Staying at an airport hotel seems to have become my favourite way to start off a holiday, especially when we have to get up at a ridiculously early hour for our flight. Not only does it make the start of a trip so much less stressful but it also means we can technically start the … Continue reading Pre-Holiday Luxury at Windfalls Boutique Hotel
Hi. I’m Ayla. And I have a foodie addiction. A completely out of control, amazingly delicious addiction, and I thought it was about time I shared it with you (in case you didn’t already know). I don’t just mean that I like eating. There’s a difference between being a foodie and just being a plain … Continue reading My Foodie Addiction
I’ve been a bit quiet on the blog and social media front lately as, to put it simply, I was just having too much fun over the holidays.

After a lovely couple of days in Bath and Cheddar Gorge, the last stop on our mini road trip was the Cotswolds where we planned on seeing some of England’s greenest countryside and stopping off at several of its small villages before heading back home. As is typical in England, it rained pretty much the whole … Continue reading The Cotswolds: A Photo Essay

I may have just had a long weekend in Belgium, but that didn’t stop me going on a chocolate tour of London the week before. This was purely because I wanted to treat my chocoholic of a mum and not out of my own desire to stuff my face with chocolate. Obviously 😉 My sister … Continue reading A Chocolate Ecstasy Tour
On my recent visits to Porto I have been lucky enough to have eaten at some of the most fantastic restaurants, all recommended by locals, from great brunch spots to the most divine vegetarian restaurants. I now have so many recommendations to share that there are far too many to include in one post, so … Continue reading Porto’s Most Indulgent Desserts (and Where to Find Them)
Yes, you read that title right! There are a huge amount of wine estates in Cape Town and the surrounding Winelands, and clearly they know that parents want need the occasional glass of wine as the majority of them cater so well to children and families. So of course we had to include several in … Continue reading Child Friendly Wine Estates in the Cape Winelands
As much as I hated leaving the fabulous city of Las Vegas behind, it was onto our next adventure. The 4 and a half hour drive to the Grand Canyon was pretty smooth sailing – aside from Mr Ayla having a slight panic at having to drive out of the busy city, in an automatic, on the … Continue reading A Quirky Road Trip from Las Vegas to the Grand Canyon
