Month: May 2015

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...

Everything is closed on Monday

The plan for the day was a simple one. Walk around the perimeter of the old town, visit sites such as the Bastonul Graft, White Tower, Black Tower (which is white by the way), the weavers bastion and other...

Romania here we come

Finally it was the day, today we would catch our plane, Wizz Air (I just love the name of that airline….and its pink!!) from Larnaca, Cyprus to Bucharest, Romania.  The land of castles, black bears and…, well alright, I...

Cyprus from a new set of eyes

Well, I finally made it to a destination where Cath is currently living!  Sort of a ‘Happy Birthday, lets go on holiday’ thing. The time difference in Cyprus from home is 5 hours behind…. so 7am Cyprus time is...
