The Milford Track, Fiordland National Park-New Zealand

Milford Track – Because We Can. I was gifted the Milford Track for my birthday last year. Steve, my partner, organised it — and then, of course, I went straight into Lynda mode. I researched the absolute crap out of it. I watched YouTube videos of other people’s trips, scrolled endlessly through social media, read blogs, checked distances, elevations, weather patterns… you name it. Between my Personal Trainer  my Physio, and…

Taking on the Milford Track New Zealand.

We are 2 weeks out from heading to Queenstown New Zealand, to tackle the 4 day 3 night self guided walk on what is often called the finest walk in the world- The Milford Track in Milford Sound New Zealand. We feel blessed to be going, and in fact tickets/trips are only sold on 1 day a year, that’s how popular it is, through the Dept of Conservation…

We are staying 10 minutes from the main port of Adamas, at Mandrakia a small village in a traditional style villa. It’s remote, coastal and we love it. – I think. Throughout…

My Big Fat Greek Adventure Sifnos-2023

Sifnos – few days is all we need here on a smaller quieter island. Yet for a small isle, it certainly packs a punch.  I can’t remember if I said this in a previous blog, it is a lot harder to hire a scooter in the Greek Islands these days, than it was 5 years ago. You now need to have a motorbike rider licence from your home…
