SLOVENIA 2019. Day 8: Flying home .....

Today was the end of our holiday. We enjoyed our last breakfast and went into the centre of Kranjska Gora  for a last look around. We squeezed a cake in before returning to our hotel to sit on the balcony and enjoy the views for one last time. We had a 3hour drive to Salzburg then a short flight home. We’ve had a brilliant time and hope to keep up all the walking when at home.

Singapore 2018. Day 1: The relaxation begins ....

After enjoying a wonderful family vacation to Disney World and moving into a new house last year, my family and I had planned to spend this year renovating our new home. However, after a tough year, we decided that a holiday was much needed. The only problem was deciding on a destination. We were looking for a budget-friendly option in Europe, but nothing seemed to fit the bill. We wanted a cheap week away in Europe, but as you know nothing goes to plan in the Duff household 😂 We wanted somewhere to just chill. But Asia was calling us back again ...... Singapore seemed like a perfect choice. It's a small country that doesn't require a lot of traveling, and it's perfect for relaxation. We have fond memories of visiting Singapore a decade ago, and we're excited to take our time and enjoy the fantastic weather and food.                                       Perfect !! So today has arrived a...

Singapore 2018. Day 11: Art trail to retail.........

We were typical Brits abroad this morning, a full English😱.The lounge is stunning so we took a little time to enjoy it. Reading of course. I just love the decor, it feels like it could be home to me. We visited the National gallery of Singapore today. We love art and we love Asia so it seemed like a perfect choice. The gallery was originally the city hall and the Supreme Court. It has now been restored and updated into a stunning gallery,  the new meets old. Not only was the building impressive the art was captivating too. There were numerous galleries displaying some amazing Asian art. Some of the water colours by Lim Chang Hoe would look lovely on our walls. His art was very interesting to us as he returned after a number of years to each place that he had painted and repainted them. This not only showed us how his work began to change with new techniques but also how Singapore had changed over the years. This was also our experience seeing Singapore after returning after 1...

Taiwan 2014 Day 2: A day in Taipei

Image
Let me tell you about our adventure-filled day in Taipei! It started with trying to find a place to have breakfast. Taipei is full of quirky cafes but it seemed like they were all hiding from us. After a while, we finally stumbled upon a charming little cafe and got ourselves fueled up for the day ahead.                                                                                      Our first stop was the stunning Lin family mansion and gardens. It was hard to believe that such a tranquil place existed in the heart of this bustling city. The mansion and gardens were built by the Lin Ben Yuan family in the Qing Dynasty, who made their fortune in the rice-growing industry. The gardens were breathtaking, and we spent a few hours exploring them and learning about their rich ...
