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 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 […]
Dear reader, I think you know what’s about to come for the start of the post. You guessed it: Covid stopped me going here in November 2020. Grrr to the damn thing. On Friday 12th November I got my booster Covid jab and I didn’t fare too well after it. I was thinking I shouldn’t […]
So… did you follow on from the last post where I said my travel life was a bit crazy? Let me tell you how crazy. I landed at 07:57 today and got the train at 09:27 and got to Peterborough at 10:49. I was back at mine around 11:30 and unpacked and repacked for this […]
I’m going to apologise retrospectively and in advance as the undertone of my last few blog posts have been that of Covid causing all sorts of issues for travel. Montenegro was another casualty of mine. I wanted to go here in March of 202 and I had so much planned in for the 10 days […]
If you ask any of my friends, they will tell you that one thing I have always wanted to do is pack a case and head to the airport and pick a destination. Marseille was just that. I decided since I wasn’t going to Newcastle (don’t worry young ‘un, it’s still banked for next year) […]
