Travel wisdom

So I’m lying in bed in the amazing apartment we have in Omis and have decided to share some travel wisdom… Maybe I should title this: “how to stay married on your honeymoon” heh.

  1. Patience – for your travelling partner even if he’s your husband and he does epic things… Because he does lotsa good stuff too and leaving you behind in a foreign airport like Zagreb is forgivable -.- also for people and other cultures because they are putting up with your weird ass too!!!!
  2. Wifi/cellular access – you don’t need a tour guide, a map or miss out if you can get online. Seriously… I love google and I love google maps. That shit cray
  3. An appetite – there is no effking point being on a diet or not trying at least a bite of everything… You never know if you’ll ever get another taste! Eat everything and be adventurous!
  4. Good walking shoes – comfort over fashion people… I already have 4 bloody blisters and trust me, they ain’t fun
  5. A sense of direction – because going around in circles is a waste of time and you’ll end up frustrated and fighting! 
  6. A plan – it doesn’t need to be a 4056374 line spreadsheet complete with blurbs but you’ll need to determine if you want to shop or sightsee or go to museums ... A rough agenda or guide will go a long way. Ex; we took our uncultured asses to the British museum PURELY to look at mummy’s. In and out. Too easy.      
  7. Check if it’s a public holiday! – we never made it to borough market because it was closed when we went! God damn bank holiday! 
  8. GET A SELFIE STICK – that shit is amazing! And yes, uber Asian tourist 101 but if I counted the looks of jealousy when I used my selfie stick to get ridiculous pics no one else could in dizzying heights, that alone was worth the stigma of token Asian       
  9. Be brave – even if you didn’t plan to jump off a 15feet cliff into Ice cold waters, DO IT! You only live once! Make it a trip to remember!

Get a Fitbit – coz when else are you gonna track an easy 10,000 steps a day without trying?!  #thegohvustravel #lovecroatia

so the 3rd leg of our honeymoon sees us in Phuket where the weather is blisteringly hot and the food is amazingly good. Like, regardless of what TripAdvisor says, most cafes/restaurants will serve really decent yummy food just because this is a nation that gets good cooking and good food.

That said, this post ain’t about the food as the actual inspiration is the sight of an Indian woman flopping around the pool in a shower cap…. -.- now, I’m not being racist, anyone could be weird, Me included, but really? A transperant wrinkled plastic shower cap in the pool? WHHHYYYYY???!! Whoever said that was okay?????

Also a side note to acknowledge all the hard work of blogshop girls who paint on their faces in this crazy humidity and pose all over the place looking astoundingly crazy just to get a good pic. As a joke, I might try one of those poses in London just to embarrass the VU  to death. Heh

So here’s my commitment to blog about the many weird and wonderful things we are sure to come across over the next 4 weeks.

I’ll try and take sneaky pics – which I haven’t to date… Despite seeing what appeared to be a Chinese version of a Dutch milk maid crossing the roads at blanga street… To make up for it, here’s the husband being completely at ease with a hair dryer and a bright pink bikini top. Yup, that’s us drying our clothes before checking out. Lol 

   

Oh and of course….this one 

  
Nothing like good ole nipple liquid cleanser -.-
