Motorbikes, dogs and a lot of traveling.
Last night I toured around Bristol on a ghost walk and it was so much fun. I learned so much about the history of the places I've walked past countless of times, having no idea what secrets lie behind the walls and beneath the floors (add dramatic music here). We learned about filming locations, murders,... Continue Reading →
After years of driving on the M5, pointing and saying, "We'll go up there one day..." We finally went up there! The William Tyndale Monument can be found on a hill looking over the North of Nibbly. Standing at 111ft tall, it was built in 1866 in rememberance of William Tyndale. Mitch thinking he's hilarious,... Continue Reading →
After our stay in Brussels we were on our way to Calais. The next morning we were getting the ferry back to England and sadly completing the last leg of our trip. We had an amazing time but the next trip will definitely be longer and further! On the way to Calais, we stopped to... Continue Reading →
After leaving Amsterdam we rode to Brussels. It took us about three hours with a couple of stops along the way. Riding through the Netherlands is basically green fields, beautiful waterways, cows and the occasional windmill. It's stunning. We rode a long the motorway so I didn't really get any photos but here's one I... Continue Reading →
As we've got some time off work and having recently bought a Harley Davidson, we decided we'd ride to Amsterdam. From Bristol, it takes just over eight hours. We were going to break this up into two, but as rain was forecast all day on Wednesday, we rode all the way there. I'm glad we... Continue Reading →
Arguably the most instagram worthy place in Benidorm, the lookout is a great place to stop and get some holiday snaps. We actually visited here a few times (we were staying close by) and each time it was pretty busy, so it's clearly a very popular place! The traditional white walls and blue tiles show...

A very common misconception of the Flame of Liberty, is that it was built in memory of Princess Diana. Whilst she was more than deserving of the sculpture, the flame was actually built in 1986, eleven years before Diana's death. Symbolising enlightenment to the world, it became known as Diana's Flame.Diana's death is still one... Continue Reading →
For such a stressful morning, things actually ran perfectly smoothly. At 5:15am my sister and I took an Uber for our 6:00am coach. Other than four kids having a screaming match and being wedged in like a sardine, the couch journey was okay. That was until we got to London city and hit a huge... Continue Reading →
Let's be honest, you can't go to Bali with out visiting Ubud. A strong statement yes, but it's a justified one! One of my must-see attractions in Ubud is the Monkey Forest. The entry fee is 50,000rp and it takes around half an hour to walk around the whole forest. I like monkeys but they... Continue Reading →
This was our last stop before we got to Hanoi and completed our trip. We had booked three days here so this was our time to relax and let our bottoms rest. This trip has been incredible but my bottom will never get used to sitting on a bike for more than four hours every... Continue Reading →
A few posts back I said that Vietnam's roads aren't as bad as what I thought they were... I take it back. The roads are absolutely mental. If you look closely at the photo above, you'll see there are actually piglets in those baskets. I did get a closer image but I deleted it because... Continue Reading →
Hoi An is with out a doubt my favourite town in Vietnam. It will most likely stay my favourite town too as it's going to be a hard one to beat. We arrived in Hoi An after a terrible thunderstorm. It was like the sky was caving in. We were soaked through and feeling pretty... Continue Reading →
The further north we travel, the prettier Vietnam seems to get. We left Dalat in the rain and luckily seemed to drive out of it. Our ponchos were used for only two hours that day which is a new record. We decided to take the coastal road instead of the mountains as it seemed a bit... Continue Reading →
Our stay at the Bamboo Lodge in Đồng Nai was lovely. It was so comfortable and peaceful I didn't want to leave. After a big cup of the best coffee in world and a cuddle from the kitten, we were heading off to Dalat.The mountain roads of Vietnam are so picturesque I couldn't quite believe... Continue Reading →
I may take this back this back at some point... but Vietnam is not as terrifying as what I thought it would be. After watching Top Gear in Vietnam I was a little skeptic about the trip. Of course the roads here are absolutely wild, but I can honestly say that they are no where... Continue Reading →
