ZAGREB | DAY 2 | CROATIAN ROAD TRIP

When Hamilton and I planned the trip, we knew that we were going to be on a tight schedule, hence we had to organize it down to the last possible detail. The second day in Zagreb and the last day in Dubrovnik were the only two days where we could do what we wanted, when … Continue reading ZAGREB | DAY 2 | CROATIAN ROAD TRIP

LONDON TO ZAGREB | DAY 1 | CROATIAN ROAD TRIP

Having never been to Croatia or anywhere similar, I had quite a crude idea of what it was it going to be like. Whatever that initial idea was, it was wrong. The days we spent in Croatia were some of the most charming, beautiful and interesting I’ve ever had while travelling before. It's one of … Continue reading LONDON TO ZAGREB | DAY 1 | CROATIAN ROAD TRIP

MONKEYS, MUSEUMS AND MODERN ART | STOCKHOLM | WEEKEND WANDERING

Sweden is beautiful. In all senses. The people, the place, the food. I’m sure this is something I probably said about Norway last year, as I found Stockholm (surprise, surprise) to be almost an amalgamation of the different places I visited whilst road tripping around Norway. Due to work commitments, we only had 3 days … Continue reading MONKEYS, MUSEUMS AND MODERN ART | STOCKHOLM | WEEKEND WANDERING

CHEESE AND CLOGS | AMSTERDAM | WEEKEND WANDERING

Hallo! I am incredibly pleased to be reporting back with the last, but as always, not least of my time in the Netherlands. I had such a lovely trip, it's great to relive it. As I've said, it was in December last year, just before Christmas and I saw a good friend of mine. These … Continue reading CHEESE AND CLOGS | AMSTERDAM | WEEKEND WANDERING

BOND AND BAKERIES | ROTTERDAM | WEEKEND WANDERING

That's right. Bond. As in, James Bond. I am a huge Bond fan, and take every opportunity to see a spectacle put on in it's favour. My friend Karolina knows this, and found out there was an exhibition on all about designing 007 in Rotterdam, so we got the train over there. It was a temporary … Continue reading BOND AND BAKERIES | ROTTERDAM | WEEKEND WANDERING

CHRISTMAS, CULTURE AND CAKE | AMSTERDAM | WEEKEND WANDERING

In December of last year (2014), I took a trip to see my very good friend, Karolina, who lives in Amersfoort. As she is an excellent and incredibly lovely person, she welcomed me into her home and then showed me around. Now, I know Christmas travels aren't always at the front of people's minds as Christmas … Continue reading CHRISTMAS, CULTURE AND CAKE | AMSTERDAM | WEEKEND WANDERING

LILLEHAMMER | NORWEGIAN ROAD TRIP

Right. Last one. I'm writing this one on a train, in front of other people so as not to get emotional. The last couple of days were funny ones. I was really excited for Lillehammer, but I can't really say much about it. We had an awful journey from Trondheim to there and so arrived … Continue reading LILLEHAMMER | NORWEGIAN ROAD TRIP

ATLANTIC ROAD | NORWEGIAN ROAD TRIP

Aka. THE ATLANTIC ROAD. After our morning in Alesund, we continued on to the Atlantic Road. With our diversion to the atlantic road, it took about 6.5 hours to reach our destination, so it was a bit of a hike. But, it was worth it. We did consider flying around Norway, or getting the train, but … Continue reading ATLANTIC ROAD | NORWEGIAN ROAD TRIP

ALESUND | NORWEGIAN ROAD TRIP

Having just been through the longest tunnel in the world, our expectations were set pretty high. Alesund did not disappoint. To be honest, in comparison to the other cities we visited, Alesund was a pretty last minute addition, but I’m so, so glad it was. I knew barely anything about it, but I saw it was … Continue reading ALESUND | NORWEGIAN ROAD TRIP

THE LONGEST TUNNEL IN THE WORLD | NORWEGIAN ROAD TRIP

As promised, the story of the longest tunnel in the world (The Laerdal Tunnel - 24.5km long). When I say story of, I obviously mean, us driving through it. I promise this write up will be as exciting as, if not more exciting than that journey. We started the journey like any other. Hopped into … Continue reading THE LONGEST TUNNEL IN THE WORLD | NORWEGIAN ROAD TRIP
