Washington DC involved a whole lot of walking and a whole lot of waiting around... Whilst all the sights, buildings and monuments were great to see, I had started to feel a little under the weather. On our first day we saw the World War I & II, Vi...

Hello USA! New York

Well the big trip has begun! Compared to our last trip to NY, this one has been extremely easy and relaxed. Joanne (Liam's cousin) was absolutley wonderful - we stayed with her the whole time, and her and her parents hospitality and generosity made ou...

Croatia

I met up with Fi and her sister Claire in Croatia for a week of sun, cocktails and swimming - and I wasn't disappointed. The place was amazing - the people were friendly, the weather was beautiful and the water was the clearest colour of blue I think ...

Spain

Paul and I just spent a week in Spain. We flew into Barcelona but only stayed there for a couple of nights before getting the train up to Pamplona for the Running of the Bulls. Barcelona is definately somewhere I would want to go back to eventually. It...

Brighton

Made the trip down to Brighton for the 1st of two long weekends we have in May. Was really nice to get out of London for a little while, and Brighton is such a cute place that has not been spoilt by tourism at all. The weather as usual, was horrible -...

Sunshine in Stockholm

We arrived in Stockholm after a 6 hour train ride from Oslo a whole lot poorer and ready for some warmer weather. Luckily Stockholm managed to come through with the goods - things were a little less expensive and the temperature was definitely a whole...

Norway in a Nutshell

After Copenhagen we shot up to Oslo on the overnight cruise ship (more info in the Denmark entry). We had been warned that tax was really high in Scandanavia and so it was an expensive place to visit, but this was getting out of control... A pint of be...

Easter in Denmark

The first stop on our Scandinavian Holiday was Copenhagen, Denmark. Apart from nearly every attraction being closed because of Good Friday and Easter Sunday, we managed to have a good look around the city without spending a fortune. Couple of strang...

School Disco

Frequented mainly by youngsters who look like they have been to school that day, the School Disco has become somewhat of a rite of passage for Aussies living in London. You're not allowed in without a uniform (consisting of a shirt, tie and skirt/pants...

Amsterdam

We made a quick trip over to Amsterdam for the weekend early this month - primarily to get away from the depression only an English winter could bestow on someone, and secondly cause it was close and cheap! After all I'd heard about this place, I was n...

Christmas in Wales

I think this is this is the first time EVER that I have gone away and worn everything I packed in my suitcase!...This is because it was so bloody cold I had to wear about 7-10 layers every day just to go outside! I know it was cold, because Paul (who ...

Madame Tussauds

Madame Tussauds is somewhere I've always wanted to go, so Paul took me for my birthday this year. (After a lot of hinting!) The wax sculptures are pretty impressive - when you walk into a room, you aren't really sure who is real and who isn't (the pho...

Edinburgh

Well the Edinburgh trip was interesting... We may not have seen many of the traditional sites, but we did manage to take in the hospital, a few chemists and a medical centre. We caught the plane on Friday night with Paul feeling a little under the w...

Germany- back to Western Europe

I love Berlin! The only thing I managed to get out of Poland is a damn cold, so I feel like crap but I'm so happy to be back in Western Europe I don't care! The first day we spent in Berlin would have to be one of the coldest days of my life. We dec...

Poland...erghhh

I think Paul summarised it perfectly when he wrote: "Imagine a dirty, poor, run down place where the only colour you see is grey. Where the people are unhappy, never smile, never speak to you or want to help if you're lost. Where transport neve...

Prague

Once again, our travels started off a little rough. We almost missed our plane to Prague, only to find out when we got to the airport that it had been delayed by 3 hours! Other than the slow start, our Prague trip was pretty good. We met up with on...

Paris oui oui!!

Things got off to an interesting start for our Paris trip - Firstly, Paul left his mobile on the x-ray table after going through security for the Eurostar... then we somehow misplaced our tickets (they were actually still on the table in the foodcourt ...

Have arrived in London!

Well I'm finally here! Got into Heathrow around 6.30am, after a hellish 13hour trip from Hong Kong. (There was a child sitting behind me the whole way who didn't stop sreaming for more than 20 mins at a time! + the guy sitting next to me took some slee...

Sydney

Thought I would try and add an entry and some photos before I departed and came to realise that I had no idea how to do anything on here! Races on Saturday were fabulous - Gorgeous Sydney day with lots of Champagne and pretty dresses! Apart from me ...
