With a slight scent of horses still about us, we grabbed a cab (much to the surprise of our hotel reception) up to Lake Louise from Banff, which was more hair raising than expected... Number 136. So, apparently it's rare for people to take a taxi from Banff to Lake Louise. I'm still not 100 percent … Continue reading HIKING IN LAKE LOUISE | WAIST DEEP IN SNOW | CANADIAN ROAD TRIP 2016
HORSE RIDING IN BANFF | “CASPER THE FRIENDLY HORSE” | CANADIAN ROAD TRIP 2016
After a long day of flights, hikes and country music, ending in a damn good sleep in a hotel in Banff, we woke up ready for more... We got up bright and early, getting straight back into our active wear (as you do in Banff) and made our way over to the stables, which are … Continue reading HORSE RIDING IN BANFF | “CASPER THE FRIENDLY HORSE” | CANADIAN ROAD TRIP 2016
MONTREAL TO BANFF | “ALRIGHT FOR SOME” | CANADIAN ROAD TRIP 2016
We left for the airport bright and early, arriving at just the right time to check in for our flight to Calgary - we would usually check in ahead of time, but hadn't stressed too much about it for once. It wasn't until we reached the departure gate that I realised this could be any kind of … Continue reading MONTREAL TO BANFF | “ALRIGHT FOR SOME” | CANADIAN ROAD TRIP 2016
LOVE, ART, FASHION (AND THAT WAS JUST THE HOTEL) | MONTREAL | CANADIAN ROAD TRIP 2016
We left our lovely apartment in Quebec City bright and early (*tears*), and after a fair amount of kerfuffle involving finding our rental car in the car park, a parking inspector and some steep hills, we made it out of the windy streets and back on to the highway as we headed for our next destination... … Continue reading LOVE, ART, FASHION (AND THAT WAS JUST THE HOTEL) | MONTREAL | CANADIAN ROAD TRIP 2016
THE CHILLY CHARM OF QUEBEC CITY | CANADIAN ROAD TRIP 2016
After a somewhat lacklustre time in Ottawa, my Mum and I were ready for something different. Thankfully, Quebec City did not disappoint. Yes, it was cold. Yes, it was hilly. And yes, it was worth it. https://www.instagram.com/p/BEmeK7OELe5/?taken-by=travelteatv By the time we got to Quebec City and into our (gorgeous) apartment, the sun was going … Continue reading THE CHILLY CHARM OF QUEBEC CITY | CANADIAN ROAD TRIP 2016
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! Sorry for taking so long; there is so much more story to be told, and a lot of truly amazing (genuinely once in a lifetime) places to … Continue reading TORONTO TO NIAGARA | FLASHBACK FRIDAY | CANADIAN ROAD TRIP 2016
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. Thankfully the hotel was nice, and we were able to climb into our beds without issue. We slept well and before we knew it, were wandering the … Continue reading TOWERS, TOURS AND TICKETS | TORONTO | CANADIAN ROAD TRIP 2016
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. We'd noticed a health food cafe just down … Continue reading NO SITTING DOWN | BERLIN | WEEKEND WANDERING
