Seaview is possibly one of the prettiest stretches of beach on the Isle of Wight in my opinion so we always have to revisit every time. The colour palette of the water is just incredible, from deepest navy to royal blue, azure and greens. We find a few lost little woolen friends along the beachContinue reading “Seaview”

Beach life
It’s all about the beaches today with a quick nip to the main town of Ryde for some traditional seaside fare – chips in a cone! It’s starting to warm up now so we can shed some layers! We’re heading to the gorgeous little village of Seaview again now, as it is a firm favouriteContinue reading “Beach life”
Back to the island!

The sea is a stunning emerald green and the weather is perking up! We’ll be revisiting a few favorite spots as well as discovering someContinue reading “Back to the island!”

Everywhere you look, Kefalonia has aContinue reading “Blue water dreaming”

With its stoneContinue reading “Palombaggia beach”

Mini Mykonos
From the big city buzz of NYC our next trip couldn’t be more different – to the tiny Greek island of Mykonos.

Fairytale Sintra
Finally we arrive at the town that inspired the entire trip – Sintra! Sintra is known for its many 19th-century Romantic architectural monuments. One of the most eyecatching is the Pena Palace, perched high above the town it is a Disneyesque riot of colour and architectural quirks. We visited on a perfect sunny day, the blueContinue reading “Fairytale Sintra”
