OTTAWA TO QUEBEC CITY | CANADIAN ROAD TRIP 2016

Miraculously we did not fall off the edge of the earth / into Niagara Falls (I just got too busy with work to give an update); we did make it out, and awoke to a chilly day in Ottawa, Canada's capital city.    When deciding where to go in Canada, my Mum and I weren't … Continue reading OTTAWA TO QUEBEC CITY | CANADIAN ROAD TRIP 2016

TORONTO TO NIAGARA | FLASHBACK FRIDAY | CANADIAN ROAD TRIP 2016

It's been a while since I last posted about our epic American/Canadian trip, so I thought it made sense to make it a throwback... I mean, it was April!

TOWERS, TOURS AND TICKETS | TORONTO | CANADIAN ROAD TRIP 2016

After a long, problem filled day, travelling from Dearborn (Michigan) to Toronto via Niagara Falls (blog post can be found here), our heads could not have hit our pillows more readily.

TRAPPED IN A SCIENCE FICTION MUSEUM | BERLIN | WEEKEND WANDERING

With a flight booked for mid-afternoon, we were well aware of making the most of our final day in sunny Berlin before we had to return to London; we got up, got dressed, took some selfies and made our way onto the U-Bahn in record time.  Topography of Terror  Our first stop, was the 'Topography Of … Continue reading TRAPPED IN A SCIENCE FICTION MUSEUM | BERLIN | WEEKEND WANDERING

NO SITTING DOWN | BERLIN | WEEKEND WANDERING

After our accidental 12 hour sleep, we awoke for our first full day in Berlin. We were pretty damn hungry seeing as we'd missed dinner the night before, so got up, got showered and dressed, then headed out onto the streets of Mitte, where we were staying.

WHY DO BAD THINGS HAPPEN TO GOOD PEOPLE? | BERLIN | WEEKEND WANDERING

Day 1 of our trip to Berlin.   After roughly 3 hours sleep, Naomi and I jumped (/slithered slightly unwillingly) out of bed and into plane appropriate clothing, before zipping up our suitcases, calling an Uber and arriving at Victoria station in London ready for a train down to Gatwick Airport in order to catch … Continue reading WHY DO BAD THINGS HAPPEN TO GOOD PEOPLE? | BERLIN | WEEKEND WANDERING

BUT, WE’VE JUST GOT HERE? | BERLIN | WEEKEND WANDERING

I mentioned in last Sunday's post that Naomi and I would be in Berlin this weekend. I wasn't lying. What I didn't imagine, was just how busy my working week would be, meaning that I would have zero time to do proper research or write any posts in the build up. Or that I would … Continue reading BUT, WE’VE JUST GOT HERE? | BERLIN | WEEKEND WANDERING

3 BORDER CROSSINGS, 2 DOLLARS AND 1 RAINBOW | DEARBORN TO TORONTO | USA ROAD TRIP 2016

After a morning of Ford filled fun, we continued our travels eastward, to Niagara Falls, ready to drop the car back and then get ourselves to Toronto.
