, in many languages.… Read More Chocolate Factory (by I)
