Welcome

Our travel blog covers a world bursting with beauty, history, culture, natural wonders and is full of emotion. Despite our travels over the past 30+ years we only seem to scratch the surface. The more we travel the more we realise the endless opportunities there are to broaden our minds.

Taking in the Sights is not just our travel blog, it is also a journal of our travels over time. Come in and stay a while and we’ll share it with you.

The views, opinions and photography are our own and based on our experiences and knowledge gathered during our travels, unless of course we say otherwise.

Hopefully, we can inspire and tempt you to visit destinations that are new to you. After all it is a big world out there.

We would love to hear from you and if you want to be kept up to date with new material then please subscribe by leaving your email at the bottom of the page.
