Armed with a chocolate croissant and rudimentary understanding of German trains, we’re empowered to begin a new battle. The curious case of how to pay for a bus ticket… and where the heck is the bus depot? A long walk and muddled conversation with the bus driver later, and we successfully depart...

A December to remember at Köln Christmas Markets - The Roaming Duo

Getting yelled at by the Queen's Royal Guard! - The Roaming Duo
0 0
The first culture shock, coming from Melbourne to London is the size of the trains. As the London tube was built quite some time ago, some tunnels and therefore, some trains are like vehicular pringles cans; barely “just” enough for their contents. Warm air blows from the vents under our feet...

A mystical airport from the future - The Roaming Duo
0 0
Oh no! Today is the day that we have to leave Singapore. And usually there’d be nothing much to write about on a travel day however Singapore Airport defies logic. But we’ll get to that. It’s early morning, and we’re keen to catch one last glimpse of Merlion (my latest obsession). Much to our...

Squirrels in the Foliage Garden - The Roaming Duo

Yesterday the heat won. Today was my revenge match, for which I was aptly prepared! As we boarded the train that morning I was stocked with cool gel strips and an arsenal of electrolyte infused water, taking sips every 10 minutes or so. This worked quite well and there were no further incidents,...

Exploring Singapore & the sweet delight of Kaya Toast! - The Roaming Duo
0 1
It’s our first day in Singapore and given last night’s cheeky late night, very uncultured Burger King for dinner… we thought we’d start the day with a quintessentially Singaporean breakfast: Kaya Toast! What is Kaya toast, you ask? It’s an eclectic mix of toast, butter, coconut jam and egg, a...

Saying goodbye to our home of 7 years, as we head off for 4 months of travel! - The Roaming Duo

Here we are at the start of an adventure. Day 1. The beginning of 4 months travelling through Europe, a culmination of a years worth of planning and who knows how many hours spent day dreaming. As I sit, waiting for our flight I’m reminded of all the friends and family that have rallied behind […]
