Lithuania’s Capital

Vilnius, Lithuania. As our weekend trips continue to take us further and further from home, this time just north of the border of Belarus and almost as far as Russia we arrived in one of Europe’s lesser known capital cities. Vilnius is all about the characterful old town which is the largest surviving medieval old…

Drizzle in Düsseldorf

Düsseldorf, Germany. After an amazing 2018 of travelling we were keen to kick things off again straight away in the new year. The first weekend of January rolled in and without anything planned we got the travel itch and booked a last minute flight to the 7th largest city in Germany. This early in the…

High Tatras

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…

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…

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,…

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…

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…

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.
