The people of Zagreb in Croatia
In 2012 we spent an afternoon walking around the Old Town of Zagreb which is the capital of Croatia. The old town is architecturally wonderful and at the end of our walk was a market. No-one seemed to mind me taking photos and it’s a shame there was a language barrier. I would have liked… — read more

2012 – A full day in Budapest
Budapest was hot. I sticky kind of hot as if you were a melted plastic toy covered in cat fluff. Our British friend Ben took us for a walk around the city. Nowhere in specific. A general wander that took in a few sights with no real pressure to be anywhere. It was nice. Hot,… — read more

Bruges is a fairytale town
In September my wife and I visited Bruges. We were inspired by the film ‘In Bruges’. Odd inspiration I know but it did make us want to go and see the place for real. You know what? It was very nice. It’s a fairytale town, isn’t it? How’s a fairytale town not somebody’s ***ing thing?… — read more

A day at sea on the Waverley
Bought for £1 and fully restored to service the PS Waverley is the last sea going paddle steamer. She’s a beautiful ship and she sails from Liverpool on a day trip to Llandudno and Anglesey. I wholeheartedly recommend it. I’ve flown over Liverpool a couple of times but theres something about seeing the city on… — read more

7 days in Amsterdam
I miss Amsterdam. I really really miss it. Something always happened there. But more than that I feel like its the first holiday I’ve had where I actually relaxed. Before your mind goes there, no. Beer, chocolate and I’m slowly getting into whiskey. Thats all. No crazy coffee shopping. I couldn’t afford the laundry bills.… — read more
