Eco-Friendly Family Life
Following on from my adventures at Stonehenge and in Bristol, it was time to begin the journey north through England.
Myself and Dan hoped in my trusty rented Ford Fiesta and headed off from Bristol bright and early to take a walk through Britain’s history.

Exploring the United Kingdom and Ireland in depth has been on my bucket list for a long time.
So I was pretty psyched to be heading to England, Scotland and Ireland (both Northern and the Republic of) for a three week road trip during April – May of this year, in a way I’d never travelled abroad before – with a partner, in a car, without much planning.
2013 Marnie would never have considered travel without at least a daily itinerary and booked in accommodation in advance…

I thought I’d share with you a sort of “wrap up” or trailer video I roughly and quickly made about my time in Europe in 2013.
Such fun memories captured within this. Continue reading “Six weeks in Europe with Contiki Holidays”
Cruising around the Greek Islands is a dream for many, and I was really ecstatic I got to fulfil that dream at the end of my time in Europe. Continue reading “Visiting Mykonos and Kusadasi (on the coast of Turkey) while on a Greek Islands Cruise”

If I created a catchphrase for Amsterdam, it would be “Amsterdam: Not just sex and weed.”
Because that’s exactly what I thought. Yes, we walked through the Red Light District, past coffee shops, and had an experience at a sex show, but I also got to see the beautiful sights, the huge history, and eat some awesome food. Continue reading “Amsterdam: Not just sex and weed”
At 3571m above sea level, Mt Jungfraujoch in Switzerland had certainly climbed it’s way into my heart.
The “Top of Europe” as it is called, was THE place I had been most looking forward to visiting on this trip to Europe. Continue reading “Heading to the “Top of Europe”, Mt Jungfraujoch, in Switzerland”
The Austrian Tyrol region is a very green place, so I shouldn’t have been that confused as to why it rained the whole time we were there – it was the beginning of October when we were there.
The rain did cause a few problems for us, but it was also part of what made Austria so beautiful in my eyes – so lush and green, so I couldn’t be upset about the rain in the slightest. Continue reading “The weather shouldn’t stop you: Hofpgarten, Austrian Tyrol region”
