Portugal was one of the original European countries that I was yet to go to and Jamie and I said we would always go. Lisbon was always the city of choice. For one reason or another we never got the chance to go. I was going to go in 2018 but I didn’t end up […]
I don’t really know why Copenhagen came into my mind to visit since I generally don’t go back to places I have already been to (there are a couple of exceptions), but I decided that’s where I wanted to go. I think part of it may be to do with the fact that Malmö was […]
As you may or may not be aware, Poland is a country I absolutely love visiting and if I could speak and understand Polish I would probably up sticks and move. Sadly that isn’t the case so I have to make do with visiting when I can. I decided earlier in the year that I […]
I decided that I still wanted to follow my pattern of going somewhere I hadn’t been before. I had been looking at different cities in Lithuania that Ryanair flies to so I could see if it would help me decide which one I should go to. I looked at Kaunas, Palanga and then Vilnius. Vilnius […]
I decided that after Maastricht I didn’t want to go back home on Sunday as that was such a short trip and a waste of my days off and a waste of being in Europe. I decided that I would look at the map to see where was close to Maastricht that was easy enough […]
For a number of years, Jamie and I went to the cinema in July to watch the homecoming concert of Andre Rieu on the Vrijthof in Maastricht. Since I started watching at the cinema, I have always wanted to go to a homecoming concert and put it on my bucket list. One December, Jamie and […]
Let me start this post by giving a bit of background as to why I chose Gothenburg. Back in 2003 I was living and working in London and had a job that paid pretty well and well enough that I could pay my bills and have money left over. I decided that I wanted to […]
I decided that once I had got my Christmas bonus from work I would use it to book some flights throughout the year and one of these was a trip to Rome. I had been to Rome in 2012, but this was a whistlestop tour whilst Jamie and I were on a cruise. I think […]
So, I have realised some 18 months later that I never wrote about my trip to Strasbourg and I figure that I should! Please forgive me if my memory is a bit hazy about it (I have been told it will happen as I am 40 and close to senility! Yeah… thank you like!). I […]
One of the reasons I decided I wanted to go to Prague was to see Andre Rieu. I booked the tickets and then didn’t book the flight tickets right away as I wanted a friend to come along with me. I managed to convince him and then I found the flight times and an Airbnb […]
