mbevs travels

Cannot wait to head to the beach this weekend! Travel was great, but when you live in paradise there's nothing quite like home. (at Wategos Beach)

I can't believe I've been back from overseas a week already! I'm about to head out for a run around Lismore: a bit different from my runs in Paris! I've popped a new post on my blog http://mbevstravels.blogspot.com.au/2014/10/staying-motivated-and-why-i-run-muuve.html all about how I stay motivated with running, even when travelling #muuveeachother #muuve @muuve_fitness @joshpiotr - link is also in my bio. Check it out! (at La Seine)

Honey I'm home! Watching the sun rise this morning as we flew over the Northern Territory was magical. This pic was taken somewhere in regional Queensland. Holy doooly Australia is beautiful and I cannot wait to see my fam bam @majella_bevs (at Somewhere in Outback Australia)

Final run in Manchester before I head back to Australia (we fly out this evening). It was great to get out to Bramhall Park and stretch my legs out with my lovely cousin, we did a nice, easy, 5k. Bramhall Park is so pretty! Especially in autumn. Lots of trees changing colour, beautiful trails, geese (which I had to hurdle cause they wouldn't move). There's some new posts on my blog too featuring Cambridge and Paris (link in bio). Can't wait to see @majella_bevs back in Aus. I've missed my fam bam. (at Bramall Hall)

It's my last day in Paris - I'm so sad! I started it off with a run along the Seine and through Le louvre and Le Tuileries. It was dawn when I started and watching Paris come alive, the traffic grow, and the streetlights dim was magical. Yesterday we went up the centre Pompidou (conveniently located opposite our apartment) and took some pics - the view of the Eiffel Tower and Sacre Couer is incredible! Plus the centre Pompidou is home to some amazing modern art. Back to Manchester tonight then home to Australia on Wednesday. (three blog posts to be uploaded in coming days too - stay tuned)!

I was sitting in our apartment and started to hear some incredible piano music. Opening the windows I stuck my head outside and spied this man tinkering away: Chopin, Rachmaninoff, Beethoven, on a piano he has dragged from goodness knows where. I quickly snapped this photo of him as I leant out the window. Amazing. (at Centre Pompidou)

Morning runs in Paris featuring this famous bridge (with most of the locks removed). I ran along the Seine, through Le Louvre and Le Tuileries, all of which were almost deserted. It was strange to see Paris so empty, but lovely to have some peacefulness to start my morning. (at Pont des Amoureux - Love Lock Bridge)

A perfect Paris afternoon, from our apartment overlooking the Centre Pompidou (at Centre Pompidou)

So many beautiful farm-fresh varieties of apples at the Borough Markets, London. I could eat here every day for a year! (at Borough Market)

Morning run through Regents Park on our last day in London. We are off to Paris tomorrow! (at Regents Park and Primrose Hill)

Afternoon run in London (8-ish kilometres on 4:50/k) featuring giant birds. London definitely isn't my favourite city I've run in (exhaust fumes Ew) but Regents Park is lovely (at Regents Park and Primrose Hill)

Touristy as.

#Dyffryngardens: absolutely beautiful. They're located close to Cardiff and feature an imposing Victorian mansion and a myriad of interconnecting walled gardens, sweeping lawns, wild flowers snd the most amazing dahlias I've ever seen. New blog post on #cardiff (and another on Ireland) now on my blog http://mbevstravels.blogspot.co.uk/2014/10/a-whirlwind-weekend-in-wales_5.html (link in bio) (at Dyffryn Gardens)

This tree is perfection. 🌳🌳 Bute Park, Cardiff

Morning runs in Cardiff. Easy 5k through Bute Park. Now off for some breakfast an exploring. (at Cardiff Castle)

Easy morning run along the river in Dublin. 6km on 5:00/km with A+ views. I like this town. (at Dublin, Ireland)

We have arrived in Dublin! Currently at a pub, enjoying a local ale, bacon and cabbage (with potatoes to be sure). I'm liking this town (at Porterhouse Brewing Company)
