On our recent trip to Rhodes, I decided to head across the water to Turkey – only an hour on the ferry, it’s within easy reach of the Greek island, so it was a no-brainer for me to visit a new country for under £40. I say it was a no-brainer, but if you’ve read …
When I decided, after a lot of contemplation, to visit Marmaris for the day from Rhodes, I honestly wasn’t sure how enjoyable it was going to be. Did I really want my first experience of Turkey to be of a tacky resort town, packed with hotels and cheap tourist tat aimed towards people who couldn’t …
We recently spent four days on Rhodes, a fascinating Greek island steeped in history. There are a lot of Greek islands I’d love to visit – Santorini, Crete, Zante. Weirdly, I’d never really thought of Rhodes. However if it’s Greek history and lovely island towns that you want, look no further than Rhodes. Packed with …
The main point of flying to Venice wasn’t to visit Italy at all, despite that becoming the bulk of the trip – it was to finally visit the neighbouring country of Slovenia, somewhere that has been on my list for years. It seemed a bit silly, then, to barely be spending three days in the …
One of the maddest additions to our recent trip to Italy was a day trip to the tiny country of San Marino. In itself, this wouldn’t be a weird stop to add – but originally, the trip was just going to be Venice and Slovenia. We decided to add another country to the list, and …
Venice is one of the most unique places in Europe – but it’s also one of the busiest, with tourists descending on the sinking city in their thousands every single day. It’s a city that a lot of people don’t expect to love, and depending on your experience, your expectations could be right. Me? I …
After our Dusseldorf Disaster™, we headed over to Cologne on a short train ride that went much more smoothly than any other public transport we’d experienced in Germany. We’d only have the rest of the day in Cologne, although research told me it was small enough that we could hit up the highlights pretty quickly …
“I have really f*cked up. Oh my God… David, I have REALLY f*cked up.” “Clazz… where are we???” My friend David had brought up Google maps and was frantically zooming out. “Erm… Clazz, where is Dusseldorf??!” It was 11.30pm and we had arrived in Germany. Moments earlier, I’d been preparing to jump on a train …
Visiting Auschwitz was never going to be easy. It’s not exactly a walk in the park where you can tune out or share your deep thoughts with nature, or even a look around a museum where words can fill you with knowledge but not leave a mark on your soul. No, this was being faced …
In November, I finally visited Poland for the first time! One of our best friends wanted to go somewhere for Christmas markets, and we mused over various German destinations before I piped up that we could do something different and go to Poland. None of us had been to Poland before, and most of the …
