Emma's Bucket List

Ever wanted to go caving, without the danger?  After I read about Annette’s caving/tubing in Belize, I have wanted to try something similar…  During my time in Thailand, we were recommended by my uncle and some other ex-pats that we should try the John Gray’s Sea Canoe trip.  This was the one trip that everyone […]

Some time ago, I read about Archipelago in a blog about the Top 10 unusual restaurants in London… I checked out the website and knew immediately it had to be added to my gastronomic bucket list for the sheer WTF novelty value! I like to consider myself fairly adventurous, but the thought of eating scorpions, […]
