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)
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!)

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.

We even managed to catch up with a Canadian friend who happened to be passing through – great timing! We had met her in South America in 2008 and N met… Read More Paris exploration
From the moment we arrived in Paris, we saw bakeries (boulangeries) everywhere. On almost every street, there’s a shop with pastries and bread to takeaway for breakfast, or a snack. Throughout our time in the city, these places became a go-to stock for reliably good (& quick) food, most notably bread to eat by itself… Read More Parisian Food (by Z)
Our Airbnb in Paris was outside the central area, in north eastern suburb of Romainville. We randomly heard about a twice weekly local market a short walk from our accommodation and left the kids to go and check it out. As you might imagine there was a lot of cheese and we had some trouble… Read More Local Market in Paris
