As a treat to ourselves, and because James turned 40, we took a post-Christmas trip to Fiji. We flew in and stayed one night in a little hotel near to the airport. As the flight landed reasonably late, we thought it would be better to do this than have to rush about trying to findContinueContinue reading “Fiji”

After one night in a capsule hotel, The Lodge Annapuri, we had to move on to our proper hotel for the remainder of our visit: Pension Tomten. ContinueContinue reading “Snowboarding!”
