Diving
People often ask us if we’re SCUBA divers and we always say we’re happy snorkelling. It’s true that we both enjoy floating on the surface, watching the fish and coral going by below us.

Searching for Vegetables – Visiting Visoqo
Things were getting desperate. It had been a few weeks since we’d seen a vegetable market and even then it had been poorly stocked. We were down to an onion, a potato, some dried out chillies and a couple of sad tomatoes. We needed vegetables.

Gilligan’s Lava Tunnels
Just sit right back and you’ll hear a tale, a tale of a fateful trip.
At Isla Isabela in the Galápagos, one of the trips most people recommend is hiring a panga and guide for a snorkelling tour of the lava tunnels at Los Túneles. So, along with our friends Robert and Kelita from Freedom [...]

Huanchaco, Peru
