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…
Bucketlist: Ireland
As I sit here in Antibes, at my favourite cafe, listening to music, tapping my leg to the beats and smiling from ear to ear, I have to be grateful once again to my wonderful Uppa. Apart from being one of the biggest influences on my life and one of the best people I have…
And then there was Thailand.
It’s been a week. And if someone told me I had to go home tomorrow, I would have no argument that I have already got my money’s worth. I was told that I should come here with no expectations and I will leave here with a yoga teacher qualification and a life changing experience. That…

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…
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…
