BVIs: Check. Next.
After a few nights in Cane Garden Bay, our favourite spot on Tortola, we headed to Jost Van Dyke to catch the ‘bubbly pool’ that we missed last year. A very cool spot indeed and the conditions were perfect to…

Revisiting some of our Favourites in the BVI
We’ve been working on visiting some of our favourite spots in the British Virgin Islands over the past week or so and next week are targeting a few places where we didn’t really get to explore adequately last year. So…
Unwinding in the Islands
We have mostly recovered from our sleep deprivation on the long haul down to the islands and have been enjoying the chance to swim again in the clear blue water. After getting the boat back up to snuff and taking…

Les Iles de la Madeleine
We have thoroughly enjoyed our time in Les Iles de la Madeleine and are really glad we made the trip. It is a very unique spot and a popular summer travel destination. We spent the bulk of our time…
