This one’s up here with some of the most scenic train journeys in Europe! If you ever get the chance to head up to Jungfraujoch on the train (it’s in Switzerland), do it! Heads up though - it’s relatively high altitude and you will feel breathless up there. Good thing is that’ll be partly because of the lower amount of oxygen at that elevation but also in part because it’s absolutely gorgeous (and you get to see a huge glacier up there too!) 🚂💨💨 (at Jungfraujoch - Top of Europe) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6TcSCLAm78/?igshid=1dg3orxhmi9b7

ᵃᵈ Playing tourist in London with @bigbustours and absolutely loving it! Also come to the realisation that some of the best views in London just might be atop of these buses. 😁😁😁 #BugBusTours (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6N__XhAxhO/?igshid=ao997mriotim

This technically has nothing to do with Christmas yet it feels like the most Christmassy place in the world. ❄️🎄😄😆🎄❄️ (at Lapland (Finland)) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6LVr4mgEkX/?igshid=1aebuo2vaj0lw

This is till date still one of the most impressive libraries we’ve ever visited! 😍😍😍 A few years ago, I’d never really look to visit libraries when we travel (why would you? 🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️) but we’ve found so many amazing ones recently that they’re now a legit part of my “to visit” list whenever we go anywhere new.

ᵃᵈ Decided to slow things down on our current microgap to the Isle of Wight and embrace all things cosy and indoors... but then this sunset happened and the only place to be was right here on the beach. 😍😍😍 #MyMicroGap (at Isle of Wight) https://www.instagram.com/p/B43QF61gG0V/?igshid=ehvcm2sb3pnv

Escaped to an English island yesterday and found a little slice of Italy there! Turns out this was the home of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert and even comes with its own private beach, which in typical Royal style is one loooooong walk away from the house 😄😄 (admittedly though, it’s through some rather gorgeous gardens).

Lloyd found some old photos of his Mum as a baby here and decided he had to check this spot out in the city. Good call, on his part! It’s absolutely beautiful in here! (at Belfast City Hall) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4yIffMAIpl/?igshid=1pbb8g41neetp

With some down-time in Belfast, we decided to go off in search of the best view point in town. Pretty sure this is it! ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Heads up though, the cocktails are pretty pricey here, even by London standards, but if you’re looking for a bird’s eye view over the city, pretty sure this is where you need to head to. 😁😁 (You can chalk the price of the drinks down to the price of admission, I guess. 😄) (at The Observatory Bar, Grand Central, Belfast) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4vHOnRgj64/?igshid=yue5lbmtkias

ᵃᵈ I have no idea how it’s taken us this long to finally visit Belfast! We really should have so much sooner. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ For starters, we both love exploring the island of Ireland, it’s ridiculously easy to get to (it’s such an easy win for a quick city break) but even more importantly, Lloyd’s grandparents are actually from Belfast! (The church they got married in is right here in this city - along with their first home as a married couple). ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ We decided this weekend it was high time to visit and boy is it worth it! (We also realised there’s so much about this city we knew nothing about!) ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I could try to describe so much to what finally visiting Belfast is like but I think I’d rather show you instead over the next few days... 😁😁😁 #JustGo @TourismIreland #Belfast (at Belfast, Northern Ireland) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4nfOvXAPe5/?igshid=d4k8asx2a4y8

Not long now before these beauties return! 😍😍😍⁣ ⁣ *Also, thanks sooooo much for all the lovely messages! Haven’t been able to reply to them and haven’t been in own bed for a few days now but will do very soon! Really REALLY appreciate it!

Woke up this morning to the exciting news that we just won’t the @Pinterest award for Best Travel Tips! We’re gobsmacked, a little jet lagged and absolutely thrilled! ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Clearly none of this would have been even remotely possible without you so we just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to you for the ridiculously huge smiles plastered on our faces all day! 🤗😊😁⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ (*Oh, about the photos - apparently our tips on Greece tips were a huge part of we won the @PinterestUK award, ergo the Greek photos! 😁😁😁)⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ #BestOfPinterestUK (at Greece) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4QJVP-FniG/?igshid=1qdbigs1mh93e

ᵃᵈ There’s no real theme to this post. 😁😁😁 It’s just a series of randoms from this trip so far. 😄😄 It’s been so much fun these past few days exploring one of our absolute fave cities with @WestJet. ⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ We were trying to our on fingers on why we both love the city so much and, much as I really (REALLY) don’t like comparing cities, I think that it’s because Toronto reminds us so much London (in so many ways) that we both find it so easy to feel at home within seconds of arriving in the city.⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ *Ironically, we’re also aware that Toronto looks nothing like London so that comparison kinda sounds pretty silly at the same time. ⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ #SeeTorontoNow #WestJet #OpenYourCuriosity (at Toronto, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4LY7b6g2Dl/?igshid=vwx44e7ef5mf

Went searching for the best view over the city yesterday. I think it’s probably safe to say that we found it. 😍😍😍⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ #OpenYourCuriosity #WestJet #SeeTorontoNow (at Toronto, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4IFIhWgKuK/?igshid=1j97ycvbrqd9j

Yeah, I’ve tried and I still don’t understand what this means. 🤔 Any ideas? (at Toronto, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4GBKVqAU_g/?igshid=13waj93d31r4m

ᵃᵈ Halloween nights at the museum was next level! People really showed up with their costumes last night (Swipe to see an example of what I mean). Full deets to follow on stories very shortly! #Toronto #OpenYourCuriosity #SeeTorontoNow #WestJet (at Royal Ontario Museum) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4F_ZG_gYYW/?igshid=jnz2js6jcxqc
