Frog Bikes Team Sky Rucksack Bag

Recently me and my husband had a short holidays out of England. Because here we already have cold evenings we decided to enjoy the last sun kisses in Italy. It was amazing 4 days city break. I am totally in love with italian food, culture and history so I wanted to enjoy it with my husband.



Instead of taking hand carry luggage my husband decided to take a backpack which I received from Frog Bikes. At first I thought that he not gonna fit everything in it what he needs to take, but it is really big bag than it looks. (backpack dimensions:  42*35*15cm).


Rucksack which I got is Team Sky Rucksack which includes backpack and cover set. We are very lucky that we didn't have to use cover, because we had amazing sunny and hot days in Italy.  The backpack designed for cyclist and made for British weather :) ha ha :) also I am very happy that this bag can wear ladies and gentlemen, and also kids too!


This bag is amazing because:
- Has adjustable padded straps with reflective strips (also two reflective strips at the front). It is comfortable to wear even if it  heavy
- Integrated wet kit bag
- Front pocket contains mobile phone holder, key ring and organiser. (It really helps when your rucksack is full of stuff)
- Side pockets suitable for a water bottle
- External name card for easy identification




















If you do cycling or like traveling as I do, check out Frog Bikes website for bikes and accessories.



Thanks for reading,

Exploring Sicily - Day three Cefalu

Good morning Sicily :) If you read my previous post, so you know that we went to sleep very late. We slept just few hours, and this day we have to move to another city :) Our plan was to go to Taormina, and then to Cefalu. We wanted to see this beauty:

But unfortunately it was too difficult to us. Why? If you have been in Sicily, you must know that there is mountains and mountains around :) and not easy to drive through mountains. (even in airport a man was surprised that three girls wants to rent a car and to explore Sicily. He said that it will be difficult to drive here. And then in rent car agency a guy he was also surprised that three girls renting a car to drive in Sicily. He said to be carefull)  And it was so high, sooo high and too much risky to drive a car for the girls without experience to drive in such ''roads''. When my friend saw where she has to drive, she got shock and started panicked. And we all  didnt know what to do. My friend said she not gonna drive any more in Sicily. And just she can drive :) she said the rest of the days we have to stay in Gardini Naxos :) Even she was afraid to drive to Cefalu. Where for us was waiting our apartment. But thanks to GPS we found a little bit longer way, but safe way how to drive to Cefalu. 

When we reached Cefalu we saw that our apartment is again on mountains,  and my friend said that she is not gonna drive there. That we have to leave our car and go by walk, to get a keys of apartment and to look around for easy way to drive car near apartment. So we paid for parking for 2 hours and when to find our apartment. But it takes time. At 1st it was not easy to go there :) and second we had to wait till a man will come to show apartment and then we saw that 2 hours is going to finish. But thanks to that man, he took my friend on his bike and dropped to take a car, and showed a way to drive till to apartment.
In the evening we went to the city to eat italian pizza :) and then Zzzz.... And in the morning we woke up with this view.. Amazing... 


After breakfast we decided to go in the city, to look around :) but.. we reached beautiful beach :)


We spend here almost half of the day and we got too much sun.. 


And good bye Cefalu. It was the most beautiful city. And definitely I want to come back here :) and now it's a time to go to Palermo....

Exploring Sicily - Day one Catania

Summer where are you gone? I like autumn, but I love summer when is hot :) I am missing these days so badly.. Especially a week in a heaven - Sicily. But I will start from the start. One my best friend decided to get married. So me and her sister made a surprise to her :) a gift for one week to Sicily before her weddings :) So we 3 girls packed our bags for adventures :)


We landed in Comiso, rented a car and moved to our first point - Catania. Our plan was for a week to see as much as we can, and off course to have fun together. Unfortunately we reached city in the evening, so we left out bags and when to look around.  But we were tired after flight, so we went to sleep early and in the morning we went to look Catania in the day light :)


It was very beautiful and sunny day :) and off course hot day :) but in the evening we moved to Giardini Naxos :) woop woop.. :)
