Been missing Korea a lot so decided to treat myself to some delicious citrus tea from Jeju. Also bought myself a nice Yuzu one too. Can't wait to have a cup when I get home!
Photo of jars labelled Jeju Hallabong Tea. The price label below says £4.25.

Whoops, somehow planning a trip somewhere new turned into booking more flights to Paris.
Meme with the guy looking at a girl in the red dress. The guy is labelled me, the girl he's holding hands with says "Countries I've not visited yet" and the girl in red says Paris.

Bought myself a food slicer so I can thinly slice things safely because I often accidentally injure myself when chopping.

As you will see, I immediately managed to injure myself with it.
Photo of a food slicer. It's being used with a fork holding the potato. The hand holding the fork has a bandage thumb.

Sting rays at sunset.

Had a lovely time just chilling and watching the rays swim around while I waited for the sunset. Sadly the clouds got in the way but for a couple minutes there was a lovely ray of light.

Photo of several sting rays in water. Behind them are several wooden poles jutting out of the water and a swing in the water. The sky is cloudy but there is a single ray of pink light coming from the clouds.

This was the four that I had for lunch today to give an idea of size.
Photo of a white plate with four soft tacos on it. All the tacos have lots on onion in the top and appear to be a variety of different meats.

Good thing I didn't come to Cancun for the beach!

Apparently this "isn't that bad" compared to further south.

Luckily I'm here for the food and the Mayan ruins.

I didn't tell my dad I was going to Mexico and just sent him a photo of tacos.

He knows me well enough to know that if I'm sending a photo of food, I'm in the country that make that food.

Photo of a plate with two tacos on it. Below is a message from "Dad" saying "Pray tell me your not in Mexico" with the response "I mean I could... But then I'd be lying"

I spent the day sailing around the bay of Kotor so no need to daydream!

Although I have been eyeing up a Caribbean cruise for a while now so maybe I'll finally go on one next year.
Photo taken from a boat showing a small island with a church and some trees. I'm the background is a green tree covered slope heading towards the water. The water in the foreground is churned up, showing that it was taken from a moving boat.

Was pleasantly surprised to find so many cats in Kotor, along with a cat museum! Definitely the highlight of my Montenegro day trip.

✈️🗺️ #TravelAddicts
Photo of a cat sitting on a stone staircase. There is an iron handrail in front with a curl that frames the cat. It is a white cat with some orange and black patches on the back and head.

Did I travel to Italy just to eat some of my favourite spaghetti?

Yes, yes I did.

Was it worth it? 100%

I can't get enough of Spaghetti all'Assassina.

✈️🗺️ #TravelAddicts
Photo of a white plate with spaghetti. There is a lot of white cheese on top. The cheese is very soft so it looks more like cream. The spaghetti looks very crispy, almost burnt.

I had a fantastic day and a half in Nantes, highlight was definitely getting to see all the really interesting animal machines.

They were fascinating!

The château (and history museum in it) was also brilliant.

✈️🗺️ #TravelAddicts
Photo of large mechanical elephant. It is made of multiple moving parts has a platform on the back for passengers. A man is walking on the ground next to it giving you an idea of scale (he looks about the height of the knee). To the left you can see what looks like a carousel ride.

Today I finally got the chance to visit the Isle of May to see the puffins and it was absolutely incredible. So many puffins on the cliff and flying around above our heads. Got to see lots of other seabirds and a couple seals too.

Now to sort through all my photos!

#TravelAddicts ✈️🗺️
Photo of a puffin standing on a rock. The puffin has both wings extended and looks like it either just landed or is about to fly off. The background is blurred but is a pale white colour and it suggests it could be cliffs or more rocks.

The waterfall was fully flowing but still lots of ice at the bottom.
Photo of a waterfall. There are cliffs on either side and a bridge crossing the waterfall. At the base there is a lot of ice and water.

I just really enjoyed wandering around. It's not too big and it's fun to just explore. It is really, really windy there so just keep that in mind, especially when on the city walls!
Photo of me with my hair being blown all around my face. I'm standing in front of wall at head height. Behind me, there is a gap in the wall where you can see the ocean. It's a clear, blue sky.

Was not expecting to find art by one of my favourite artists in Ottawa so this was a lovely surprise!

Photo of a deer sculpture of the wall of a building. The deer of made out of multiple pieces of trash layered to create the image. At the bottom right of the artist's signature, Bordalo II.

When in Canada...

I don't drink coffee though so got a delicious blackcurrant lemonade instead.

Got some Timbits too to try.

#traveladdicts ✈️🗺️
Photo of a clear takeaway cup with a red drink inside. The cup says Tim Hortons in it. In the background, you can see blurred words above a shop that also say Tim Hortons.

When the rain finally stopped in Rhodes, I was able to visit the harbour and view the pillars representing where the Colossus of Rhodes potentially stood.

The one in the foreground represents one leg and on the other side you can see a matching pillar for his other leg.

✈️🗺️ #TravelAddicts
Photo of a harbour area. In the foreground of a pillar with a statue of a small deer on top of it. Across the water on the other side is a tower. Next to the tower, a bit hard to see, it's another pillar with a statue. There are some low buildings. The sky is lovely and blue.

Took me several days, but finally ordered a Greek salad today for lunch. It was delicious, and nice to eat something a bit healthier after all the gyros I've been eating.

✈️🗺️ #TravelAddicts #Travel
Photo of a salad in a black bowl. You can see cucumber, green pepper, tomato and red onion. There is a large block of feta cheese on the top. Herbs are scattered on top of the cheese and around the edge of the bowl.

The rain finally stopped this afternoon so I was able to explore the Old Town of Rhodes properly then climb up to this beautiful viewpoint just before sunset.

Photo of some grass and rocks overlooking the sea. In the distance is the sun hidden behind some clouds just before sunset. The clouds are illuminated by the sun.

Managed to brave the weather a bit to explore a little bit of Rhodes but now back in my room to dry off from the storm.

Managed to see some cool waves and got the streets to ourselves though!

✈️🗺️ #TravelAddicts
Photo of me standing on a pebbled street. On either side are walls with multiple archways. There is a Greek flag on the right building. The ground is wet from rain and I have a wet jacket.

Well, this isn't the weather I was hoping for in Greece!

Luckily there is a good Greek restaurant just down the street from where I'm staying so I'll at least still get to enjoy Greek food!
Screenshot of an extreme weather alert for the Dodecanese region. The first half is in Greek then it repeats in English saying severe weather until the afternoon of the 2nd of April.

I didn't get a chance to visit Fisherman's Bastion last time I visited Budapest, and was absolutely blown away by how beautiful it is!

✈️🗺️ #TravelAddicts
Photo of fisherman's bastion in Budapest. There is a large archway with steps leading down. At the bottom, there are steps leading up again on the other side. The wall of the right has a series of columns and gaps for windows. There is a small turret at the top of the other stairs on the left side. The steps continue downwards towards a grassy area. In the background you can see a tiny bit of the river.

Here are my Green photos! #TravelAddicts #TopTravePics #Green

None are actually from Ireland, but too late now to change them! Two from Korea, (field and welcome sign), one from Wales (rocks with seaweed on them) and one from Scotland (mossy carpet)

I discovered I have lots of photos of moss.
Photo of a green farm field with a dirt path in front of it. A young boy wearing a black jacket and turquoise clothes is riding along it on a bike. In the background are rows of what could be crops but it's too distant to tell. Photos of rocks covered in large amounts of green seaweed. It looks like moss. Photo of a stone wall with some ivy hanging down. There is a welcome sign that looks like it is made of grass and above that two words in Korean. I don't know what they say, but potentially also welcome. Photo of lots of lumps on the ground covered in large amounts of moss. You can't tell if it's rocks or just lumps of earth as the moss covers the whole ground like a carpet.
