This post has been a long time coming, trust me I’ve heard it from all angles, & I have no excuses,…..just reasons, I’m so busy filming mad videos on my GoPro & taking breathtaking pics on my DSL650 that I leave all the writing up to Tash;) haha So I need to give you the…
Istanbul: The discovery of Light, Colour & Miellies on wheels
Just when you thought you knew the definition of light and colour, you hit the streets of Istanbul. You walk the streets and are presented with a kaleidoscope of colour at every turn. We are so lucky that we have been docked incredibly centrally, with a panoramic view of the city and its delights unravelling…
Taking The Plunge- A Turkish Bath
A MUST DO WHEN VISITING ISTANBUL! I booked into my Hammam on recommendation from my chief stew. It was a slightly more expensive one than the others, but she had sung its praises and so I decided to treat myself. As I do. I was hoping that Bryce and I could do it together, but…
The Magic of Istanbul
I find myself finding “favourites” every time I swing my arms in this city, my favourite Mosque, my favourite tea shop, my favourite street…which has meant that the city has fast climbed it’s way up my list of Favourite Cities to Number 1. That might sound like a big claim, but when you are lucky…
Sunrise Yoga
If I could write a song, titled These are a Few of my Favourite Things, Sunrise Yoga (and sunrise full stop) would be a repeated line in many of the verses. Here, you can see a quick 30 second clip of us doing some sunrise yoga on passage from Russia to Istanbul. The sea was calm…
Bungee? In Russia?
There is a small coastal town in Russia, called Sochi. And just past that there is an even smaller town called Adler. This is where we were. The funny thing is it is actually home to the Russian Grand Prix and the Russian Winter Olympics. But, the town is not much to look at. And,…
We’re on a boat!
We have officially been away from home for 5 weeks. It seems crazy, as so much has happened between now and leaving Cape Town. We have stayed in some very entertaining places and had some very interesting experiences. My favourite story to tell is the story of a night out we had in Monaco. I…
OUR FIRST GO-PRO MOVIE….
Take a look at our footage from our Franschhoek Wine Tram experience. We had to cut down a lot to create this “short clip” and we hope we get better at both summarising and editing…ENJOY! But not too shabby for our first stab 🙂 If you missed our post on the weekend, it’s here. More…
Peaking;) & the preparation behind the scenes
So this is my first blog post….ever, & hopefully one of many on this little escapade. Today, for the first day in months I can actually sit back with a bit of free time & reflect on where we are at. It’s been a hell of a long slog prepping for this ‘life changing’ decision, everyone…
Cote D’Azur: the Adventure begins
It felt surreal even when we were sitting in the Slow Lounge at OR Tambo. Neither of us had had time in the build up to the departure to stop and think about the adventure that was about to unravel. And all of a sudden, we had said our goodbyes and were together with all…
