When we visited the amazing city of Dubrovnik for five days in March this year, we also made plans on one of our days to take a road trip to the town of Kotor in Montenegro which is located 57 miles (92km) from Dubrovnik making it a very easy drive. As Kotor is only a short distance away, it is a very popular day trip destination and even though there are buses and coach trips available, neither of these will give you the freedom to stop whenever you want to enjoy and take in the amazing scenery during the journey.

The very first time I heard about the village of Hell on the island of Grand Cayman in the Cayman Islands was when I was a child watching a travel show on the television one evening. I never forgot about it so when we sailed to Grand Cayman on our Very Merrytime Cruise on the Disney Wonder in December 2017, it was one of the only things I wanted to do whilst we were there.

When I travelled to Krakow in Poland last year, I had originally planned to take plenty of photos and have a full in-depth explanation of how to buy your train tickets at the airport before boarding the train to Kraków Główny station in the centre of the city. (more…)

When I travelled to Amsterdam for my birthday last year, I remember looking up any information I could online about how to get to Centraal Station. Looking back, I did not need to do this as both buying tickets and finding the correct train really was so simple and straightforward. (more…)

I never thought I would write this blog post as I have always thought that getting to Hong Kong Disneyland from Hong Kong Island was incredibly simple and did not need explaining. Recently however, many people have asked me to give them directions of how to do the journey or asked me if it is easy to do. Therefore two weeks ago whilst I was in Hong Kong, I took some photos during the journey to Hong Kong Disneyland. (more…)

When we visited Copenhagen for my birthday in October, we took the first flight in the morning from Heathrow as we always do whenever we fly somewhere in Europe. As we landed so early into Denmark, we decided that the only thing to do was to get the train from the airport across the Oresund Bridge to Malmö so we could both tick Sweden off on our list of countries we have visited.

Before I travelled to Istanbul in December, I spent some time trying to research how to get the train from Atatürk Airport to Sultanahmet where we would be staying. Unfortunately I only found a few websites from searching on Google and none of them were remotely helpful – way too much pointless information on them. (more…)

When I started researching places to visit on my trip to Athens in March this year, I was immediately surprised by how close all the big tourist sights were to each other – I had expected them to be spread out over a much larger area. As we had two full days in Athens, we were able to spread our sightseeing out and have more time to relax but we could have easily seen all the main sights in one day had we wanted to. (more…)

In December I travelled to Pisa in Italy for a short break before Christmas. There is not much to do in Pisa apart from climb the Leaning Tower but just an easy train ride away is Cinque Terre – somewhere I had always wanted to visit from the first time I saw that iconic photo of the village of Manarola.

Last week whilst on a quick visit to Australia, I finally had the opportunity to visit Featherdale Wildlife Park in Sydney. It is somewhere where I have wanted to go to for several years now and never have had the time before now. Even though I have visited Taronga Zoo in Sydney before which is much closer to the city centre, I wanted to be able to see some koalas up close as well as feed the kangaroos! (more…)
