Iceland: flowers.
Iceland is a country on a big scale, for such a small island. The largest glacier in Europe is here, the mountains seem huge, the valleys and plains you drive across seem endless and the view goes on...

Jökulsárlón – the glacier lake.
A shot from our Winter catalogue… I don’t know why, but I’m fighting an urge to giggle at the photo above. I didn’t really look at it before I uploaded it to flickr and the fact that we’re smiling off...

Super Jeep Tour, Iceland.
We only had one pre-organised activity of our Iceland trip – a day out with a driver in a large jeep, hopefully exploring glaciers, volcanos and with a two hour hike in the middle. We met our driver,...

Overnight in Newcastle. Possibly my most boring post yet.
We’re sitting in a dark, slightly dank room in Newcastle tonight, but at 20 pounds for the privilege we’re not complaining. We’re on our way up to Edinburgh for a weekend of fun with some friends from...

Interim Post
We’ve been super busy for the last five days hanging out with friends and driving all over Scotland. We’ve got two nights of rest and relaxation (and more importantly, catching up on the blog) starting...

Isle of Skye Roadtrip
We set off on Sunday morning after dealing with the almost predictable dead battery situation. I left the lights on the previous day so it wasn’t Van Failen’s fault this time. I suppose. Although if I...

Stressed!
We’re in Gatwick at a B&B for the night before heading to the airport at 8:30 tomorrow morning. We both woke up feeling a bit stressed and frantic this morning. I realised I’d left a few important...

Arusha, Tanzania
We spent more time in transit getting from London to Arusha than you would normally spend getting from Australia to the UK, which is twice the distance. Mainly because we had a huge gap between...

Kilimanjaro
Mount Kilimanjaro looking all mysterious beyond the disturbingly inactive-looking propellors of our plane. I’m not going to write a huge update right now. Today’s events deserve a proper write up....
