A Bologna B&B

Don’t judge a book…………….. A city with the oldest university in the world. Full to the brim with the young, bold and beautiful students. November in Italy is a beautiful time to visit. The sun has been shining, the skies mostly blue, with a bit of rain and it’s the perfect month to visit other…

Sharm El Sheik

What a relief it was to get out of chaotic Cairo. As I said in my blog which you can read here, Cairo is great for a day or two maximum, but definitely not somewhere for rest and relaxation which we always seem to need. Work is quiet for us both in January so it’s…

Pienza & Bagno Vignoni, Tuscany

We came away for a little snippet of relaxation, it was the other half’s birthday and his sister had come to stay for a week so we decided to take him on a magical mystery tour and started off in Bagno Vignoni with a population of only 300 people. A medieval village in San Quirico…

Cairo Chaos!

One of busiest cities in world. and definitely the busiest city I’ve ever visited. With a population of almost 22 million in Cairo and the outskirts, no wonder! The history of the City is almost 4500 years old, and there’s a lot of it, and it’s fascinating. But, 24 hours was more than enough time…

Los Cabos, San Jose del Cabo, Cabo san Lucas, Baja California!

Whether it’s planes, trains or automobiles, or ferries, there are so many options to choose how to get around. It was a Wednesday…

Walking and talking tours of London

Now that travel abroad is becoming harder and slightly more complicated than it used to be, a lot of people are choosing not to bother and staycation at home.  For those of us who live in London, we are very lucky and absolutely spoilt for choice of where to go and what to do. If…

A Lavish Lighthouse Stay

Around this time of year (early December), we usually go on a mini adventure to celebrate the OH’s birthday. It’s normally a surprise, and I had planned a trip back to Iceland in search of the Northern Lights (again!). Sadly, due to the new Covid testing regulations, a year long planned birthday trip for a…
