By Pippa On the 26th of July we went for a walk in Port Rexton on the Skerwink trail. We started at around eleven. The trail was supposed to take only one hour, but it took me way longer than that because, me being me, I stopped every five minutes to take a picture. And …
A Tour Around Iceland
By Pippa On Monday July 16th we went on a golden circle tour around Iceland. The first stop on our tour was a crater lake. The crater was created when a magma chamber under the ground emptied out and collapsed in on itself. Now there's a beautiful blue lake in the middle of the crater. …
York
By Pippa We arrived in York on the 23rd of June to hugs from my brother Tristan. Having not seen him in nine months I was pretty excited. We dropped of our luggage at our apartment/house and went out for a drink. On our way back, while we were walking across the bridge a large group …
Paris Part 2: The Notre Dame and the Eiffel Tower

I'm not sure what exactly I was expecting, but I wasn't expecting a dry, desert-ey place. Anyways. I really like where we are staying cause it's in the old …
Ostia Antica
By Pippa On Friday the eleventh of May we went to Ostia Antica! It was really cool because some of the old buildings still had several storeys and you could walk up the stairs and look out over the city. That may not sound all that exciting, but you must remember these buildings are 2000 …

Roviano
By Pippa We arrived in Roviano, Italy on Friday the thirteenth. After lugging our suitcases up a steep hill we arrived at our house. A small, three storied house with an amazing view of the valley! Roviano is small, quiet, not a lot of people and relatively laid back. But then again, after Adelaide and …
Hanoi’s Crazy Traffic
By Pippa What did I say about another blog post! In my latest blog post (the one about Vietnam) I talked a little about the crazy traffic in Hanoi. So now I'm going to do a whole post about it! I got the hang of crossing the street pretty quickly which is good. The trick …
