things to see in Australia – 8 weird rock formations

Mr and Mrs Romance - Travel - Title Devil's marbles

Why is Australia so damn freaky?! We’ve travelled a fair bit around this amazing island continent and it has never failed to impress me with its weird-ass beauty. It’s the Cameron Diaz of countries: sometimes it looks like a class A model, other times it’s so strange, it just looks wrong. Early explorers didn’t have [...]

What to pack – essentials for a man’s suitcase

What to pack - essentials for a man's suitcase

I remember seeing something on TV once where a woman had her bag searched at customs. The officer commented on her packing skills, saying it was the neatest, most organized suitcase he’d ever seen. I’m not like that… but I’m not like Huckleberry Fin either. In the same way taking something apart is easier than [...]

Mr and Mrs Romance - Monday Travel - Whitehaven Title

When two people run a blog together, things aren’t always easy. When those two people are married, things can get even more complicated. One thing that we often have trouble with is deciding what to write about. This time, the ‘discussion’ was about Monday and Tuesday’s travel posts. Mrs Romance had the idea of publishing [...]

Friday drinks: the Harts Pub in The Rocks, Sydney

Mr and Mrs Romance - Friday drinks - the Harts Pub1

Has anyone noticed how microbreweries have become really popular in Australia recently? Is anyone really that happy about it? If someone asked me those questions, the answer would be a very loud ‘YES!’ One of the pubs doing great things with all things beer is the Harts Pub on the outer rim of the Rocks [...]

Mr and Mrs Romance - Sydney Eats - Parma Cucina title collage

Stuck for choices of where to eat? Can’t decide where you want to go? Well, Surry Hills is the worst for that – talk about culinary wood for the trees! This Sydney suburb has more eateries, restaurants and bars per square metre than any other area of Sydney. It was on a blogging friend’s recommendation [...]

Dive into 7 of the world’s best swimming pools

Growing up in England, the only swimming pools I knew of were the municipal ones, full of verrucas and floating Band Aids – and the outdoor one of my preschool. That’s right, my preschool had an outdoor pool. In England. Teachers would make us children learn to swim in this horrible chlorine-rich soup in the [...]

Mr and Mrs Romance’s guide to Port Vila on Efate Island, Vanuatu

Mr and Mrs Romance - Vanuatu - title pic

Tell me you don’t like the idea of a Pacific island holiday and watch me laugh in your face! Everyone does. There’s no theory, reason, or evidence that you could produce that would make me change my mind. I tell you what, let’s do it the other way round. Let me tell you some things [...]

Friday drinks – the Devonshire Street challenge

Mr and Mrs Romance - Friday Drinks - title collage

A pub crawl is a wonderful thing. You travel from bar to bar, pub to pub, a drink in each one… it’s a night of endurance, a night of attrition against sobriety. I saw something like this while in Tuscany. But as the Italian youths (god, I feel old using that word!) bar hop, they [...]

ANZAC Day – Lest We Forget

Mr and Mrs Romance - ANZAC Day collage

25 April is marked as Australia’s most important national day. Today is our remembrance day – ANZAC Day. It is our saddest day. The ANZACs – or the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps – began in 1915 when the Australian and New Zealand soldiers joined forces to fight in World War One. On this [...]
