My Destinations

A Cloudy Day in Whistler

So I ended up with an afternoon in Whistler. Now one might ask why. It’s ‘summer’ after all so the best thing to do here is skiing, apparently. Now while there is some snow, it’s only right up the...

A Flight in First Class

So, I’m sitting in the lounge at Dallas Fort Worth airport waiting for my next flight having just finished my very first long haul flight in First Class (and likely the last).  All I’m wondering now is how on...

Canada Gallery 2016

The trip this year is mostly to journey on the Rocky Mountaineer, still there was a little extra time to explore Vancouver and take a ferry trip up the inside passage.

A Civilised Way to Start a Flight 

Starting of with a complimentary relaxing massage in the First Class lounge.

The List

Ever since I’ve been travelling I’ve generally backpacked. Not because of any hard held beliefs that lugging around a backpack and staying in crowded hostel dorms was the be all end all of travel. It was more because I...

Up Next – The Canadian Rockies

Kicking off on Wednesday 3 August 2016, a trip in Canada on the Rocky Mountaineer! (and you are correct that is not an image of the train in question.  I’ll update the image in August!)

I blinked… and suddenly it was over…

Today is a bit of a sad day… this is the wrap up post for this particular stage in the journey…  It took seven years to get here, and suddenly I blinked, and the holiday was over.  The funny...

Last hour in Santorini

   Sitting in the cafe at the hotel, a quick bite to eat, cocktail, admire the view for the last time then it’s time to head to the airport.    

Cruising Santorini

I woke up this morning kind of excited, today we were going on the cruise. The I opened the door, stepped outside before retreating back inside and closing the door.  I figured the couch inside with the shutters on...

Walking from Fira to Oia

We had one of those moments again today.  You see we were kicking back not exactly rushing out to great the day since we ‘knew’ we had the cruise booked for this afternoon so the plan was to walk...

Sunset in Fira Santorini

Sibiu

Sighisoara was very entertaining with the whole Dracula thing.  Although our hotel was fantastic, the experience was soured by the indifference of the staff.  This continued on checkout when we discovered we had been charged 120 Ron – about...

The Medieval town of Sighisoara

Sighisoara, a medieval town in Romania.  The birth place to Vlad Tepes, Vlad III, the Prince of Wallachia, also known, as Vlad the Impaler or using his patronyamic as Draculea or… Dracula. As you can imagine Sighisoara is a...

Brasov to Bran to Sighisoara

It was with a bit of a heavy heart that we packed our bags, had our final breakfast, and checked out of Casa Reims.  Our stay in Brasov had been just that little bit nicer because of the friendliness...

Peles Castle and Bears

After breakfast we piled into the car with the intent to backtrack to Sinaia in order to visit Peles Castle, built as a summer retreat for King Carol the 1st. Driving through the winding roads was no less beautiful...
