One of my most memorable encounters on our trip through Porto, was a truly beautiful one with Hugo, our tour guide’s grandparents, Ana and Manuel. I am going to back up a little to give some details. Jamie, my younger sister, had spent all night the night before stressing about finding the perfect and most…

Diving The Similan Islands
There are those moments, in life, when you do things for love. This diving trip was one of them. The idea of doing 14 dives over 4 days sounded a little too hectic for me. I’m a two dives a day kind of girl. I like fresh air. But then again, I LOVE nature. And…
TREEHOUSE DREAM :)
I am not sure I have ever walked into a more magical space. The Rabaeng Pasak Treehouse Resort is probably my highlight of our entire trip. I am not sure if it is because it has always been a childhood dream for me, or because you are so immersed in nature- but I just really…
Train trip: Bangkok–> Chiang Mai
I can quite comfortably say that we have covered every single mode of transport that Thailand has had to offer. And this was one of the more interesting, throwing some great people across our paths, zero sleep for me and one very insistent Thai service stew. I am trying to work out whether I would…

Camping on the coast- Cala Gonone
Oh man was I need of a weekend away from the boat. I can’t say it was anyone else’s fault but my own, but I was just feeling ratty, tired and annoyed. Boat life, sometimes it is the best thing ever, but some times it can feel incredibly claustrophobic and then throw in a little…
Sunshine & Pedalos in Corfu
My only previous reference to Corfu was Gerard Durrel’s My Family and Other Animals, where the lead character lived on the Island. For some reason the book stuck with me. We were lucky that for a 2-week period in July, we were docked in Corfu, right in the centre of the town and right…
A quick “pull in” to Bonifacio
Our Captain and Deck crew made a very impressive docking into the Port of Bonifacio for 24 hrs of playtime for the guests! Such a beautiful part of the Med. Watch our timelapse!
Albania- the most random fuel stop
Look, I’ve been to a couple of random spots in my life, but never more random than a fuel stop in Albania, of all places. We were in one of those fortunate positions, where our guests had jumped off for a rare few days. The crew were obviously elated, until we were told…
I’m back….
It’s been so long since I have written a blog post that I have actually been petrified to click the blog tab on my Chrome Tab Bar. Not only because I have so many things to write, but also because I am aware that our views have been fast and furiously dwindling, due to SIX…
