After the issue we ran into with our VRBO rental in the UK we were a little worried with the 3 other Airbnb rentals we had coming up in Norway. Because we’d be traveling throughout Norway and staying in some small towns, rentals were more available than hotels at the time of booking this trip. [...]
This was the day we continued heading north and had one of Norway’s most visited places. the famous Trollstigen in our sights. We drove the road, also called the Troll’s Ladder, from Stryn up to a small town called Vikebukt where we’d be staying for a few nights. The most well known section of the [...]
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 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. [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
We're going on an adventure!
