In 2019, we took advantage of the August bank holiday to spent an extra long weekend in Moscow. This was far from my first visit, but was Wally's first visit in well over a decade, so in hindsight perhaps we should have stayed for longer... Although as with any...
Our Travels
Fancy going through all of our past travels? You’ve come to the right place!
Visiting the Lasithi Plateau and the Diktaean Cave
The Lasithi Plateau is most certainly a must-visit place if you're in Crete. Located between Heraklion and Agios Nikolaos, the plateau is visited by many bus tours and tourist groups daily, and is a popular destination, primarily for the Diktaean Cave, located in...
Knossos Palace and Heraklion, Crete
Visiting Knossos Palace and the city of Heraklion For this particular part of our trip, we've put together a separate post as there is quite a lot to see and quite a few photos we'd like to share from our day trip to Knossos Palace and Heraklion. As mentioned in our...
A long weekend in Gascogne, Toulouse and surroundings
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 trip across the Pond… A few days in New York…Day Four
Day Four For our last day in New York, we had a more relaxing morning. We managed to find a pub in the financial district where we could leave our luggage, grab a quick bite, and then spent some time walking around the 9/11 memorial, before heading to Brooklyn.9/11...
A trip across the Pond…A few days in New York… Day Three
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...
