Edinburgh, Scotland | Exploring at night

June 15, 2019 by hollyGS

We arrived in Edinburgh around noon, and settled in to our airbnb. As soon as we had dropped our bags and grabbed a quick refreshment, we set out to see as much of Edinburgh as we could! Firstly we set off in the direction of the Royal Mile. Between our accommodation and the Royal Mile we encountered Calton Hill, home of the National Monument and Nelson’s monument. We then stumbled upon a place that looked great for lunch, Howie’s. The […]

Belfast to Edinburgh |Fly? Ferry? Swim?

June 8, 2019 by hollyGS

We had initially done a lot of research about taking the ferry from Belfast/Cairnryan to Edinburgh. A company called Stena Lines does the trip, and you can purchase a combination ticket that includes the bus to the ferry terminal, the ferry and then the continuing bus on to Edinburgh once you’ve crossed. The journey would have taken about eight hours and cost roughly 30 pounds. I’m somewhat of an obsessive planner. So, the fact that the ferry combination ticket could […]

Giant’s Causeway |The Dark Hedges |Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge

June 3, 2019 by hollyGS

On our first full day in Northern Ireland we decided to book a tour in order to see a lot of sites around Northern Ireland. We booked with a company called Paddy Wagon Tours (which cost us 29 euro each). The tour left Belfast central Bus station at 10 am. The bus was late, so we waited around for quite awhile, and despite the fact that we were the first ones there waiting, we were the last too climb onboard […]

Belfast: Street Art Walking Tour (Self Guided)

May 11, 2019 by hollyGS

Link to tour is here: https://embed.alpacamaps.com/journey/9ffea8e2-5eda-11e9-96fe-067ec0c7e8f4/default We weren’t quite sure what to expect from Belfast Northern Ireland. We knew it was a good jumping off point from which to see Giant’s Causeway and the Dark Hedges, but we never imagined how amazing the street art in down town Belfast would be. Here is the link to the walking tour we have made: https://embed.alpacamaps.com/journey/9ffea8e2-5eda-11e9-96fe-067ec0c7e8f4/default We knew of the street art surrounding the peace walls and the divide between the Loyalists and […]

Dublin to Belfast: Northern Ireland

May 4, 2019 by hollyGS

We woke up super early and checked out of our hostel in order to catch our bus to Belfast. We booked our tickets with aircoach online from Canada. We boarded the bus on O’Connell Street in down town Dublin at 7:30am (the bus stopped briefly at Dublin airport) and we arrived in Belfast at 9:50 am. The trip was easy and I would recommend booking with aircoach. It cost us 11 euro for the trip! For reference the route we […]

Dublin Ireland: On foot

April 27, 2019 by hollyGS

Our second day in Dublin we started off the day at an amazing cafe near our hostel, Metro Cafe. It was just above freezing, so we were able to sit outside and enjoy a hearty breakfast and delicious coffee. There was a really amazing mural opposite the cafe. The mural was Halloween themed, which was appropriate because we were visiting Dublin in the week leading up to Halloween. We then headed to Christ Church Cathedral. We had seen people up […]

Dublin Ireland: This time for real!

April 20, 2019 by hollyGS

About a year ago we tried to visit Dublin Ireland on a quick trip from Toronto, but that plan was foiled by WOW airlines (aka the worst airline). If you haven’t already read about our first attempt to see Dublin Ireland, I will link the short video below, or you can read it by clicking here. Our second time in Ireland was much more successful and we finally got to try that quintessential pint of Guinness. We arrived at Dublin […]

Malaysia in Summary

April 13, 2019 by hollyGS

We may have only been in Kuala Lumpur for one week, but we loved every moment in this spectacular country. From the bustling jungle city of Kuala Lumpur to the food and street art wonderland that is Penang. We would love to go back and see a wider variety of places, all over Malaysia. What are your suggestions for places to go and things to do? A definite highlight for me was the KL Park Canopy walk in KL Central […]

The Brickfields, Kuala Lumpur

April 7, 2019 by hollyGS

In a massive area surrounding KL Sentral, you can find the Brickfields, aka Little India Kuala Lumpur. The area is incredibly vibrant, filled with colourful shops and archways and the wonderful smells of Indian curries and chai. Beth tried a thali filled with curries and rice and papadum, whilst Jives tried a Paratha and butter paneer dish. It was an incredibly hot day, and we were carrying our backpacks on our backs (before heading to the airport). I decided to […]
