Here is a link to our recipe book – Recipes from the Road. It is a linked PDF and we hope to update it every now and again. We have been lucky enough to spend most of our twenties living and travelling all over the globe and, of course, eating our way from continent to…

One of the most fantastic places to visit in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa is the seaside town of St Lucia. It is only 3 hours north of Durban and has to be one of the most incredibly located towns. St Lucia sits right in the middle of a national park (iSimangaliso Wetland Park) so you get…

Our visit to Breda was fantastic, and I highly recommend it if you are looking at going somewhere in The Netherlands where tourists do not usually flock. Our friend, Kristel, lives there so it provided us with the perfect excuse to visit a place we had never heard of. We stayed with our friends but…

As I’ve previously mentioned on this blog, taking the Eurostar train from London into Europe is the best way to travel. It’s low stress, easy and you can take lots of delicious snacks (including wine!). It can sometimes be a bit pricey, but if you book in advance then prices are pretty good. Plus once…

Oktoberfest in Munich – the beer fuelled ‘right of passage’ for any traveller through Europe. We decided to join the hordes that descend on Munich for late September / early October to celebrate this important part of Bavarian culture. We donned our dirndls and lederhosen and had a blast. I highly recommend booking your accommodation…

The Bordeaux region in France conjures images of bold reds, castle like chateaus and rolling hills. I must say that I did not quite imagine that my fantasy would equal the reality, however it really did. The Bordeaux region is truly beautiful, filled with medieval towns and vineyards everywhere you look. We flew into the…

Prague is a beautiful place to visit but boy is it packed. We visited at the end of September hoping it would be quieter (and I’m sure it was) but it is still very busy. The best advice I have is to avoid the main touristy areas at peak tourist times i.e. from mid morning…

The Scottish Isles have always beckoned to me – I love the idea of being shut into a cosy cabin, with a fire blazing, while the waves crash and the wind howls outside. However, both fortunately and unfortunately, the weather was great.  I’m talking full sunshine and glass like water.  Not a howl nor crash…

If you are looking for a picturesque seaside Scottish town then look no further than at Oban. It’s the kind of place that you can explore in a day and it is completely walkable. After our arrival we cracked right into the sightseeing with a stroll, past the war memorial, to the Dunollie Museum, Castle…
