About this blog

"The world is our carpet now The world is our dancefloor now Remind me how to dance again The world is our carpet now Yes we're here Free to laugh and cry When I can't move I'll enjoy the still for a while And lose myself in waves And mountains and the sky"

Welcome to our travel blog - this is where you can keep up to date with our whereabouts and keep us posted with all your news and updates. We will endeavour to update this as much as possible and upload photos from our travels. We will capture all our memories and tales from our travels - this will be in place of the 4 hour slideshow you would normally get after such a trip. We hope you enjoy our blog and please please keep us up to date with all your news. See you all soon
