Our first time skiing in Mayrhofen was back in December 2013 – Rob’s first skiing holiday! We loved it so much we returned for Easter 2016 with our friends Joba and Charlotte. Our journey to the mountains- making travelling cheaper! Ski trips are SO expensive in the school holidays and therefore we are always looking

Five days in New York Itinerary
New York is a city brimming with things to do and places to see. We were keen to make the most of our 5 days so started by labeling a few of our “must-sees” on a map. This helped us have a better idea of where everything was located and which places we should plan

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

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
Getting a good view of Barcelona!
Today we visited three places that all had great views of the city; Tibidabo mountain, Park Guell and Montjuic castle. We used the metro to get as close as possible to each location but some stops didn’t get us very close, so lots of walking too! Our first stop was Tibidabo mountain. We went to
Barcelona bus tour
We started our second day by meeting up with Rob’s family! They were on a cruise and happened to be stopping at Barcelona for the day. We met them down by the harbour and his Grandma was so surprised! We decided the best way for them to see the city was to take the bus
