Perfect for the Weekend – Copenhagen
Denmark has a reputation of not being one of the most cheapest places to visit, but when flights are at an all time low there isn’t a better time to head to Copenhagen for the weekend. Plus combine it with the 20 minute train journey to Malmö, Sweden and you can easily visit two countries in one […]
#HiddenGemsLondon: Trinity Buoy Wharf
Today, after fourteen years living in London, I took my first ride on the Docklands Light Railway. Why has it taken me so long? Simple, THERE IS NO DRIVER. Recently, I read about Trinity Buoy Wharf – a place with art installations which looked right up my street. Only problem is the nearest transport link […]
48 hours in Vilnius, Lithuania
9 days travelling across the Baltic States with such a busy itinerary it’s evident that we may only spend a day or two in each country, the capital city always been visited. I’m sure some people will criticise but on such a short amount of time it’s hard to visit the smaller towns and beauty spots without […]
London Walks: Street Art
Sorry for the absence! I changed jobs in March and due to a pre booked trip to Australia in April all of my holiday allowance was pretty much used up. I have been on a little road trip round Sicily, which I will post about shortly but other than that I’ve just been reacquainting myself with […]
Lille, France
Since spending my 30th birthday (mainly drunk) in Budapest with a wonderful set of friends I vowed I would spend future birthday’s abroad. Since, I’ve been lucky enough to spend my birthday in Singapore, Brisbane, London, Pisa/Florence, Naples and this year I spent it in Lille. Lille is only 1hr 20 mins from St Pancras […]
48 hours in Vienna
Our train from Krakow pulled into Wien Westbahnhof right on time at 6.51am. Check in at Kolping Wien Zentral wasn’t until 2pm…. Reception told us there was no chance of an early check in (maybe we should have booked in at a hostel instead) but they did have a locked luggage storage room. So it’s […]
Paris – Best Bits and then some…
J’adore Paris! Or is that too much of a cliché?! Just over two hours journey on the Eurostar from London St Pancras and with tickets as little as £59 (if bought way in advance), Paris should be on everyone’s visited list. It’s on my ‘visited’ list erm, five times. First time I went on tour with the […]
Berlin – Best Bits
Berlin is one of my favourite cities. My first visit was back in August 2010 when a group of us spent a few days there at the beginning of a 10 day European trip. We then went to Prague by train, which is only 5 hours away and tickets are inexpensive (compared to train travel in […]
Iceland – Reykjavik: Eats & Drinks
A little apprehensive about the costs of eating and drinking in Reykjavik we proceeded with caution. I came armed with pages of recommendations I had found researching on the internet. A few sites I found helpful: For me Wikitravel is always a good starting point. The way it is laid out is simplistic and easy for the […]
Iceland – Reykjavik: Things to do
The central touristy part of Reykjavik is fairly small and easily walkable. THE SUN VOYAGER We started our day exploring the city by walking part of the coastal path. This beautiful structure ‘The Sun Voyager’ is just yards away from our hotel along the path. HARPA CONCERT HALL This is the next sight along the […]
