EL Nido, Palawan

Its Neat’o Palawan has been on the bucket list for some years, we just hadn’t managed time to get there. We were time poor with only ten days inclusive of travel days to make a break for it. The trip was for Locks birthday – I wanted an escape with little travel time, and thankfully […]

Está volao – CUBA

Lock and I had huge talks about visiting Havana, intrigued about this old island. Our fascination grew more after our friends shared their experience of salsa nights and Cuban sandwiches. They recommended visiting before the tourist population grows, and already the country is opening up to foreign visitors since the embargo was lifted by Obama. […]

For The Love of Lemons

  It was time to gain our sea legs and try a new style of adventure – exploring the Mediterranean by sail! What better timing than now – during the peak of Riley’s locomotion, crawling and eager to climb. Baby overboard! We booked a bareboat charter as dad has his skipper’s licence from a few […]
