Our time in Taormina came to a close, as our tummies attempted to settle in the bus ride back down the mountain to the train station. A semi early breakfast and quick getaway allowed us to be in Siracusa by lunchtime, after a two hour odd trip. The trip into the city was very different…
Ate a balanced breakfast of goji berries and orange jam crostata, then jumped on a bus to Casteloma, a smaller village, higher up the mountain. The bus took about twenty minutes, skilfully manoeuvring the bendy roads. The road came to a dead end in a square, where the bus dropped us off and turned around…
After a satisfying spread at Catania Hotel and trying to order Pop something similar to a flat white, we caught a taxi to the station and jumped on a train to Taormina. A Sicilian lady attempted to talk to us the entire way; I was surprised at how much I could understand. As we approached…
Let me start by saying.. Have I got some stories for you. Instead of having a big party or hitting the town for my 21st birthday, it was decided that we would travel. From April first, all the way through to the start of May, an entire month abroad. My Pop, very generously, offered to…
In the last couple of months, I've changed sceneries. Trading up the bustling streets of Adelaide and night work for rolling hills covered in vineyards. That's right, I'm working at a winery. I'm not the one getting up at all hours of the morning and getting my hands too dirty, but I'm working in the…
Tarajade, Jordan's older sister, and David, her husband, recently had a baby! Not sure how, but literally the night before our wedding day - I know, crazy timing! David was a groomsmen too - extra crazy! And both David AND Tarajade AND cute baby were at our wedding AND reception - extra, extra crazy! Anyway,…
A celebratory mimosa, bacon pancakes and black coffee (apparently fried rice for Jordan) went down well as our last breakfast of the honeymoon. You couldn't keep us out of the water that morning. We absorbed every last bit of Vanuatu, snorkelling, paddle boarding and appreciating this wondrous island. On our way out of the resort,…
Three breakfasts' for Jordan and one for me, and we're back on the quad bike. Via the quicker way back to Port Vila, we bypassed 'Evergreen Cascades Waterfall' that had been spoken about a lot by some of the locals and people in the Havannah resort. \ It wasn't cheap to enter the cascades area,…
Monday morning consisted of a quick brekkie and a trip into town on the free shuttle. On the way in, it started to get busier on the roads and there was a lot more people outside on the streets. We past a lot of stalls and a couple bigger fruit and veg markets. There was…
After a refreshing nights sleep, we headed to breakfast with a motivation to do some exercise. We filled our bellies and borrowed some tennis gear. It was hot. We pumped ourselves up with some Pnau, Chameleon in particular, and some pre-workout (yes - I packed pre-workout in my suitcase, so what) and started hitting back…
