Beautiful Switzerland and the Lauterbrunnen valley!
I left this morning from Heathrow with Swiss Air to Zurich, then a few trains later and we have this stunning landscape, so worth it!
I am on a trip organised by the Swiss tourist board of the Jungfrau region. I came here a while ago when I was 11yrs and have been wanting to return, so this is such a fabulous opportunity and I’m very grateful to have been given a place. We are staying in the car free village of Wengan. It’s easy to walk around and very chilled.
Tomorrow we head up on the cable car to Mannlichen, for some epic views!!! Very excited 😊 🇨🇭

Beautiful Ha Long Bay in Vietnam is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that covers some 150,000 hectares. It is located on the Gulf of Tonkin in the north eastern province of Quang Ninh, Vietnam. The bay which has 1,600 islands is well known for its emerald waters and towering limestone islands topped by rainforests. Overnight Junk boat tours and sea kayak expeditions take visitors past islands named for their shapes, including Stone Dog and Teapot islets. The region is popular for scuba diving, rock climbing and hiking, particularly in mountainous Cát Bà National Park. Certainly Ha Long Bay should be on every Vietnam itinerary, if this destination interests you please get in contact!
