Long time no post!

Hi guys! We’re finally coming back! We’ve had a super busy couple of months but we’re in a place to bring back tripadviseher!

So, we have a few things to catch you up on. Last time we posted, we’d just got engaged in Krakow over our New Years trip. 💍

Then we took a trip to Prague 🇨🇿 , Bilbao and Vitoria Gasteiz!

THEN WE ONLY WENT AND BOUGHT OUR FIRST HOUSE! 🏠

And a week after moving in, headed to Santiago De Compostela 🇪🇸

And now, it brings us to present day. And we’re taking a 10 day tour around Sardinia 🇮🇹

Let us know what you’ve been up to and if you have any recommendations for Sardinia!

Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone in Ukraine right now 🇺🇦

It’s absolutely heartbreaking hearing the news come in. 💔

25/01/2022

No more day two testing for UK travellers who are fully vaxxed from Feb!

This really could be the start of travel getting back to normal! ✈️

We also managed to book those flights yesterday to Santiago de Compostela so we beat some of the price hikes, just!

Anyone else super excited by this news?!

21/01/2022

Anyone else completely bored of this month. I know they say January feels like the longest month, but crikey, this week feels like it’s been 3 years long!

We’re already planning our trips for the year! We have Prague, Bilbao and Sardinia booked so far and we’re planning on a few more places if we can find some good deals! 💰

What are your travel plans for 2022? ✈️ 🚂 🚤 give us all the inspiration for our trips!

On New Years Eve in Krakow they have a run around the centre. So many people dress up and get involved and even from the sidelines, it’s great to watch.

There were some very creative fancy dress outfits but our personal favourite were definitely COVID and it’s pal the vaccine 💉

🤣🤣

Have you ever been to a football match where the ref takes his shirt off part way through and swaps with one of the players?!

🥅 ⚽️

Yes, you heard that right! That’s what happened along with so many other crazy things on a match between Cracovia and Cracovia 2 on New Years Day in Krakow.

It’s a traditional friendly match that’s free to those who go and honestly it’s the best match we’ve been to.

None stop laughs and entertainment and let’s not forget THE GOALS! There were so many!

Have any of you been to one of these games before? If not and you’re visiting Krakow over New Year, it’s a definite must do!

17/01/2022

Yesterday we headed out on a local walk along the river and to the coast and took the drone with us.

We’re loving trying out a bit more since we’ve had a few nice days recently.

We hope you had a lovely weekend! But now it’s a fresh new week!

We’ve also just booked Prague for March 🇨🇿 so any recommendations that you can think of, comment down below! ⬇️

How stunning is the church in Podgorze in Krakow?! 😍

We walked down to this church the morning after Michael proposed and it was so magical looking with the snow ⛄️

It was super cold but it definitely adds to it! 🥶

We did try and get some more footage but the signal on the drone kept dipping out and then the birds 🦅 wouldn’t leave it alone! 😂

We’ll get better with the footage soon! Just need some more practise when it isn’t horrible weather in the UK!

Tarnow 🇵🇱

Since we’ve visited Krakow so many times, what better to do than hop on a train to a nearby town/city.

This time we picked Tarnow, located around an hour from Krakow. 🚂

It was super cheap to get to and so so quiet around the main market square! We couldn’t believe it! Michael managed to get his drone up and around the square with literally no one there at one point!

We managed to squeeze in a few pints and a spot of lunch and in incredible place called

Michael had a smoothie bowl and I had the penne arrabbiata! Both were delicious and washed down with a pink latte!! 💖

Before heading back to the train station we had a quick stop off in the little pub in the final photo which was basically an igloo! Full of locals who hadn’t seen English in quite a while but very funny!

Overall a great little day trip! Have you ever visited Tarnow?

06/01/2022

Has anyone visited Hala Forum in Krakow?

If you haven’t, you’re missing out!

Located around a 10 minute walk from Wawel Castle, just across the bridge, you’ll find the Forum located in an old Soviet system building right next to the static hot air balloon (I’ll talk about that tomorrow)

The forum has been done out to include bars and a food hall! It also has a room that can transform in to a nightclub!

It has everything you need in the one building and the krakow sign and wheel are just outside!

I wish I’d taken more photos of inside but it is an amazing find.

In the summer they even have deck chairs located outside with some outside bars too! Perfect for summer and winter!

Let us know if you’ve ever visited or if you have added the Forum to your list!

We had some incredible food during our trip to Krakow over New Year.

Our favourites were definitely where we ended up going back to twice! The food is to die for and the service is amazing! If you’re ever in Krakow you MUST MUST MUST visit here!

Second was Ribs on Fire, a firm favourite. Our friends ended up ordering the two racks of ribs and struggled as there was soooo much food! So obviously Michael gave them a helping hand 🤚

And finally a new and firm favourite is . Unbelievable poke bowls and noodles and THE BEST CAPPUCCINO I think we’ve ever had. Absolutely delicious and we also went back twice here too!

So if you’re ever visiting Krakow, don’t miss out on these three. You won’t be disappointed! 🥘

Happy New Year! 🥳

Sorry for the radio silence recently, the world just got on top of us, but new year new start!

We spent from 26th December until 2nd January in Krakow (our fave place) and ended up celebrating our ENGAGEMENT! Can you believe it?! 💍 ❤️ I’m still on cloud 9!

We then celebrated new year with our friends who also came out to Krakow to surprise us and celebrate too!

What a whirlwind of a trip! ❤️

To get back in to the swing of posting again, this week I’ll be sharing what we got up to in Krakow on this trip!

Have you got any holidays booked so far for this year?? Let me know below!

Merry Christmas Eve everyone!

I know we’ve been a bit MIA recently but we’ll be changing that soon!

Hopefully we’ll be away on Boxing Day and we’ll have posts each day from Krakow into the New Year.

2022 is going to be a fresh start and a new chapter!

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas from our houses to yours 🏠

Ninh Binh 🇻🇳

We might not have had the best weather when we visited, but it was still beautiful!

One of the first stops of the trip was to hike to the top of Mua Caves. It was a steep 500 steps up, but 100% worth the climb just for the views!

Another part of the trip was taking a boat where a local paddled the boat with their feet! Nope, we’re not joking!?

We couldn’t recommend visiting Ninh Binh enough! Have you ever visited?

Whilst I’m recovering at home, what a better thing to do than to reminisce about our past incredible trips!

Back in February 2020, we were lucky enough to go on an incredible trip around Vietnam. 🇻🇳

It’s also the place that spurred on starting this venture with

We started our journey in Hanoi and visited one of the most iconic places which is the train line to get some photos. We sat and drank coconut coffee 🥥☕️ at the side of the tracks and waited for the train to come.

It was an amazing experience and definitely one to remember. The cafes are literally inches from the train! 🚂

Have you ever visited Train Street in Hanoi?

Emma here! 👋

I’ve been confirmed with Covid so now it’s just a case of resting up whilst Michael goes about his business and even jets away with the lads 😂 luckily my symptoms aren’t bad at all, apart from the loss of taste and smell, it’s so frustrating! 😠

I’m just reminiscing on our summer trip to Rhodes and craving the warm sun on my skin. 🇬🇷

I’m normally such a winter fan but being stuck inside and not being able to wear my winter coats or boots makes me crave sunshine again.

Are you more of a summer or winter person? I’d definitely say I’m winter through and through ❄️

26/11/2021

Unfortunately the beach is off the cards this weekend as Emma has just tested positive for COVID. Just waiting for the PCR test to confirm.

Can we please just skip to 2022 please?!

Please tell me all of your lovely weekend plans so I can imagine leaving the house 😂

24/11/2021

What a terrible few weeks 😫

Apologies for the radio silence on here. Unfortunately we had a lot of things going on and we just had to take a step back to sort everything out.

On bonfire night Emma’s car was set on fire in an arson attack and we’ve been coming to terms with it since.

Due to the fear of anything happening again too, Emma had managed to move house within a week! So you can just imagine the stress of that too!

Things are finally on the up now and we’re trying to get back in to the swing of everything.

We’re going to start working on some new Christmas Market destinations blogs that we’re hoping to get up ASAP so keep your eyes peeled 👀.

Filerimos Monastery 🇬🇷

After a google search we found this Monastery “wasn’t too far 🙄” from our hotel and decided to walk. After what we thought we would 45 minutes to the top, 2.5 hours later, we finally got there! 🥾

Once you get to the top there are ostriches everywhere, literally everywhere! They’re by the big cross on the hill and actually in the monastery. It’s surreal! From the Filerimos Cross you get some of the best views of the island and on a clear day you can even see over to Turkey. You also get a fantastic view of planes coming into land at the nearby airport

Although the walk was tough, the views were worth it. It wasn’t, however, worth the €6 for the actual monastery so we would recommend skipping this!

Have you ever been? 👀

03/11/2021

Tsambika Monastery 🇬🇷

Whilst in Rhodes we decided to hire a car 🚗 it was €40 for the full day with unlimited miles.

One of the first stops we made was to Tsambika Monastery. We parked what we thought was part way up, but it wasn’t. However, the roads were super tight and basically over hanging the cliff edge so in a way, I’m glad we parked all the way at the bottom. This meant we had about an hour hike to the top in 32 degree heat🥾 🚶‍♀️ 🥵

Was it worth it?

10000%

The views from the top were incredible and the monastery was so dainty. If you’re after some views, you’ve picked the right place to visit.

If you swipe through the photos you’ll see where the monastery is located, right at the top of the mountain and that’s where you have to climb to 😂

If you’re in Rhodes, we couldn’t recommend enough.

Have you ever visited Tsambika Monastery? ⛪️

Rhodes Town 🇬🇷

We were staying around a 20 minute bus ride from Rhodes Town and decided we’d head over for a few hours on one day. 🚌

We explored the ruins, which are free to visit! 💰 they were amazing and we managed to get some great drone footage! 🎥

Then we explored around the old part of town and the little market stalls.

100% we would recommend visiting Rhodes, even if it’s just for a few hours like we did.

Check out what else we got up to over at our blog! 👀

Can you believe it’s the 1st November? Where has this year gone?!

If you’re after some package holiday inspiration for 2022, then look no further.

Rhodes 🇬🇷

Now we haven’t done a package holiday since 2014, but when a cracking deal came up for Rhodes in September this year, we couldn’t resist.

We stayed at the Atlantica Princess hotel. 🏨

Keep your eyes peeled for our posts this week about what you can get up to in Rhodes 👀

🎃 Happy Halloween 🎃

Fred and Velma.

And a sneak appearance from Scrappy Doo 🐶

My outfit was obviously planned but I think I’ve done quite well with Michael’s since he only told me today he hadn’t got anything sorted 🙄

Did you do anything for Halloween?

New York, New York 🎵

Here’s just a little snippet of our helicopter ride over New York! 🇺🇸

Ice skating in Central Park ⛸

Something Emma was desperate to do in winter in New York 🇺🇸 and also something Michael was not looking forward to as he’s like Bambi on ice 😂

But seriously, this was amazing to do and it felt so wintery. It was the perfect place to go ice skating.

Have you ever been ice skating in Central Park? Share your experience below! 👇🏼

25/10/2021

Empire State Building and Rockefeller Centre 🇺🇸

Some of the best views in NYC!

You can’t go to NYC and not go to the top of at least one of these. Our personal favourite would be the Empire State!

Have you ever visited? What did you think? 👀

Quick interlude to say it’s Michael’s birthday today! 🥳
