Bratislava, Slovakia. Knowing this is a very small European capital city and not much time is needed to see “everything”, we wasted no time, got up uncomfortably early, met up with some friends and jumped straight into our rental car to undertake the long 3 and a half hour scenic drive to the High Tatras mountains. Being over 30 degrees in the city it was a…

Along the Amalfi Coast
Naples, Italy. See all my photos from our trip below.
Transylvania to Bucharest
Bucharest, Romania. A quick overnight in the airport hotel and come morning we were once again at the Avis desk picking up our rental car for another weekend road trip. By the way if I haven’t mentioned how valuable driving abroad is when you’re short on time let this be the time! Although it can be a daunting prospect for people who haven’t done it before,…
Austrian Adventure
Salzburg, Austria.
On Top of Etna
Sicily, Italy. Another long weekend road trip around Europe, and in this beautiful part of the world we were able to fit in lots of different towns along the way each with their own unique charm. We flew into Catania airport on the eastern side of the island and picked up our set of wheels, we headed north to spend the day in the popular town…
Sweet like Belgian Chocolate
Brussels & Antwerp, Belgium. Having been to Brussels before, when we arrived we decided to jump straight on a train to try out another nearby city, Antwerp, and aren’t we glad we did! Greeted by the stunning train station, we knew straight away we were in for a treat and things just got better. Through the old narrow streets with the Cathedral looming over you, the…
It’s All Greek To Me
Athens, Greece. After a 3 and a half hour flight we found ourselves in this wonderful city. We had been given warning to expect dirty and polluted streets but were pleasantly surprised with the cleanliness and greenery all around. We did find some rather littered areas when you get very central but not much worse than we’ve seen elsewhere. According to a Greek friend however, there…
Predjama Castle
Ljubljana & Piran, Slovenia and finishing with a brief stop over in Trieste, Italy were our planned destinations on the bank holiday weekend road trip. Driving was made very enjoyable through this very scenic part of Europe and each place we stopped had a character of it’s own.
Alhambra Palace
Granada, Spain.
You Better Belize It
Belize, Central America. We started our journey by renting a big American 4×4 pick up truck, which at first did not seem appealing but after the first turning off the main highway it turned out to be a god send! The roads in Belize, I’m not sure can be described as roads, more like clearings that people struggle to drive through. The running joke when we…
Island of Limestone
Matla, A beautiful island in the south of Europe, an abundance of history and full of character. With the turquoise blue seas, sunny skies and pretty much everything made from limestone, Malta is a photographer’s delight. See all my photos from our trip below
Crossing the Baltic Sea
Helsinki, Finland and Tallinn, Estonia. We managed to fit in not only two cities, but two countries in our short weekend trip! If you are visiting Helsinki it would definitely be worth considering this day trip, taking the short 2 hour ferry across the Baltic sea for a picturesque stroll around the old town of Tallinn. It was bitterly cold when we went in early February…
