First day of the year and recovery is the order of the day. Luckily, the magnificent Hyde Park is no more than a few blocks away from us, and provides everything you'd need to do nothing. Grassy lawns. Bright sun. Utter quiet. Perfect. Captain Cook ... Read more >

We got to experience the earliest New Year of our lives, a full 11 hours before you folks back home in Ireland. Food, drink, friends and fireworks. What else could you ask for? Earlier, we'd part-taken in the rehearsal for Kathrina and Barry's wedding.... Read more >

5 hours or so after take off from Sydney (where, by the way, not one person checked our ID), we arrived in Port Douglas, 67km north of Cairns and one of the sunnier places to experience the Aussie winter. We're staying here for a week, and sick as we ... Read more >

Japanese baths are amazing. We decided to take it easy today. We took the Yurikamome Line (an elevated train line) to one of Tokyo's baths, Ooedo-onsen Monogatari. The journey was great, we got to see a side of Tokyo we hadn't been to yet and the ... Read more >
