Home is where we lay our hats
Doolin, County Clare Awk go on, go on, go on! We couldn’t resist taking a trip to Doolin, County Clare, especially when we heard Father Ted Crilly’s, the main character of the comedy Father Ted, house was in the area. Well, not his house exactly, but you know what I mean. We would definitely accept…
Reality vs Instagram We try to be as honest and transparent in our blog pieces as much as possible. However, there is a game afoot – Reality vs Instagram! Since Instagram started, and technology becoming more advanced, there have been more and more fake pictures out there that doesn’t match the reality. It’s another reason…
Mauritius When people think of Mauritius, they mostly imagine honeymooners and white sandy beaches. There is this, of course, but there is so much more to it, from nature reserves to waterfalls and river gorges. Flights Our Air Mauritius flight, MK 53, would depart from Gatwick to Mauritius. From here, we would get a connecting…

‘Rathlin Island Seal Trip’ Home to approximately 150 people, it would take a certain type of character to actually live on Rathlin Island. It’s only got one pub, a Co op for your grocery needs, a small handful of eateries, which mostly are in the small selection of guesthouses, as well as a couple of…
Auschwitz Auschwitz, harrowing yes, but you can’t come to Krakow, Poland, without paying your respects to the innocent souls that got killed in this notorious Nazi Death camp. It was always a place high on the itinerary. This was a Nazi slaughterhouse, a playfield where terror and genocide was their bloody sport. Moreover, it…
Krakow – birthday trip It wouldn’t be a birthday without the traditional getaway to a pastures new! We decided on a city break in Krakow, Poland. A country that always held an interest with, off course, the main point being that of Auschwitz. Other than Auschwitz, we always heard Krakow was a beautiful city, full…
