Lepe Beach at Lepe Country Park

Lepe Beach on D-Day

It's been 75 years since D-Day, where Lepe Beach played a significant role. In honour of such an important historic occasion, I've opted to skip ahead to a relevant part of my most recent road trip. How do you pronounce Lepe? You pronounce Lepe the same way as leap. I wouldn't want you reading … [Read more...] about Lepe Beach on D-Day

A Spring Stonehenge Day Trip

I've been planning to organise a Stonehenge day trip for a couple of years. It's been on my bucket list since I was younger. Stonehenge is one of the original seven wonders of the world. It's a rather prestigious title to hold, shared with some of the most magnificent structures on the planet. … [Read more...] about A Spring Stonehenge Day Trip

What to do in London in under 24 hours

I needed to know what to visit in London. It's because of London becoming the designated meeting place for a group of friends travelling from as far as Ljubljana in Slovenia. For me, the trip meant a couple of hours on the train. I had to keep costs down and squeeze as much into a small timespan as … [Read more...] about What to do in London in under 24 hours

Laufen Castle on the Rheinfall

Castle Laufen and the Rheinfall Waterfall

During my time in Switzerland, Sabine kindly whisked me away to Castle Laufen and the Rheinfall Waterfall. The castle is sometimes referred to as Schloss Laufen, which is exactly the same thing but in German. For those that don't know, the Rhine Falls make up the largest waterfall in … [Read more...] about Castle Laufen and the Rheinfall Waterfall

Zurich in a Day

I mentioned before that I’d had the joy of experiencing a rather enjoyable day out which culminated in a trip into Zürich. Having spent a fair chunk of my day exploring Rapperswil-Jona, I hopped onto the ferry and went to explore as much of Zurich in a day as I could.  Now I'd … [Read more...] about Zurich in a Day

A Day Out in Rapperswil-Jona

On this wonderful August day, I found myself wandering around Rapperswil-Jona. Having spent time getting lost and attempting to climb mini-mountain wearing thongs. I decided to take advantage of the beautiful sunny weather and try catching the ferry to Zürich. It made sense. The Zürichsee is … [Read more...] about A Day Out in Rapperswil-Jona

Keukenhof Tulip Gardens

Holland’s Tulip Season at Keukenhof Gardens

Holland is world famous for its windmills and tulips, so much so that a ridiculous amount of people are unaware that Holland is actually a region of the Netherlands, rather than a country in its own right. Now the Netherlands are famous for all sorts of reasons, depending on what you're interested … [Read more...] about Holland’s Tulip Season at Keukenhof Gardens

Crossing Cologne: Deciding What to Visit

As Germany's fourth largest city, Köln has plenty to offer for locals and tourists alike. It's still a city, so unless you live there you aren't going to be wanting to spend an extended period in one place, but there's more than enough to keep you continuously busy for a long weekend city break. The … [Read more...] about Crossing Cologne: Deciding What to Visit

Cologne Cathedral

The Behemoth of Cologne

It's one of the first things you see when you get to Köln. For me, arriving at night, you could spot it from halfway across the city - perhaps further. Gorgeously back lit, Koeln Cathedral sticks out like a sore thumb, albeit far prettier than a thumb. You might choose to call it the major … [Read more...] about The Behemoth of Cologne
