I love to travel solo, take photos and eat! I don't get to do it often enough but when I do I talk about it here.
Day 20 of my trip and my first full day in Barcelona. I had a booking at Park Guell for the morning. It was about an hours walk from my accommodation but I chose to walk it anyway so that I could see some more of the city. Once out of the Gothic quarter the... Continue Reading →
My final destination was Barcelona. I had booked a fast train ticket for a five hour trip between the two cities. A few weeks before I departed I learned that my travel day was a French train strike day. Always optimistic that my train would still run, the practical side of me also bought a... Continue Reading →
My last day based in Florence was spent on a day trip with Walkabout Tours to Cinque Terre. Cinque Terre is a cluster of five picturesque villages on the Ligurian Coast of Italy. It is an incredibly popular tourist destination and I had initially thought of staying there for a few nights but nostalgia drew... Continue Reading →
Finally a day that didn't require a ridiculously early start. I had a mid morning train ticket to Florence which gave me time for a final look at Bologna before leaving.

It's time for a break from writing up old trips and to start sharing my recent adventure. In May I spent 23 nights in Europe, just me, my camera, my walking shoes and my appetite. My fourth trip to Europe in just over four years. The planning for this trip was erratic at best. Having... Continue Reading →
I visited Krakow in June 2016. By my final day in Krakow my feet hated me. We had walked miles, I had blisters on my blisters and I needed to look after them a bit better. So we did what we should have a couple of days earlier and figured out how to use the... Continue Reading →
