3 Ginger Snaps

All the hype about Paris is real.  Today is Monday and the vast majority of the museums, galleries and tourist haunts are closed – so we opted for parks and found a winner at the Palais du Luxembourg.  The park has loads to offer in terms of beauty, people watching, and play spaces and the…… Continue reading Selfie Stick

We had another glorious weather day in Paris (we can’t believe how lucky we have been with this beautiful, sunny, warm, summer-like weather) which was the perfect setting for our Paris city bike tour. We ventured onto the Metro (so clean and organized) and made our way to the meeting spot for the bike tour…… Continue reading Paris bike tour

We are going to try and play a little catch up now. In no particular…… Continue reading Turtles, turtles!

We know, we know. You hate radio silence from the Gingersnaps but the wifi in Sri Lanka was touch and go. We had an amazing time there and will update the blog with lots of stories and posts but just a quick update on where we are not. Copenhagen baby!!! Originally we planned to visit…… Continue reading Tivoli
