In late June/early July 2019, just when a heatwave hit London, we left the capital for a friend's wedding in Toulouse. Little did we know that it was even hotter in France! In total, we were there for three days- the first was the wedding itself, and the rest of the...

A few days in Prague on holiday
In 2018, we took a few days of work and escaped to Prague for some sightseeing, some Christmas markets and Christmas shopping! This was our first trip to Prague, and after this trip- most certainly not the last. For those that are trying to work out or plan their next...
A week in Paris
In September 2018 we were invited to a friend's wedding just outside Paris. Instead of just going for the weekend, we decided to make a longer trip of it, and visit this wonderful city for a week. We were incredibly lucky with the weather as well, it was very warm and...

Day 3 Our third day was quite busy, but given it was our last full day we decided to make the most of what we hadn't yet seen. We started of with some bagels and lox (it had to be done!), and then made our way to the Morgan Library and museum, followed by the Whitney...
A trip across the Pond…A few days in New York… Day Two
Day 2 On our second day in New York, we went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art (or just the Met), then spent the rest of the day discovering New York by foot, taking it slightly more slowly than the previous day! The Met The Met was founded in 1870 and now presents...
A trip across the Pond…a few days in New York… Day One
Arriving in New York After arriving at JFK, having somehow managed to get a little bit of shuteye after a ridiculously early start to the day, the first task was to work out how to get to the city center on the subway. There is a very useful train connecting all the...
A trip across the Pond… a few days in New York
In early January 2018, Wally had a work trip to Washington for a few days, and to make the most of the eight hour flight time, decided to extend the transatlantic trip and visit Philadelphia and New York. Feeling somewhat left out, I looked up flight times and...
