Deciding to make the most of the facilities at the InterContinental, I decided to try out the pool. There is a super heated spa, a heated pool and an artificial beach (think South Bank) pool. As the entire hotel was inundated with guests for the long weekend, the only one that was almost empty was the beach, so braving the […]
On the way from Eumeralla Shores to the Gold Coast, we decided to drop into my Grandma’s house to show some wedding photos and videos. At 92, it was too dangerous for her to attend but we know that she would have been there if she could have. It was a lovely visit and a well needed pit stop as […]
Although our overseas honeymoon plans were dead in the water, we weren’t going to let a global pandemic stop us from having a well deserved holiday. Tanya, the research Queen, started scouring the internet for potential locations that were nearby but also something we had never done before. One place she found was Eumarella Shores, beautiful lakeside cottages at Noosa […]
After a slow and relaxed start to the day, our first stop of the day was to find a “Drug Store” to get some ear drops as my right ear has decided to misbehave whilst we have been away. After securing the medication without any issue we wanted to start the fun part of the day. Iririki Island is a […]
A cruise ship was in town for the next couple of days, so the plan was to relax and enjoy the peace and quiet of the resort. I discovered you can order a complimentary coffee with your breakfast so that was necessary to cure my caffeine addiction. After eating (and if you are reading this mum, resting for thirty-minutes) I […]
“You better have packed sunscreen” said the kind stranger next to us on our flight to Vanuatu after taking one look at my paleness. She was lovely, actually every single person we have met so far has been extremely pleasant and helpful but I am getting ahead of myself. The plane ride was extremely short, once we were served our […]
It was a super early start to our day as we needed to be at the Disneyland pickup on time otherwise we would have no idea how to get their and back on our own. We headed downstairs to get our first free breakfast at our awesome French hotel. It was pretty impressive, especially for a European breakfast, which from […]
No matter how long you leave yourself to get ready, I always feel rushed when you need to checkout from a hotel. Maybe it is the finality, once you leave that room – your home for two weeks, you will never ever return to that exact spot. We were running late and also hadn’t factored in the extra time everything […]
The mood was very somber as we woke knowing that today was the last full day in London. To make matters worse, we needed to wash our clothes again so that would waste a portion of this precious day. We packed our dirty clothes into our carry-on and went across the road for some breakfast. I had been there a […]
On the 12th day of London my true love and I decided to go back to South Kensington. We wanted to visit the Science Museum after enjoying the Natural History Museum so much. We also needed to buy some gifts at Harrods which is only down the road. We skipped breakfast as we knew we wanted to have an empty […]
