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.
This day was epic. No matter how many times I rewrote my trip plan, one thing was a constant, this day trip from Bologna. I had come across it on TripAdvisor when looking for food experiences and had been impressed by the consistently glowing reviews. Cheese and prosciutto are also two of my favorite things...

Bologna is perfectly positioned for day trips, not far from either Venice or Florence and surrounded by the wonderful smaller towns of the Emilia Romagna region. I could have gone to so many different places but I had an itch that just needed scratching. Four years ago I spent two nights in Venice during my... Continue Reading →
My third full day in Europe brought yet another early start. I was ready to leave Germany, well not really, I'd happily live there, but my itinerary was ready for me to leave. Next stop Bologna. I think I said in an earlier post that food was a big motivator in my planning so for... Continue Reading →
I woke up on my second full day in Munich still undecided about what to do. I had three main options. Stay in Munich and wander, head to Chiemsee which is a lake with a castle on an island in the middle, or visit Zugspitze, Germany's highest peak. Zugspitze had been my first choice, I...

I have been to Germany twice before and Munich once. Four years ago I had 4 nights in the city, using at as a base for day trips to Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Neuschwanstein and Dachau. Again this year I used it as a day trip base. It is in such a fabulous location with... Continue Reading →
Then, I was finally there. Munich. Europe, my happy place. It took, what seemed like, forever to get out of Munich airport, mainly because my bag was about the last one off a packed A380. I don't remember much about the airport, by then I was on over tired autopilot; get luggage, find an ATM... Continue Reading →
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 Prague in June 2016. My first full day in Prague started with a walk to the hotel that served breakfasts for the apartment, about a block away. I don't normally add breakfast to a booking but this one was cheap and it was well worth it with a generous buffet. I didn't have... Continue Reading →
I visited Prague in June 2016. With my time in Krakow, and Poland, coming to an end it was time to farewell my travel buddy who was returning to Australia and get myself onto a bus to start my trip to Prague. I was travelling with Leo Express, a private Czech based company that runs... 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 →
