After nearly nine hours of travelling thanks to delays and bus timings, we’re back home in London. And this time we’re sticking around for a few weeks at least! We had a fantastic time in Ireland but it’ll be nice to be home for a bit, have a bit of a detox after the lastContinue reading “07/06/22 – Goodbye Ireland”

04/06/22 – We climbed it!
And it was a proper slog. By far the hardest hike I’ve ever done, and a proper hike at that! 750m of elevation in only about 2.5 miles. The photo is from about two thirds up before the final climb. We were shattered by the end, scrabbling up to the top trying not to slip.Continue reading “04/06/22 – We climbed it!”
03/06/22 – The goal for tomorrow!
We’re off on another adventure! We’re in Westport this weekend for a friend’s 40th. Tomorrow we’re hiking up this wonderful mountain, so hopefully we won’t be too broken by the end. But for now we just had a lovely walk to watch the sunset after dinner. I did love New York, but I think weContinue reading “03/06/22 – The goal for tomorrow!”
28/05/22 – And we’re back!
I’m quite sad to be back but I think a big part of that is the horrific jet lag I have from only sleeping two hours last night… But we’ve made it back in one piece somehow! I’m so happy we finally went on our trip after two years of covid hiatus, it was reallyContinue reading “28/05/22 – And we’re back!”
27/05/22 – Bye bye NYC
Our final morning in New York, and what a corker! We went out for breakfast sandwiches, then to Nic’s favourite coffee shop. We popped back to the hotel to do our final bits of packing then we headed back out for our last slice of dollar pizza! It was a whistle top tour of someContinue reading “27/05/22 – Bye bye NYC”
26/05/22 – Brooklyn day out
Today we went to visit Brooklyn for the day. We went for cocktails in the Time Out Market, ate pizza, rode on the merry go round and finally walked back to Manhattan over Brooklyn Bridge. It was a really really fun day, our last full on in New York!
25/05/22 – New York Blue Sky
Today was about shopping, revisiting the high line, eating cookie dough and drinking tiny pints in the oldest Irish pub in New York City. Excellent day out!
24/05/22 – Top of the Rock!
Day five in New York City and it was a day full of highs. Starting out with a dollar slice pizza (always a high), followed by the high line, and finally the news from high up the Rockerfella Building. So much walking but also a whole load of fun.
23/05/22 – Times Square Time!
After three days in New York so far we finally made it to Times Square. We got on a tour bus today and learnt a lot more about the city. We still walked about seven miles but it was a lovely day out and the temperature was less than 30 degrees which was a bonus.
22/05/22 – Staten Island day trip
Another hot hot day but it’s going to be a lot cooler tomorrow so we wanted to make the most of it. We got the ferry to Staten Island today to see The Statue of Liberty and get a little bit of shopping done whilst there. We managed to walk a bit less today, butContinue reading “22/05/22 – Staten Island day trip”
