The Iceman Cometh
4 января 2023 г., Италия ⋅ ⛅ 8 °C
Onwards to Bolzano: home of Otzi the Iceman and gateway to the Dolomites. The feel is decidedly German, particularly with the Christmas Markets still open.
Hold the Ice
5 января 2023 г., Италия ⋅ ⛅ 4 °C
We had ignored all of Lara's pleas to go ice skating in places like Garda because we had a plan to skate near Bolzano... on a real lake in the mountains.
Unfortunately, today was a balmy 11 degrees!Читать далее
Aussie Sledging
6 января 2023 г., Италия ⋅ 🌙 -1 °C
Snow at last! Even better we have entered a "bubble" under the care of Manuela: travel agent, resort owner and wife of a previous Italian national 4 course ski champion. We were provided with coffee,Читать далее
Ski Safari Day 1
7 января 2023 г., Италия ⋅ ⛅ 0 °C
This was the whole reason for coming to Italy, but we (the adults) were full of nerves. The concept is to do the Dolomites with a guide who would take us from mountain hut to mountain hut a bit likeЧитать далее
Ski Safari Day 2
8 января 2023 г., Италия ⋅ ☁️ -4 °C
Our step learning curve continued today. It seems like two steps forward, one step back - especially when the visibility dropped off in the afternoon. At least the afternoon gloominess brought freshЧитать далее
Ski Safari Day 3
9 января 2023 г., Италия ⋅ 🌧 0 °C
There was plenty of powder today but also pretty bumpy runs. Our accommodation was a step down to a dorm style set up with shared toilet and shower etc. Outside, however was the "set" of For Your EyesЧитать далее
Ski Safari Day 4
10 января 2023 г., Италия ⋅ ⛅ -8 °C
Today we completed the big loop around the Dolomites and returned to Alta Badia. A bit more detail: "The Lagazuoi circuit leads across canyons for 7.8km along the Armentarola slope". It was also ourЧитать далее
ПутешественникHooray for the Ski Al-bunnies! Your ski safari is not for the faint hearted!!! I probably would have been late for lunch and dinner! 😂
Freestyling
11 января 2023 г., Италия ⋅ ☁️ 1 °C
A final day on the slopes... We were back at base today so skiing was optional. It was now survival of the fittest: Elliot, Lara and yours truly.
At the peak of our powers before we forget half ofЧитать далее
Go West
13 января 2023 г., Германия ⋅ 🌧 9 °C
36 hours of transit, washing, airport hotel, transit. Plenty of time to study Genie plus stacking strategies!
Park hopper plus PLUS
14 января 2023 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ 🌧 15 °C
We had in our minds a leisurely few days of strolling around the parks, but a few things happened:
1. FOMO: that ugly beast again
2. Genie plus: another ugly beast. We don't like the concept of payingЧитать далее
Epcot and Magic Kingdom
15 января 2023 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ☀️ 7 °C
This was our big day! All the big ticket items across the two parks with the exception of 7DMT. First stop: Test track - "sorry folks it's down"! Quick to Frozen Ever After! Heather's step counterЧитать далее

It appears like you are suspended in space and you are all obviously enjoying it.
Perfect Disney Day
16 января 2023 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ☀️ 3 °C
Having hit the must dos it was now time to slow the pace... "just after this next genie plus hit, I promise!" Today we went to my favourite park, Animal Kingdom, and after the big three ticket itemsЧитать далее
ПутешественникI thought the true Star Wars fan would choose Hollywood Studios as their fave park?!? But AK is very special…
Galactic Starcruiser
17 января 2023 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C
Galactic Starcruiser was better than expected... And my expectations were very high. The theming and the food were excellent, but the whole vibe created by the staff was fantastic. It wasn't a show orЧитать далее
ПутешественникAwesome attire! I didn’t realise you had multiple costume changes! Can’t believe you fit it all in your luggage!
ПутешественникThanks Fi 🙂. We cut it pretty close. Our flight out of Iceland was on a budget ticket and we came in with <200g to spare on all the cases. No souvenirs from Iceland!
Heatwave
19 января 2023 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C
Today we checked out of the Starcruiser. It was 28 degrees so there was only one logical option: Blizzard Beach! We were given the VIP treatment coming off the Starcruiser so were allowed to check inЧитать далее
California Drivin'
20 января 2023 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C
We flew from MCO to LAX today. The new Clear Reserve system worked really well to get us through a disorganised airport full of people who know their rights and live to express them. We hired a carЧитать далее
ПутешественникCars did get a run. There were lots of family "discussions" about the playlists.
Bump n Grind
21 января 2023 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ☀️ 8 °C
Today we decided to tackle the Bump n Grind hiking trail in Palm Desert. We did more bumping than grinding and soon came to the group conclusion that the view at the top was not going to be worth theЧитать далее
Bouldering
22 января 2023 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ⛅ 7 °C
Our last full day of the trip and we went out with a bang. We went on a guided bouldering adventure back in Joshua Tree National Park. It was near zero cold initially but warmed up so we went fromЧитать далее
ПутешественникWhat a way to conclude your epic international adventure! Have a safe trip home!
Путешественникthey can keep this up at home.. Rohan goes indoor bouldering weekly at Nomads Annandale !
Any cricket left?
23 января 2023 г., Австралия ⋅ 🌙 12 °C
Well, we're back. It's always mixed emotions to be back home.. lots of cobwebs (both literal and metaphorical) will need to be brushed off, the dog will need to be collected (thanks Hugo!) andЧитать далее
