Watching the Dolphins cruise by #sketching #sketchingnowwatercolour #beachgetaway #bythesea #aussiebeaches When helpful wildlife saves you the trouble of having to peel your citrus...#homegrown #organic #fruit_trees  #inthegarden #homegrownproduce #weekend_gardening #growninmybackyard  #lemonpeel #lemons #pleasetellmeitsnotarat #weirdgardening There's a new story up on the blog.  www.nottaholiday.com  Sometimes the best stories...the ones you remember longer than when everything went to plan...the ones you retell over and over..are the ones where it all went wrong.  #accommodationfail #emergencylights #sicily #notta_holiday #airbnb #blunderinginthedark #accidentshappen #ayearontheroad  #italy #guesthouse #gapyearadventure #watercolor #sketch #wedontreallylooklikethis #marcopolo the first rays of sunlight hit the cliffs across the bay in Reykjavik, Iceland. The  clear light amplifying the colours.  #reykjavik #iceland #cliffs #snow #mountains #nottaholiday #ayearontheroad #scandinavianlandscapes #icelandscenery #earlymorning #traveldrops #redrocks #bluewater When you need to find the "real", get down to a market.  The souk at Agadir, Morocco.  Story on the blog.  #morocco #agadir #markets #foodtourism #food_markets #freshproduce #realtravel #notta_holiday #souk #taginemarocain The beautiful Maypoles dotted all around Austria. ..can't believe its been a year.  Time is going way too fast for my liking.  If you're thinking if visiting Hallstatt we recommend staying across the lake at #Obertraun.  Out of the hustle but close enough to quickly visit for those wonderful photos.  #haushepi was our pick....cant go wrong there.  #austria #spring #maypoles #hallstatt #austrianalps #traditions #localtraditions #notta_holiday #beginnerblogger #rituals #pagan
