Nearing the end of our seven month adventure, it was time to embark on a three week road trip around England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland. Our itinerary was blank so we relied on a lot of tips from the people we came across during our travels who hailed from the UK. Our first stop was…

The Northern Lights may have evaded us, but our week in Iceland – often called ‘the land of fire and ice’ – nonetheless produced some of the most spectacular landscapes of our trip to date. After arriving in the capital Reykjavík, picking up our shitbox hire car and checking into our Airbnb apartment, we planned…

Not wanting to leave out the Scandinavian region, our next stop was Stockholm otherwise know as “the Venice of the north.” Made up of 14 islands, we were ‘t too sure what to expect from the country that brought us ABBA, H&M, meatballs and IKEA, but one thing was for sure, Sweden was by far…

Any country famous for its delicious cheese, tasty chocolate and stunning Alps is a must visit and our six days in Switzerland lived up to the hype. Arriving in Zurich by train, we picked up a hire car and drove straight to Lucerne. We spent the first afternoon looking around the Lake and stocking up…

While we didn’t ‘Climb Every Mountain’ our 10 days in Austria gave us a good taste for Viennese food, culture and beautiful countryside. Our first stop was Vienna, the capital of Austria and a beautiful city on the Danube River. A walking tour took us through some interesting parts of the city, including Mozart’s former…

We’d wanted to visit this part of Europe for quite some time and our week in Budapest, Hungary and Kraków, Poland delivered a very different experience from the more populated Western Europe destinations. Sitting either side of the Danube River, Budapest was our first stop and the start of our short trip through Eastern Europe.…

Ancient ruins, whitewashed buildings and beautiful beaches – our 12 days across Greece gave us a good dose of Greek culture, history and natural beauty. Our first stop was the capital of Athens – a city where Gods once ruled and whose lands bore such historical figures like Socrates, Plato, Aristotle and Alexander the Great.…

A country of beautiful islands, mountains and crystal blue waters, Croatia has become a bucket list destination for many travellers since the rise of the popular Sail Croatia holiday cruises. During our seven months around the world, we were excited to tick this country off our bucket list. Before embarking on a seven night Sail…

From Royalty to Rock n Roll, our short stopover in London was about enjoying the best of what England’s capital offered. We visited London two years earlier (almost to the day) and spent that time packing in as much as possible, from Westminster Abbey to Notting Hill, a Harry Potter Studio Tour and London Tower,…

With a few weeks until our next big party (Sail Croatia), it was time to travel north through some key European cities – Barcelona, Paris, Brussels and Bruges. Barcelona was our final destination in Spain and after visiting several of its smaller cities, we were keen to see how its biggest tourist draw stacked up.…
