I may have mentioned this when I talked about Paris, but my passport expires in November and a lot of places in the world want you to have 6 months of validity from the day you enter otherwise you risk not being allowed in. I decided that I would try and get as much travel […]
I decided that 2023 would be a year filled with even more travel. When I was trying to decide where to go, Eurostar and Paris weren’t on my list of places to go. I was looking for flights and couldn’t really find any that stuck out to me. I was trying to get as much […]
The trip to Berlin this year came about because I was telling Duncan that he should travel more in Europe and that he should visit Berlin.
Back in March of 2020, I went to Milan as part of a wider trip that should have consisted of Georgia and Armenia too. That didn’t quite go according to plan due to a little thing called Covid. You can read about that visit here. Fast forward 30 months (or 2.5 years to you and […]
As you may have gathered from my previous posts, I have an interest in WWII and I try and go to places that have significance to the war.
I wanted to go to Dresden because of the strategic significance it played in the war. It had a big munitions factory and easy access to the railway. I also read that Dresden was rebuilt after the war and a lot of it is from post-war and not a lot pre-war. I wanted to go and see how true this was.
I think it was sometime back in 2020 when I saw Ryanair had introduced a new route from Stansted to Kosice in Slovakia. I thought since I had liked Bratislava that I would like Kosice. I decided I was going to book it once travel had opened up again (you know, Covid) and for some […]
Back in September of 2021 I finally managed to get to Gdansk. It had been several attempts before I was able to get here. You can read about there here. On that first trip, I tried to do as much as possible and I didn’t really spend a lot of time in Gdansk itself as […]
I’ll start this post off by saying that I had thought I had already done it. I had a look through and saw that it didn’t exist so I am making up for this now and thank goodness I have pictures that will help me remember what we did 4.5 years ago. I can’t believe […]
At the start of the year I was feeling very down in the dumps because of Covid (yeah, it’s mentioned again) and my travel plans being all awry and generally just Covid horridness. I had to work on my birthday which I generally try and not do – especially when they are 12 hour shifts. […]
I will start this post by saying that I have been to Warsaw and Kyiv and Chernobyl before. Warsaw was in 2018 and Kyiv/Chernobyl were in 2019. You can read my Warsaw post here. You can read about Kyiv and Chernobyl here. Back in March time, I got a gift from the Young Un of […]
