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 […]
Pinch me. Am I awake? Walking into 5-star DaLa Spa is like walking in your own living dream. You are awake. You have to pinch yourself that it is real. Or is it? I wander through the tropical lush gardens of Alaya Ubud Resort, and from the first step inside, DaLa Spa exudes opulence. Where in the world am I? […]
Think of Ubud in Bali, and you can think of either of two things. The hustle and bustle of a once hippy town; now turned into a central bustling hub of modern earthy stores; fabulous restaurants; authentic Balinese culture; with hip and trendy hangouts. Or … You can think of the Ubud surrounding area. Where yoga […]
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. […]

We have arrived at Kalambaka in the Meteora region, and the sun is just setting. It is a cold evening and we have had a long day and an even longer drive, but we want to see the pretty lights of the town. So we drive just to the edge of town – pretty well […]
Sunday in York England for 3 Australians “The sky is blue” I declare to my Explorafriend and Explorason as we sit in our little house-sit miners cottage and look out the window. We have been busy planning our road trip, so it is time for a break and to go and explore some local history. […]
Skibbereen Ireland – a quaint town to visit If you are visiting the west area of Cork and indeed southern Ireland, please be sure to take some time to visit Skibbereen. It has pretty pots of flowers, and a load of coffee shops, and many a wonderful home decorating shop. But this day we decided […]
Chincha El Carmen Maimainé Afro-Peruvian Restaurant San José Peru After our morning in Paracas, we really did not have a lot else to do, so we packed up and decided to take a taxi into Pisco. The hostel owner helped us organize a good rate, and told the driver where to drop us at the local mini-van […]
Encarnacion Hotel Puesta del Sol & Canela Fina Restaurant, Paraguay We decided to meet our Norway friends in Encarnacion. It is always nice meeting people you know while on a family travel since it eliminates the need for luxury travel experts advice. This, therefore, means that we save so much during our single parent travel. […]
