The Wonders of the World
About Maria
I don't know what possessed me to include a stopover in Helsinki for just two nights but in hindsight I am glad I did. Having seen only a small glimpse of the city I feel compelled to come back and explore it further. Perhaps I'll stop by again on my way to visiting some of the other Scandinavian Regions that have been on my bucket list an…
....Well its time to fulfil a lifelong dream of just travelling around the world, seeing new places, meeting new faces and sharing in what this wonderful world has to offer. We hope that through our eyes you will be able to appreciate the wonders and beauty of each country as we travel around the world.
Lucy and I are looking forward to taking on this adventure and hope that you enjoy the journey as much as we will. No doubt there will be tears, tantrums, laughs and lots of stories…

When we first put our names down for the Croatian Evening excursion with Cosmos we had no idea what we were getting ourselves in for! I had imagined a large, overcrowded restaurant full of to…

Yesterday we travelled south to Split through the hinterlands and along the Dalmatian Coast. Small country towns would appear briefly between the trees, a reminder that civilisation was still…

Llina Costanzo Hi Lucy and PinaGlad to hear you are having a wonderful time. I am a bit worried about some of those places you will be visiting eg Marrakesh. I will be praying for you. Most importantly I cant believe you didnt enjoy Universal. In saying that I am a huge Universal fan (as Lucy can tellyou I just love the States) and an adrenalin junkie for the rides. Promise me you will do Universal in LA - it is out of this world. Mind you I went 8 years ago so it would be even better now. Cant wait to hear your next blog you keep me entertained and I just love the way you write Pina, it is so professional. You should do something about that talent! The twins miss you so much Lucy Nevada still cries for you every Monday morning. Enjoy the rest of your trip. Miss you. Love Lina and the clan. xxx
