Our luck with the ferry continued and we drove straight on with only a handful of other cars leaving the island. Our route north west took us back through Hobart and eventually to historic New Norfolk. Tasmania's third oldest settlement was founded by evacuees from Norfolk Island which ceased to...

Thursday morning we walked just over a kilometre to collect our rental car which turned out to be a Honda CRV with all the bells and whistles. We made it back to the accommodation, loaded up the luggage and headed south toward Bruny Island. Following insructions from our next Air...

Despite transiting many times and visiting for work purposes, we had never really allocated time for leisure in Singapore and given that our Finnair flight from Helsinki didn't exactly align with our Malaysian flight home, we decided two nights would break the journey nicely. I had booked the Changi Airport...

Today we are headed to Nusfjord, a so called living museum. Situated just over 6 kms off the E10 via a road only built in the 1960s, this village was home to more than 1,500 fishermen in the so called 'golden age' of the early 1900s. It was a hub...

After the 'lake above the sea' in the Faroes and Studagil Canyon in Iceland, the other Insta post that had helped shape our itinerary was one of the Lofoten Islands. The Lofotens are an archipelago in the the Norwegian county of Nordland and are known for their distinctive scenery -...

Departing Keflavik airport was a bit of a nightmare (allow PLENTY of time if ever you're there) but only a couple of hours later we began to see islands dotting the ocean (and a submarine!) as we neared the Norwegian coastline. Bergen is the second largest city in Norway, home...

Leaving Myvatn Lake we had a 500 km drive in front of us, easily our longest day trip and the weather  gods finally decided to desert us. Intermittent rain accompanied us the whole way, not a disaster as we had too far to travel to stop and sightsee anyway, the...

Most of you know that I spent many hours researching this trip and in particular, Iceland. One of the waterfalls that I came across that I was really keen to visit was Aldeyjarfoss and in fact this plan actually dictated which car we hired for Iceland. To visit Aldeyjarfoss one...

Leaving the glaciers behind for now, the next day saw us driving further east aiming to have lunch at spectacular Stokknes beach overlooked by the dramatically beautiful Vestrahorn. Photographers consult tide times, weather charts and wind speed in order to be here for the perfect reflective shot but somehow with...

Beautiful Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon is one of the most famous places to visit in Iceland. Large icebergs break off from the nearby Vatnajökull Glacier and float majestically through the lagoon before drifting out to sea.  We had booked two nights accommodation near here so that we had a full day to explore...

Icelandic Air delivered us safely in a little over two hours to Keflavik International Airport to begin our next adventure. After a couple of little hiccups with the car rental we were on our way in our AWD Mitsubishi Eclipse and headed east to Selfoss for our first two nights....

We woke to persistent grey skies and a bit of drizzle but with only a day left James Bond was calling and we had no time to lose …. Our journey today would take us through an engineering marvel - the subsea Eysturoy Tunnel. This tunnel contains the world’s only...

We left Skye by way of the bridge, cheaper than a ferry (free) and heading in the right direction for us today as we headed north toward our lodging for tonight in Applecross. Our route involved traversing the eastern side of Loch Carron up to the top and then around...
