Bali

On our way home from Aus, we chose to spend 5 nights in Bali.  We dreamed of a beautiful paradise island, white sandy beaches and lovely inviting sea but were a little disappointed!  Having spoken to other people who've been to Bali perhaps we stayed in the wrong part of Bali though...

Adventures Down Under

It was so lovely to catch up with family in Australia!  Some of them we'd seen when they came over to the UK for our wedding last year but most we hadn't seen for 3 or 4 years and a lot had changed since then!

Singapore

We're very lucky to have family in Australia and had an amazing time visiting them! We stopped over in Singapore for a few nights en route before continuing our journey to Sydney and Brisbane before eventually heading to Bali on our way home.

I'm back!

We're back from a fantastic holiday Down Under and it's time for me to stop neglecting this...  We had a brilliant time and it's a struggle readjusting back to life in the cold, wet UK after such amazing weather in Aus.

An Asian Adventure

MrM and I are en route to Australia with a pit stop in Singapore. This is my first time here but certainly won't be my last!

Epic Fail!

It turns out I didn't get off to a very good start with this blogging thing...  I intended to blog as regularly as possible, along with taking up a fitness regime but it's not quite gone to plan so far!

Back on the shred

So what should have been day 5 of the shred became day 3... After my epic fail on the real day 3, I got up on day 4 and decided to do that days attempt after work as I was due to finish work at 9.  In reality, I got home from the pub with sore feet and a general lack of enthusiasm.  But I think the 2 day break did me good!

Ballymoney to Killybegs

After a delicious breakfast at our little B&B we set off on our long trip along the coast, trying to take in as many sights as possible before eventually ending up in Killybegs, Co Donegal.

Pinetrees Bed & Breakfast Ballymoney

Getting off the ferry in Larne both MrM and I were pretty excited to be in Ireland and explore somewhere new together. I've been to Ireland before, but only to the South, and MrM had never been.  Prior to setting off we'd planned a route and booked all our B&Bs so we knew where we needed to be each night. The first B&B we'd chosen was the Pinetrees Bed & Breakfast in Ballymoney, Co. Antrim.

A bike tour of Ireland

MrM has been away for 5 days now and I'm really missing him. We're lucky that we can communicate via email and MSN messenger and also have the odd call every now and then while he's on board the ship. We talk about a lot of day to day stuff but also reminisce quite a bit about what we did on the previous leave.  One of the main things this time being our bike tour around Ireland.
