On our last visit to The Netherlands back in 2023 when we were touring Western Europe by train we had planned to visit the city of Rotterdam but we were coming to the end of our travels and to be honest we were somewhat citied out. We decided instead of visiting Rotterdam to take aContinue reading “Exploring Rotterdam: A Guide to Its Must-See Attractions”

Discover Utrecht: Must-See Attractions and Shopping Spots
Our first visit to Utrecht was two years ago as part of a three month adventure in Western Europe and it was always somewhere we wanted to revisit. We have friends who live just south of the airport and so we recently combined a trip to see them with a few days based in Utrecht,Continue reading “Discover Utrecht: Must-See Attractions and Shopping Spots”
Top Attractions in Saint George’s, Grenada
Whilst we spent time driving around the island of Grenada in our hire car my final post centres around its capital -Saint George’s. Located on a horse-shoe shaped harbour, frequented by all sizes of cruise ship and surrounded by the hillside of an old volcanic crater Saint George’s sits in the south west of theContinue reading “Top Attractions in Saint George’s, Grenada”
Exploring Grenada’s Underwater Sculpture Park
Having spent time exploring the beaches we booked a trip to one of Grenada’s most famous sites -The Underwater Sculpture Park. Established in 2006 by Jason deCaires Taylor this was the first ever underwater Sculpture Park in the world and is now listed as one of National Geographic’s 25 Wonders of the World. Sited justContinue reading “Exploring Grenada’s Underwater Sculpture Park”
Discover the Secrets of Crete’s Spinalonga Island
As I said in my previous post I didn’t really do a lot of research into Crete as we were coming here on holiday primarily to relax, sunbathe and take a break from life and everything 2024 had thrown at us to date. Having been island hopping on two previous occasions I do have theContinue reading “Discover the Secrets of Crete’s Spinalonga Island”

The Cotswolds -The Roman Town of Cirencester
I was recently visiting my daughter, who at the time was in Lincolnshire. Traversing across the country from West to East I found myself bypassing Leicester and then driving along the A46. This is weird I thought, the A46 runs from Bath to Stroud back in The Cotswolds from whence I have come? When IContinue reading “The Cotswolds -The Roman Town of Cirencester”
The Cotswolds – The Roman City of Bath Spa
When you reach midlife it’s hard to think of something you want to do on your birthday. We were suppose to be in Rome, a city I’ve visited twice before but hubby has never been to. However following the arthritis diagnosis (see previous post: New Year’s Resolutions Have Come Early This Year!) and having stillContinue reading “The Cotswolds – The Roman City of Bath Spa”
The Cotswolds -Stroud’s Five Valleys
When writing my last post I realised I was doing my home town an injustice by not talking about the wonderful five valleys that both surround it and for which it is partly famous. Condensing all this into a single narrative would again have been a disservice. The Cotswolds are full of beautiful hills, woods,Continue reading “The Cotswolds -Stroud’s Five Valleys”
