A lovely old town in a modern metropolis where the wealthy bank and register their super-yachts, and the amazing Panama Canal. A great stopover city en-route to Galapagos and it gave Debbie ideas that Panama is worthy of further exploration in the dry season…
A charming colonial city, fabulous Caribbean islands and a few days of doing nothing in a spectacular location where the jungle meets the sea…
Only half an hour by plane from Medellin but it felt like half a world away – this region was drop dead gorgeous.
Some of the world’s finest coffee, the world’s tallest palm trees and 2 pensioners who should know better handing off the back of a jeep…
In at the deep end – once the world’s most dangerous city, but now re-invented and a testament to the resilience of the residents. Trendy in places, amazing in others, brilliant scenery not far from the city. And an ‘interesting’ journey back to the airport…
After a month in the UK to see family, stock up on Steve’s medication and for him to have the blood tests to confirm that his liver was tolerating said meds (it is thankfully), and attempt to plan/organise our next 3 month stint, it was time to resume our adventure and set off on our most adventurous trip so far – destination South America.

Amazing Shiraz in the Barossa Valley, a luxury stay and some delicious wines in the Yarra Valley, Kangaroos in the wild and on our plate, and an unwanted ‘adventure’ to get home…
Comedy, culture and a dose of 90s Britpop – our visit was during Adelaide Festival and Fringe – a brilliant but very full couple of days…
Probably the most famous drive in Australia, gorgeous coastal scenery, unexpected gems of small towns and a bonus unplanned wine region…
A sporty, arty, foodie city and we met up with some old friends too…
