It’s been a busy couple of weeks! First Aaron and I had a long weekend in Plymouth followed by an overnight stay in London. Then I celebrated my birthday with a couple of days out, and finally my sister’s hen weekend in Disneyland Paris. Needless to say my blog has taken a bit of a back seat! 😅 To get me back into the swing of things I thought I’d…

Road Trip Essentials
Last year I took a road trip from Edinburgh through the Scottish Highlands and up to Loch Ness. It was my first road trip without my parents and a great experience. I think I saw a lot more of the country than I would have by train or plane. I learnt a lot on that trip from what to bring, to road safety and how to prevent arguments with your…

Edinburgh Zoo
Our second day in Edinburgh (and the third day of our road trip) saw us taking a trip to Edinburgh Zoo. We got up early, picked up some lunch to take with us and had some breakfast. Ah, the benefit of having our hotel next to a supermarket. 😉 Edinburgh zoo was a short 10 minute drive from our hotel, on the outskirts of the city centre. Funnily, if we…

Edinburgh & The Castle on the Hill
After our trip to Alnwick, Ryan and I continued our road trip up to Scotland and our next destination – Edinburgh. We spent 1 and a half days in the city and another at Edinburgh Zoo (post on that to follow!). I got very excited when I saw the “border crossing” layby and insisted we pull over to take some photos. There’s also a layby the other side for those…

Alnwick Castle and Gardens
Ryan and I have just gotten home from our road trip through part of England and Scotland. It was a long drive but I’m happy we did it instead of using public transport, we came across some picturesque towns and villages. Our holiday started with a 6 and a half hour drive up the Fosseway, an old Roman road connecting Exeter to Lincoln . According to our Google Map route…

Road Trip From Warsaw to Krakow, Poland
We didn’t make it to the Zielona Gora Winobranie that I spoke about last year but made sure we attended this year. Winobranie is a wine and music festival in Artur’s home town. There are stalls, various places to eat and a lot of wine. His best friend from Zielona Gora was in the parade, which was also going on during the day. We didn’t spend as much time in…

Travelling to Paris by Motorbike
This past weekend my boyfriend and I made a last-minute decision to go on a road trip to Paris! And since it was a bank holiday weekend we both had three days to play with. Instead of using my car, we decided travelling to Paris by motorbike would be a great new adventure for us. We started our trip early Friday morning with a 3-hour journey to The Channel Tunnel…
