Dining Santorini style! ..if only this was my view this evening!

15/06/2024

Short but very sweet visit to Santorini to end an epic week with G Adventures

I won't lie- the hike was hard! Not the route at all but the heat was stifling! The views were pretty special though and the dinner at the end was epic...as was the large glass of Mythos!

13/06/2024

Hike with a view!
What a way to see Santorini!

12/06/2024

Current view!
Stunning beaches here in Naxos!

11/06/2024

11/06/2024

We have arrived in Naxos!
Stunning views and about to tuck into a delicious seafood dinner!

11/06/2024

Tinos town is beautiful but you MUST get out and explore the island! Yesterday's island tour totally sold this destination for me- authentic Greek villages where marble craft and basket weaving are industries kept alive by the locals... Fascinating to watch and everything is just soooo pretty!
Followed by gyros watching the sunset (unfortunately a bit hazy but still lush)

Off to Naxos today- a short 2 hour ferry!

G Adventures

Beautiful Mykonos!

Touring with G Adventures includes so much free time and today, I loved mooching around the cobbled streets!

As rooftop bars go, this one is a beaut!
Recommend a Kozani!

07/06/2024

Up at the crack of dawn for our early morning flight to Athens!

So excited to see the Acropolis and start our island hopping adventure!

05/06/2024

This evening I will be mainly packing my case for my island hopping adventure with G Adventures!
I have a tendency to panic and overpack but will try very hard to keep it in control! Ha!

Tell me- do you have a packing hack? What is the 1 thing (apart from pants etc) that you simply cannot travel without?

04/06/2024

With the weather outside still feeling a tad Autumnal… I don’t feel quite so bad posting a winter break! Ha!

FAMOUS FILM LOCATIONS IN NEW ZEALAND 📽️
Peter Jackson's unprecedented success with the Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit trilogies has firmly put New Zealand on the map as a top film location, making this stunning country an ideal holiday destination for film buffs.
All over New Zealand you'll find places where these movies were filmed. Here I’ve compiled a list of the best ones that were created in stunning New Zealand:

Lord of the Rings - The Triology (2001 - 2003): It's a no brainer to have this series on the list. These films have sparked a sub-industry in New Zealand tourism, offering tours to stunning film locations. 🧙‍♂️

The Hobbit Trilogy (2012 - 2014): You can't mention Lord of the Rings without including The Hobbit. Filmed across New Zealand, many scenes were shot in the Otago region. 🧝

Wolverine (2009): Filmed in Otago, South Island, and starring the handsome Hugh Jackman, the stunning scenery might overshadow Jackman's physique—but that's a great reason to rewatch it. 😉

The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe - The Chronicles of Narnia (2005): While the film doesn't match the book's quality, its stunning cinematography and scenery, captured in locations like Flock Hill in Canterbury, Purakaunui Bay in Otago, and Auckland City, elevate it. 🦁

Prince Caspian - The Chronicles of Narnia (2008): If you've visited the breathtaking Cathedral Cove (and if not, why miss it?), you'll recognize it from the film. The arch was chosen for its resemblance to the tunnel the kids enter before returning to Narnia. 👸

The Last Samurai (2003): Who'd have thought you might run into Tom Cruise in Taranaki? Mount Taranaki doubled as Mount Fuji in the movie, with the Japanese village built in Uruti Valley. Taranaki, though off the usual backpacker route, is worth a visit. 🗻

The World's Fastest Indian (2005): Three amazing elements come together: the true story of New Zealander Burt Munro from Invercargill, featuring Anthony Hopkins, and all set against the stunning black sand shores of Muriwai Beach, just 42km from Auckland City. 🏎️

Mission Impossible 6: Fallout (2018): Tom Cruise returned to New Zealand for filming this mission impossible film. Alongside Simon Pegg, Henry Cavill, and others, he savoured the stunning NZ landscapes. Sets were built in Nevis Valley, and filming occurred in Rees Valley and Cromwell. 🪂

While traveling around New Zealand, keep an eye out—you might find yourself on the set of your favourite films.

Did you know that today is Africa day!
Seems like a great opportunity to tell you a bit about my own holiday this year! ...hopefully you can guess from the photos but we are off to South Africa!

We are very lucky to have family over in this stunning destination and for the first time since covid, we are heading back!
Louie had visited a few times pre-pandemic and has a list as long as his arm of what he would like to do but this will be Sophia's first time since she was a baby and she is super excited!

We are hoping to see lots of game on our safari trips- the Big 5 would be amazing! I have yet to see leopard or cheetah so fingers crossed! .. Sophia wants to see a chameleon!?!? Honestly of all the animals!

Which animal would you love to spot on safari?
