Ski Blanc was our first catered chalet experience and it was brilliant! We stayed in Chalet Foehn; situated in Les Allures, only a 2 minute walk from the gondola to up to Meribel. Although staying in a catered chalet was a more expensive option (£429pp), we were very impressed with the quality of the food.

Ben’s Bus airport transfer
We used Ben’s bus airport transfer to travel from Grenoble airport to Meribel. It was very easy to book online and the price was reasonable. When we arrived at Grenoble airport, we easily found our guide and had a short wait before our departure. The guide directed us to the coach and it was a pretty smooth
Bali and Lombok 2014 video
We had an amazing holiday in Indonesia, working our way from Bali to the Gili islands and Lombok, before returning to Ubud in Bali. All footage is captured on a GoPro 3+; starting in Seminyak (Bali) with the release of a baby turtle and then scuba diving with more turtles around the Gili islands! We
Bali Adventure Tours: Breakfast with the elephants and white-water rafting
Elephant Safari Park and Lodge We were picked up by Bali Adventure Tours from our hotel at 06:50AM to travel to the Elephant Safari Park and Lodge. Having seen elephants in the wild on safari in South Africa, I’m not sure how I feel about these elephants being kept in captivity. However, I did feel
Diving in the Gili islands
After diving in Koh Tao I was completely in awe of the amazing corals and underwater life that Thailand had to offer, however diving around the Gili islands was on another level! Although the Lombok straight has a history of dynamite fishing, the Gili’s are working hard to restore the reef and the marine life is
Exploring Gili Air
After staying 4 days on Gili Trawangan, I couldn’t wait to get over to Gili Air and do some diving. We were dropped off at the Harbour by a “private boat” that we organised whilst staying on Gili T… didn’t realise this actually meant sharing a boat with all the locals heading over to Lombok
Exploring Gili Trawangan
We splashed out a bit for our stay at Gili Trawangan and stayed in the wonderful Ko Ko Mo resort. It was great and the restaurant was really good.. but it is worth remembering a “private pool” in Bali is normally the size of a big (and deep) Jacuzzi! The breakfast was amazing and we
Recommendations in Seminyak
Our Bali adventure started in Seminyak which is fairly close to Kuta, on the West Coast of Bali. Both destinations are now very popular tourist destinations, although Kuta has been described as similar to Benidorm whilst Seminyak has a slightly more upmarket reputation. There are LOADS of hotels to choose from in Seminyak ranging from
Seeing the sights in Dublin
Rob did a great job organising a surprise trip to Dublin… it was just a shame that his housemate let slip a few days before we went! We flew from Bristol to Dublin at the end of the Easter holidays and stayed at a Conrad hotel. Upon arrival we went for a walk around Merrion
Guinness Storehouse, Dublin
We loved our visit to the Guinness factory! It was such an interesting museum; we learnt all about the history of the drink, how it is made and of course how it is best poured!! The museum was really interactive and as well as drinking freshly made Guinness and posing on an old-school advert, we also
