Amsterdam is a bicycling city, which is generally a good thing because it means less cars on the road and more people getting exercise. However, for the pedestrian it is not enjoyable… Cyclists and motorcyclists had their own lane, which took a bit of time to get used to for us as most of their … More Dam(n) Bicycles
We got married in Portugal in 2013 and we decided to revisit in the summer of 2017 to have the holiday we didn’t quite have last time. During our wedding week we didn’t get much time to appreciate the hotel and the surroundings, so we stayed in the same hotel this time round and made … More Portugal – 4 Years On
Albufeira has been on the to do list whenever we have been in the Algarve. This time round was not different. We caught another local bus, this time from the Senhora da Rocha bus stop next to the Intermarche. It was 4.15 Euros per person each way again, as it was to Portimao. We got … More Albufeira in July
One of our days out on our trip to Portugal was to the town of Portimao. We didn’t know too much about this place, but as it wasn’t too far away we thought we should pay it a visit. We took a local bus, the bus stop was right outside our hotel which was handy. … More Portimao – Lost in a Residential Town

So these are 10 things that make me happy… Travelling As a travel blogger, travelling clearly has to be at the top of my list of what makes … More 10 Things That Make Me Happy
Belton House is located not far north of Grantham, in Belton. On the day we visited there were horse trials taking place on the grounds. This meant it was a bit busier than usual and the constant drone of the commentators voice could be heard around the grounds, which meant it wasn’t as peaceful as it … More Belton House
We needed a night away from the stresses of what feels like everything at the moment. So we booked a night away at The Derby Conference Centre, in Derby funnily enough. The Derby Conference Centre does not have a good ring to it. They really should add ‘and hotel’ onto the end of it. It … More Another night in Derbyshire
When we visited the Angkor temples in Cambodia it was a tiring and exciting day filled with history and sightseeing. This photo was my favourite from the entire day, as it looked like a shot straight out of Tomb Raider or Indiana Jones. This temple was slowly being taken back by nature, as the green … More The Angkor Temples #mondaymotivation
