Wonderful, wonderful Copenhagen! We were in the process of doing up our house, and needed a weekend break away so we decided to visit our first Scandinavian country for our anniversary in March. It’s quite an expensive place, and you don’t need more than a long weekend in this beautiful city, but the air is…

We went for a long weekend break to Belgrade in August 2019, to soak up some sun and get away for a few days. The city has such a wide variety of culture – from old castles to ugly buildings from the communist era, which is both interesting and a little underwhelming . This was…

Holguin On New Years Eve 2018, we landed in Cuba with Scott’s parents for 2 weeks away on an all inclusive ‘Royal Service’ holiday at the adults-only Paradisus Rio de Oro Resort and Spa in Holguin. It was hot, sunny, relaxing and we managed to get quite a few excursions in so we had a…

We took a day trip to Mostar, a city in Bosnia and Herzegovina, whilst we were staying in Dubrovnik, Croatia. Because of this, we didn’t see any other parts of the country (other than that on our bus route in), and so our experience of the country isn’t as full as we’d like! All we…

We began our June 2019 adventures in Dubrovnik, Croatia as part of a 2 week holiday covering Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Montenegro. These were our 5th, 6th and 7th countries together, and what we quite often describe as our favourite holiday so far. Dubrovnik was one of the most expensive cities we’ve been to.…

Our second holiday (and shot glass number 2) was Cyprus with Scott’s sister and her family. We went in October and at the time, she had three young children ages 5, 3 and 1 so we couldn’t travel too far, and Cyprus was the only place that gave us 12 days of sunshine. The country…

This was our first holiday together, a long weekend in Luxembourg in September. The capital of Luxembourg is Luxembourg City, which isn’t very big at all (the country itself is roughly the size of London), however it sits on many levels. Transport We flew directly into Luxembourg airport from London Gatwick, which took us just…

With its beautiful scenery, lovely people and amazing food, there are so many reasons why Montenegro is our favourite place so far!

On our long weekend trip to Zurich in Switzerland, we decided to make our way over to neighbouring Liechtenstein for the day, to cross off another country, and buy yet another shot glass (taking us to magic number 10). We had at one point, debated whether to spend the night here as well or even…
