If you go to Athens (or anywhere in Greece, really) you must promise me that you’ll try Gyros. It’s a delicious, wonderous food.
Now that’s been said, I’ll move on. Continue reading “Getting fined in Athens, Greece”
The tourist traps of London, England
Think of typical London tourist “must-dos”, and what do you come up with?
Hyde Park? Buckingham Palace? Photo with a red telephone box? Ride a red double-decker? Big Ben? London Eye? Visit Harrods? Continue reading “The tourist traps of London, England”
Amsterdam: Not just sex and weed
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”
Heading to the “Top of Europe”, Mt Jungfraujoch, in Switzerland
At 3571m above sea level, Mt Jungfraujoch in Switzerland had certainly climbed it’s way into my heart.

The weather shouldn’t stop you: Hofpgarten, Austrian Tyrol region
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”
One night at Oktoberfest: Munich, Germany

Who doesn’t dream of taking a gondola ride in Venice?
One thing that’s been on my bucket list for a while was to ride a gondola in Venice, aka The Floating City.
While usually known as a ‘wet’ location, due to it’s many canals (hundreds of them), it was wetter than usual when we visited – it was rainy and dreary all day – but perfect to me. Continue reading “Who doesn’t dream of taking a gondola ride in Venice?”
Rome, Italy: The other City of Love?
Rome. Roma.
Some people say Paris is the City of Love, but I reckon Rome could give it a run for its money. Continue reading “Rome, Italy: The other City of Love?”
The colours of Barcelona, Spain
Barcelona – Wow.
What a wonderful place with such a life about it, beautiful food and gorgeous architecture wherever you look.
Our first night in Barcelona was spent in the city’s Gothic Quarter – which was swarming with people due to the annual La Merce Festival being on (which we had no idea about). Continue reading “The colours of Barcelona, Spain”
