  • Don't you just loving being able to combine some of your favourite things together? Mine are being able to explore these tombs in the morning & then lay on the beach holiday in the afternoon with a cocktail. Can you see how blue the Mediterranean water is in the background? The bonus of being up early to explore was we were able to beat the crowds as well. #tombsofthekings #Cyprus #ilovehistory #visitcyprus #paphos #lppathfinders #yourshotphotographer #beautifuldestinations #amazingviews #neverstopexploring #history #discoverearth #adventuregirl #thegreatoutdoors #sarcoidosiswarrior #pacemakerwarrior #mediterranean #summerholidays
  • What your plans for the weekend? Even though this historical site is called Tombs of the kings, there was actually never any Kings buried here. The name came from how magnificent the tombs were and they were used & created for the wealthy. #tombsofthekings #Cyprus #ilovehistory #visitcyprus #paphos #lppathfinders #yourshotphotographer #beautifuldestinations #amazingviews #neverstopexploring #history #discoverearth #adventuregirl #thegreatoutdoors #sarcoidosis #pacemakerwarrior #defibrillator #tombs #ruins #pafos #Europe #historymemes #historialsite
  • Have you ever felt like Indiana Jones when exploring? I'm finally back on the road visiting the historical sites around Cyprus. I visited to the Tombs of the kings in Paphos this week & they were pretty amazing. They are underground tombs (empty now)that dated back to as early as the 300 BC & are cut into the native rock. They are spread along the coastline of the Mediterranean & have become one of my favourite archaeological sites. One of the locals was telling me he has some on his land underground.

  • #TBT Do you know that you can climb up the main pyramids (Sun & Moon) in Teotihuacan? I have to admit l was knackered when l reached the top of the stairs on both pyramids but you have the most amazing views from the top. If you closely at the picture you see one person that looks like an ant, it shows how high you climb. #mexico #teotihuacan #lppathfinders #yourshotphotographer #beautifuldestinations #amazingviews #neverstopexploring #history #discoverearth #adventuregirl #thegreatoutdoors #mexico_amazing #mexico_great_shots #sanjuanteotihuacan #pyramid #historymemes #ilovehistory #sarcoidosisawareness #pacemaker #defibrillator #bionicwoman #pyramidofthemoon #pyramidofthesun #travelblogger
  • #TBT Who else loves taking #sillyshots sometimes & not take life to seriously? After having #heartsurgery again last week & not going to plan. l finally feel happy that l can get out & about explore again. I would like to jump like this but just can't at the moment. However l can definitely be silly #smile & be out walking. This infront of the pyramid of the moon just before l climbed all those steps. I think my guide took at least 10 pictures before we got it right. #mexico #teotihuacan #pyramidofthemoon #lppathfinders #beautifuldestinations #amazingviews #neverstopexploring #history #discoverearth #adventuregirl #thegreatoutdoors #mexico_amazing #mexico_great_shots #mexico🇲🇽 #sarcoidosiswarrior #sanjuanteotihuacan #ilovehistory #archaeology #historymemes #pacemaker #sarcoidosis #pacemakerwarrior #defibrillator #bionicwoman
  • #tbt take back to Mexico!! Who else finds pyramids intriguing & fascinating at the same time? This is the pyramid of the moon at Teotihuacan. I took this after climbing the steep stairs on the the pyramid of the sun. Teotihuacan was a bucketlist item for me & definitely met my expectations. It was so surreal seeing these pyramids. #mexico #teotihuacan #pyramidofthemoon #lppathfinders #beautifuldestinations #amazingviews #neverstopexploring #lppathfinders #yourshotphotographer #pyramids #historymemes #history #mexico🇲🇽 #mexico_amazing #bucketlist #archaeology #sanjuanteotihuacan #mexico_great_shots #ilovehistory
  • Do you ever stop for 5mins & appreciate life & the people around you? It has been 6 months since l was diagnosed with an incurable heart condition & my life was turned upside forever. This week l head back to hospital for my 3rd heart operation & hopefully my last. If l have learnt anything through all of this, it's not to take anything for granted. Also, how much l appreciate the people around me taking care of me, like my amazing husband, family, friends & nurses. Sometimes we don't thank them enough for just being a part of your life. #gifted Jacket & cap :- @regattaoutdoors #englishheritage #greatbritain #lovegreatbritain #england #heritage #yourshotphotographer #lppathfinders #beautifuldestinations #amazingviews #neverstopexploring #hadrianswall #hadrianswallpath #northumberland_uk #londoner #northumberland #hike #trek #outdooradventures #adventuregirl #thegreatoutdoors
  • The only impossible journey is the one you never begin - Tony Robbins Life definitely shows us many roads some we take some we don't. Making us the people who we are today. Hiking along Hadrian's Wall is definitely one of the most interesting that l have done especially with all the forts along it. #hadrianswall #hadrianswallpath #lovegreatbritain #englishheritage #greatbritain #hiking #excitedtoexplore #lppathfinders #yourshotphotographer #beautifuldestinations #amazingviews #neverstopexploring #history #discoverearth #adventuregirl #northumberland #northumberland_pics #northumberland_uk #archaeology
