Between Chirtsmas and New Year we had a few days off so decided to do our first Scottish trip and head into the highlands. We had a friend from London staying for the week so we hired a car and headed West to Oban, a cute little storey book town on the West Coast of [...]
A few years ago Britt and I were playing "Articulate" ... the fast talking-partner-word-guess game. Britts topic was Geography (not her fave) and the country was Portugal. Now, how does one describe the country Portugal? It wen't something like this... Britt: two parts. The first part is the first word of our hometown (which is [...]
Because he didn't want to be a Chicken....No? Goal: One night in London to swap out dirty cold clothes for new summer clothes and bikinis, because we were Turkey bound!

This World Heritage Site was once the Nation’s Capital until a slew of devastating earthquakes forced the Government to move the Capital to the concrete sprawl of Guatemala City, less [...]
Nicaragua used to be a secret. Not anymore.
(Read in Pirate voice) What's a Pirates favourite letter of the Alphabet? (you answer "RRRRRR") You think it would be RRRR but it be the CCCCC Okay, so that was awful. Lets continue. The Darien Gap- quite possibly the most intense, dangerous stretches of land in the world. This area is a forbidding mountainous jungle [...]
Colombia. The country all parents beg their children not to go to for fear of kidnapping, rape and pillage.
