Days 1-2 – 1-2 April 2010 – London, Llanberis
My four day weekend of trekking started yesterday evening with the hardest bit: Squeezing past the thousands of other rush-hour Londoners who were equally desperate to get out of the city for the Easter break. A six hour bus, tube, train and car-hire journey later, Susanne and [...]

10 July 2009 – Day 1 – London, Amsterdam
It’s a little strange to finish work on a Friday and then find myself in a coffeeshop in Amsterdam five hours later! Despite visiting Amsterdam a few times for work, I’ve never had the pleasure of seeing this iconic city as a tourist. My first impressions are [...]

20-22 June 2009 – Days 1,2,3 – Edinburgh, River Tummel

30 April 2009 – Day 1 – Catania, Aci Castello, Acitrezza

Blog & photos & video coming soon. Soonish. I’ll also think of a better title.

13 months ago AC Milan became European Champions and I had just visited a rain-soaked Madrid, completely devoid of tourists. This weekend in Madrid was sunny, warm and full of young travellers taking in the sights.
It would have been great for photos, but apart from a brief tour of Parque del [...]
