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

Paragliding in Mayrhofen
In December 2013 we were skiing in Mayrhofen when Rob told me he had organised a birthday surprise for me. I had absolutely no idea what it could be until we skiied up to a “Stocky paragliding” sign. I’d never done it before so was very excited. We took off near the Pilz bar (at

Walking around Barcelona: La Rambla and la boqueria
