After leaving Sogndal we found ourselves heading north to our next location in Stryn. On the way up we decided to detour to Kjenndalsbreen, an offshoot of the Jotunheimen Glacier to check out the waterfall and glacier. The drive here was beautiful and when arrived we were surprised that we were the only ones here [...]
We spent several days in Sogndal staying at the Sogndal Fjordpanorama Airbnb with amazing views of the fjord. This was our base for a few days as we explored the area of Flåm and taking in what it had to offer. While in Flåm we took a boat cruise on the Nærøyfjord and were amazed [...]
We flew from West Sussex to Bergen, Norway and spent time walking the city center and checking out the harbor views of Bryggen. Rain is pretty typical in Bergen so we knew what to expect when we landed. We only had the afternoon and evening in Bergen before we left early the next morning for [...]
Day 2, our reason for traveling to the UK, Coldplay at Wembley Stadium. When they announced they would be performing 10 shows at Wembley I just had to try. This resulted in 2 straight days of 2AM wake up calls to try and buy tickets, and ended in one tired, frustrated and empty handed fan. [...]
Our vacation got off to a rough start soon after arriving in London. We were picked up by driver and headed to Wembley where we’d be spending 2 nights during our quick stopover. We had a few hours between getting picked up and when we could check into our VRBO that we thought we’d just [...]
Time to cross another new destination off our travel list. Back in October 2024, Coldplay announced a US leg of their Music of the Spheres tour and I convinced Jason to try to get tickets with me. Since all cities were going on sale the same day, we made a plan to each try and [...]
"Why would you see a movie on vacation?" While having breakfast with some of the other guests at the Crosshill geo domes, a couple told us about their evening checking out the local movie theater. Now seeing a movie while on vacation isn’t normally something we’d do, however based on their recommendations, we just had [...]
Towards the end of our trip, we finally made our way over to Milford Sound, my must see place for this trip. We drove from Invercargill and opted to stay 2 nights in Te Anau, the gateway to the Fiordland Nat’l Park, because there were more restaurants and accommodations. Te Anau is about 2 hours [...]
Next up on our travel around New Zealand was visiting Aoraki / Mount Cook National Park where we made arrangements to take a boat tour to the Tasman Glacial Lake. The tour with Glacier Explorers allowed us to get out on the lake in a small boat of just 8 passengers, weaving around massive icebergs [...]
Next stop on our trip was Rotorua. We made Rotorua our home base for 3 days to explore the region best known for its geothermal landscapes, extreme activities and Māori culture. First stop after arriving was to a place called Hell’s Gate for a soak in the geothermal mud bath and then a dip into [...]
