If you’re into food, Vietnam is heaven. We’re into food and there was no stopping us. From the minute we landed in Hanoi, our mission was clear. Eat the food. Eat all the food. This is where we ate and drank and then ate some more. Giang Cafe For weird, but delicious egg coffee. Giang […]
As a tourist from the outside looking in and planning your trip, you’ll be busying yourself searching for all things Ho Chi Minh. When you turn up though, the locals will refer to the city as Saigon and let’s be honest, it’s way easier to spell. We turned up in this hectic, crazy, mental city […]
We’re not really ‘a week away in the islands’ kinda people. We generally make the most of a long weekend, or escape for three months somewhere, so this trip to Fiji was a little different for us. A wedding on Tuesday gave us the perfect opportunity to escape the winter rains and head to sunny […]
Hawkes Bay is one of the most incredible wine regions in New Zealand and if you know anything about us, we like to drink wine, so it makes sense this is where I took Mike for his 30th. In two and a half days we hit up 5 wineries and a couple more decent places […]
This started off as a blog post about where to go, what to do and all the highlights of Hawkes Bay, a very underrated corner of the North Island, New Zealand. However, it quickly became very apparent that this was far more centric of where to eat and drink. Brave Brewing Co. We stepped off […]
This makes me sad. We arrived at one of the most beautiful places in Thailand and found out the consequences of a, traveling in the rainy season and b, eating bacteria-laden chicken. If there’s somewhere we could go back to and do over, Phi Phi would be it. We loved the place and wish we […]
Most of our ‘things to do’ revolve around ‘what we’re going to eat’, but Gili T also offered some cool activities, which I wouldn’t miss.
We love Thai food and were so excited to arrive in Phuket. We had mentally prepared for the best Thai of our lives, actually in Thailand. We have a great local Thai restaurant in Auckland, so expected this and the rest. We ate as we went and tried the food in Karon, Patong and Phuket […]
Before you wonder what the heck kinda travel blog this is and stop reading, don’t. Just because it wouldn’t be on the top of our list for places to go back to, doesn’t mean we didn’t have a good time. Is it our favourite place? No. Were the beaches the best we’ve seen? No. Did […]
During our stay in Langkawi, we really only ate in Pentai Cenang where we were staying. While there are a number of food options, we weren’t overwhelmed by the choice of restaurants available to us, with lots of options over-priced and not so inviting. In saying that, there were a couple of gems we found like the below. Yasmin was our pick of the food choices, with the Roti at Restoran Almaz hard to beat.
