Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland
I was plummeting to the earth below, not able to breath as the air forced my face into a panic until I remembered to breathe through my nose. The views were spectacular as a lever was pulled and the air ripped us upwards fast and we spiralled to the landing spot below. Three days earlier….…

Cinque Terre, Italy
We were dropped at a place that appeared to be the middle of nowhere. I feel most people were confused at this particular spot known as La Spezia and without prior research, some opted to stay in the town for ease to the Busabout bus. However the real highlight for this region is the Cinque…

Tuscany, Italy
What a beautiful region Tuscany is. Italy really has it all and it’s jam-packed into one little country. We were travelling around the southern loop with Busabout from Rome to Nice, passing through Umbria where Busabout had an included photo stop… Orvieto Orvieto Walls Duomon di Orvieto Continuing on, we made it to the capital of…

The Amalfi Coast, Italy
Driving from Rome towards the coast of Napoli was fun as we sung along to ‘That’s Amore’ and other cliché Italian songs. It was great seeing and hearing stories of the region from a tourist point of view. My family are from the island of Ischia, off the coast of Napoli in which I visited for…

A guide to Rome
Rome is crazy. It’s a bustling city rich in culture and history and there is so much to see, do and take in from this city. Like most major cities, it would take weeks to scratch the surface on all the sites but as always, not everyone has time to spend weeks in just one…

The islands of Venice, Murano & Burano
A flight from Paris had us landing in Munich, the German city where we started our hop-on hop-off adventure with Busabout – a tour company that operates transport between 3 different loops, allowing you to ‘hop-on’ and ‘hop-off’ at the destinations you choose. The 3 loops covered the North (Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Czech Republic, Austria), the…

Paris, France
No other city in the world has made me feel this way. Each corner held a new and most intriguing view. Staying a couple of blocks from Notre Dame, we checked in late afternoon and decided to go for a walk, forgetting to take our good camera with us. We planned to not walk far as…

Zaanse Schans, the Netherlands
We booked a half-day trip with tour company Viator, leaving Amsterdam behind to explore the surrounding Dutch countryside with plenty of commentary about the history, culture and sights of the Netherlands. We met in central Amsterdam, finding out that majority of the Netherlands is below sea level. We visited the fishing village of Volendam, a…

Amsterdam, the Netherlands
Amsterdam is one city where the main focus always appears to be on the red light district and the coffee-shop culture (not to be confused with a cafe, where you purchase coffee). It wasn’t until we visited that I learnt there is definitely more to this city than most tourists travel here for. We arrived…

London
After a 21 hour flight from the southern hemisphere to the north, we landed in Heathrow Airport. Upon exiting the airport, the cold weather hit us and the days greeted us with weather no warmer than 14’c. The rumours are true about London – majority of the time it’s cold & drizzling rain but when…
