We had heard a lot about Bondi Beach over the years and all of it good stuff. It was the only beach around the Sydney area we had properly heard of, so when we visited Sydney we thought we would have a look at it, even though it was Australia’s winter. We bought a return … More Bondi Beach
2015 has been an enjoyable year for me and the wife. Our main adventure was a 2 week trip travelling around Italy. It was on my to do list for a long time, so I was very happy to achieve it! We started in Milan, made our way down to Rome, then to the Amalfi coast, before heading … More Memories and Expectations 2015 to 2016
This year was our second visit to Lincoln Christmas market. When we visited in 2011 the roads were very busy and the market was absolutely rammed! There were so many people that pathways had to be closed off and we were shepherded round the centre like cattle, in order to get everyone round safely. We barely … More Christmas in Lincoln

It took quite a bit of time to find the hostel I was staying at. I was told to keep my eyes peeled for … More Niagara Falls…living in a ghost town
We only had two nights in Rome, so that meant only the one full day to cram in the sights. Our hotel was only a ten minute walk from the Vatican so we were able to check that out on the day we arrived, as well as Castel Sant’Angelo. Both of these sights have a … More One day in Rome
For our 2nd wedding anniversary we stayed on British shores and had a seaside break in Great Yarmouth. It was here and Scarborough that my grandparents visited many times. Scarborough is also a favourite of ours, but alas, we didn’t think much of Great Yarmouth. We stayed in a really well located b&b near the … More Great Yarmouth – not as nice as it should be
On a long drive back from a weekend away on the east coast we broke the journey up by having the afternoon in Cambridge. I had visited the city before back in 2006 when I toured the country on my first travelling adventure. I was intrigued to see if the city had changed much in … More A brief stop in Cambridge
I travelled the huge country of Canada from east to west, but in my opinion Victoria stands out as the best city I visited. It has everything in a city that I love. There’s the harbour that dominates the most beautiful part of the city. It has spectacular views that lead out to the sea, … More The Britishness of Canada – Victoria
