After a long day of walking, we drove into central Tallinn for a meander around the old town. We were incredibly lucky with the weather - cold but not too cold for a wander. Even the bursts of rain timed themselves perfectly, appearing only as we went inside. OLD TOWN Its exceptionally pretty and really … Continue reading TALLINN | DAY 4 | BALTIC ROAD TRIP

RIGA | DAY 1 | BALTIC ROAD TRIP
Apologies for the radio silence but its been a bit of a crazy month. I went home to see my folks (and dog), then jumped on a plane to Riga, where Hamilton and I started a road trip around Estonia, before returning to Latvia. Following on from that, I flew back to London and within … Continue reading RIGA | DAY 1 | BALTIC ROAD TRIP
FREE FERRIES AND SECRET CAFES | AMSTERDAM DAY 1 | WEEKEND WANDERING
Considering its only a 45 minute plane ride away and a good friend of mine lives there its pretty much a travesty that I hadn't visited Amsterdam since 2015. Though judging by the title of this post, you've probably figured out that I finally managed to return to the land of cheese and beer... Last … Continue reading FREE FERRIES AND SECRET CAFES | AMSTERDAM DAY 1 | WEEKEND WANDERING
PARIS IN AUTUMN | WEEKEND WANDERING
Shred the missing posters. Stand down the news. We are still alive and in fact, very well. So well, that we've managed to make a 13 minute video of a 4 day jolly in Paris. The leaves were on the ground. Rain fell from the sky. Cold shrouded us. It was autumn and it was … Continue reading PARIS IN AUTUMN | WEEKEND WANDERING
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
A WEEKEND IN MUNICH
Over the past month we've been posting about our Christmas Trip to Munich; something we highly recommend everyone experiences! We've written in detail on our experiences whilst we were there already, but I thought it might be helpful to give you a mini overview of everything else - where we stayed, how we got about, … Continue reading A WEEKEND IN MUNICH
MUNICH RESIDENZ AND THE ENGLISCHER GARTEN | CHRISTMAS IN MUNICH
After our unfortunate attempt to visit Nymphemburg Palace (read about it here), we were very excited about seeing the Munich Residenz, which was previously a Royal Palace. This time, it was open and we actually made it inside, which was a good start. Ok, there's potential we walked around the building a couple of times … Continue reading MUNICH RESIDENZ AND THE ENGLISCHER GARTEN | CHRISTMAS IN MUNICH
THE ART DISTRICT | MUNICH
I still can’t believe quite how much we managed to fit into our short time in Munich, which was in early December 2015; visiting (closed) palaces, the science and technology museum, Christmas markets, beer halls and more. Amazingly, including this one, there are two posts to go just on the subject of what we did! … Continue reading THE ART DISTRICT | MUNICH
AN UNSUCCESSFUL AFTERNOON | MUNICH
With only 3 days in beautiful Munich, we decided to conquer as many tourist spots as we possibly could. Hence in one afternoon, we jumped on a train with the intention of visiting the BMW Museum, the Olympic Park AND Nymphemburg Palace. Perhaps a little ambitious, but nothing we haven't done before. First things first, logistics. … Continue reading AN UNSUCCESSFUL AFTERNOON | MUNICH
