As the snow forms a white blanket and lays softly on the grassy roadside edges, I gaze out of the window and realize that I am experiencing a dream come true. Just over two years ago we visited Meteora in October of 2014, and I have always wanted to return to see it when it […]
Meteoron Panorama Restaurant We had a really early start from Athens the day we arrived at Kalampaka, and so we walked through town from Hotel Alexiou it was a lovely stroll to the top end of the road just as it curves up the hill. Here we arrived at Meteoron Panorama Restaurant. We dined here last […]
Happy New Year! “Champagne corks pop, fireworks bang and sparkle, cheeks and lips are kissed. Shouts of joy erupt as guests welcome in the New Year.” A year of unknown life awaits us all. A year we hope that has fewer difficulties, and that we find more inner fulfillment. A year to make dreams come true. […]
Going to London, England? We just spent a week-and-a-half in London and loved every minute! For us, it was the lead up to Christmas, so it was the season for festivities, Christmas Markets, English humor, street decorations, silly Christmas jumpers, and shopping! But between all that, we managed to see and do a lot. TIP: […]
I’m perched precariously on the back of the motorbike seat as we weave through the thick late afternoon traffic of Hanoi. Donned on my mop of curly hair is a ‘Hello Kitty’ helmet that is reminiscent of a World War II German helmet in shape. I find my wits are sharp as we wiggle around moving […]
We’ve just spent four glorious nights in Singapore staying at The Club in the historic section, right by Chinatown. And the first thing I learned was that four nights is not nearly long enough if you really want to experience all Singapore has to offer! Explorason had researched the Top Ten Things To Do For Kids […]
Eating out involves a lot more than just getting a bite to eat. It isn’t just about the food. It isn’t just about the location. And it sure isn’t just about the price. So we went hunting, and we found what we believe to be the all-round best restaurant in Ubud. Here is why. Things […]
How fabulous is this? I am looking at an art deco wooden bar fridge in superb condition. It is definitely the central feature here, laden with quality South Australian wines. We had been on an afternoon walk around the Hahndorf Resort grounds where we were staying and wandered into the Three Gums Bistro just before sunset. […]
When you travel where do you mainly eat? Do you venture out of your hotel and explore the surrounding area, or do you choose to dine in their restaurant? Most times when we travel and book a hotel, we tend to eat out of the hotel, mainly because you think it is ‘mainstream’ and ‘predictable’. But […]
Traveling the world (as we do) has some amazing and unusual opportunities. Not only are we able to explore fantastic locations, and stay in beautiful places, we are also able to try new and interesting foods. When we recently visited Bali, Indonesia, we were invited to try Japanese food for breakfast at Nishiazabu Imadoki Restaurant. […]
Amidst the hustle and bustle of Bangkok, we found some amazing places to visit; great places to shop; awesome tours; a wonderful spa; fabulous hotels; and brilliant shopping. But even with all that, everyone needs time to stop and eat. And not just a quick bite, we decided we wanted to experience some of the […]
Have you ever seen a tree growing inside a building? If you visit Siam Wisdom Restaurant in Bangkok then this is what awaits you, and both children and adults find it fascinating. I’m not sure which came first. The tree, or the restaurant? But nestled inside this traditional wooden two-story building, is a massive tree bursting forth […]
