Liz and Rob are two Kiwis travelling around the world, doing their thing, getting into mischief the world over. They were in Australia but have since moved on (Australians smell funny, see).
They are currently in Europe (where the people smell a different kind of funny).
Over the past year since we moved to Britain, we’ve been visiting various film locations where different Harry Potter films were shot. I updated the list with new sights from the more recent films, however there’s still plenty of older ones we haven’t seen yet.
