Our Honeymoon: Bali Part 3
Feeling refreshed we went on our final pre-booked trip and it was a busy day! We had the best guide on this trip. Not only did he tell us all about the places we were visiting, he gave us a real insight into Bali life and culture between our destinations. He talked about his wife…

Our Honeymoon: Bali Part 2
It started in the middle of the night. Stomach cramps, feeling hot and cold, nausea. Bali belly had arrived! I honestly don’t think I have ever felt that ill before. Throughout the night and into the morning I felt so ill and weak, but we were due to leave for our pre-booked trip shortly and…

Our Honeymoon: Bali Part 1
We were very fortunate to have a two stop honeymoon, so after visiting Singapore, our next stop was Bali. I’m not sure if we could have chosen two more contrasting destinations! This part of the honeymoon was the most humbling trip I have ever been on. The people are the nicest I have ever met,…

Our Honeymoon: Singapore Day 4
On our last day in Singapore, we saved the best til last. I was really disappointed to learn that Raffles Hotel was closed for renovations during our stay, but all was not lost. The Long Bar was open, which meant we could enjoy a Singapore Sling in the place it was invented 100 years before.…

Our Honeymoon: Singapore Day 3
Our first trip of the day was to the Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum. This was a little more complicated to get too as there was a bit of a walk from the train which went through the National University Of Singapore. Our daughters (and Allan!) are dinosaur geeks so it was worth it!…

Our Honeymoon: Singapore Day 2
After breakfast by the pool, we decided to take a walk down to the marina and visit the Gardens By The Bay in daylight. The gardens are outstanding, with an aim to provide a sustainable, enriching, conservation and leisure space for all. Singapore were hosting the Grand Prix shortly after our visit, so an extra…

Our Honeymoon: Singapore Day 1
It can be really difficult to decide where to go on honeymoon. You’re faced with the opportunity to travel and potentially take the trip of a lifetime but how do you begin to choose? When Allan and I got engaged we were gifted a scratch-off map of the world, and we decided that we would…

The Giant Lanterns Of China At Edinburgh Zoo
Allan and I don’t usually give Valentine’s Day much thought, but this year it just so happened that Edinburgh Zoo was hosting a Giant Lanterns Of China event and one of the few remaining dates with tickets still available landed right on the 14th February. I had seen some pictures on Instagram and I’m a…

A Tour Of Dundee Contemporary Arts
I recently met up with a group of bloggers in Dundee for some brunch and a tour around Dundee Contemporary Arts or the DCA as it’s commonly called! Back in my twenties I lived in Dundee and my only real experience of the DCA was drinking in the bar or enjoying the sun in their…

My Mini-Adventure To Aviemore
Recently I decided to treat Allan to a surprise weekend away. We were meant to visit a friend in Inverness a couple of weeks prior but were let down at the last minute (grrr!), and we both desperately needed a break away. I know that Allan loves Aviemore so that’s where I took him. He…
