Our family absolutely loves to travel. This blog is a way for us to keep a record of our different journeys and, also, to share travel updates and information with family and friends. I also trade FX from home and have a blog that deals with my FX trading journey - tradecharting.com
Wednesday 18th September. Today was our last full day in Amsterdam and we’re sorry to be leaving so soon as we feel we have only scratched the surface of this beautiful city. Mark has been a bit grumpy seeing all the peeps cycling without joining in so I sent him off on a 4-hour bike … More Amsterdam: last day.
Monday 17th September I slept poorly and was awake from 3.30 am so that shaped much of my day.

Sunday 16th September Our days normally start with a morning walk but our late sleep-in put that out for today. Our morning walking tour started at 11 am and so we focused on making that our goal for the morning; that and a load of washing. Our guide for the tour was Sergio again and, … More Shore & Ship
Friday 14th – Saturday 15th September. Our flight from Sydney left at 10.15 am on Friday 14th and we made it to Amsterdam at around 7 am on Saturday 15th. That might seem fairly quick to you but it was a rather drawn out affair for us due to the 6 hour layover in Hong … More First stop: Amsterdam

Sunday 15th July 2018 This is just a brief update of activities for our week in Bali to celebrate Matt’s 30th birthday. It will be rather repetitive with each day being something like: breakfast, pool time and reading, spa treatment, sunset drinks followed by dinner…repeat!
Friday 22nd June. It was lovely to see the sun again for our last full day in Falmouth, Mark had booked in for a morning bike ride with Tony, found through a contact from the Devon Cycle Club, I was going to walk and then we planned to use the afternoon to go for a … More Poldark’s ‘Wheal Leisure’ Mine day.
Thursday June 21st: Happy Solstice Day! For the last two mornings we had woken to grey skies and rather bleak weather so it was with some joy we woke to see the sun shining for the Summer Solstice. Mark’s snoring had me awake even earlier than usual and so it looks like I will be … More St Mawes Castle Day.
Wednesday 20th June. We had a slow start to the day with a morning walk out to the beach district of Falmouth before heading out at midday to Pendennis Castle.

Protection was wanted against any reprisals from Catholic … More Pendennis Castle Day.
