Bali

“I didn’t like Bali!” Now before you judge me, I was pregnant in Bali, and I spent a great deal of time throwing up, unable to eat and unable to stand the heat or do many activities. Marcin always says, “you didn’t hate Bali, you were pregnant in Bali!” Looking back he is right, I…

TOP GUN Australia

“I feel the need….the need for speed”……. “You can be my wingman anytime” ……  and of course the famous and heavily used,  “Talk to me Goose”, all uttered by our favourite neighbourhood Scientologist in the 1986 hit “TOP GUN”.   Marcin and I had our own little Top Gun experience in Australia, courtesy of our…

The Cook Islands

When Rarotonga first comes into sight out of the plane window, your first thought is “How the heck are we landing on that!”  The question is soon answered after going into what can only be described as a dive bomb, hard landing at the edge of water and then a deafening roar of brakes and…

New Zealand – North Island Outdoor Adventures

Our North Island outdoor adventure consisted of both planned and unplanned activities, we conquered Great Walks, Volcano’s and walked, albeit not easily, into Mordor. We have compiled a few clips of these adventures into a short video below. Our first outdoor adventure was our second Great Walk, the Whanganui Journey.  Even though it is labelled…

New Zealand North Island

Our  journey in New Zealand has come to an end and sitting here in the Cook Islands it seems like it was so long ago, but then I see the blackened toenail I am about to lose and Marcin limp by and I realize it was only a few days ago.  New Zealand really is…

Crikey!

CRIKEY!  That phrase boomed into our living room religiously growing up as my sister and I never missed an episode of “The Crocodile Hunter” series.   The phrase uttered by Steve Irwin was his most well known among his other enthusiastic statements about wildlife including other favourites of ours – “Isn’t she gorgeous”,  “Feisty little…

Flynnbob Geographic….the Movie

Better late than never….  We had a bit of time in Port Douglas, (Australia) to sift through some of the video footage we took during our Safari in Tanzania.  We took way more pictures than we did video, but we thought we would put together a few clips of what we did tape.  Both pictures…

The Land Down Under

Our Love Affair with Australia Australia is the flattest, driest and probably deadliest inhabited continent on earth and we are in love with it.  Maybe it was the fact that we just left a country in which we had been robbed or it could be the 21 sleep deprived hours we spent locked up in…

South Africa: Cape Town

It took us a bit longer than usual to write our posts for South Africa as it was an experience that feels hard to describe and one of mixed emotions.  You can see from our Garden Route post that there is a lot of beauty in the country, a lot of great people and a…

Tanzania

We have often heard it said, that once you have visited the African continent, you fall in love with it.  We now understand why.  The Safari was one of the most amazing experiences in our lives, but it was our travelling though and between villages and cities, seeing the landscape and meeting people, that made…
