If you have read our blog or follow us on social media, you'll have realised by now that we love travelling and go to as many different places as we can manage. But sometimes I wonder whether we forget the gems that are on our own doorstep. With that in mind, as we had a […]
With a couple of spare days of leave to use up before April, we decided a little trip to the sun was in order. As such, we booked a four night stay in Malta – this would be my 50th country (41 for Rhian, catching up!). Also in search of some warm weather, Rhian’s parents […]
You may not have thought to visit the Isle of Man before, unless like me, you’re an avid follower of the TT. It’s always looked great on the TV so we decided to check it out for ourselves. Our visit in February 2017 didn’t coincide with the racing, so we now see that as an […]
Anyone that knows Rhian well knows that she’s always glued to her phone. There’s nothing she likes more than posting on Instagram or Facebook (give us a follow!) or reading blogs… apart from booking a holiday that is. So when she found a blog by The Telegraph entitled ‘15 cities you’ve never heard of (but […]
After failing to do any shopping for Rhian ahead of Christmas 2015, I decided to book a weekend in Amsterdam at the end of January as her present. We flew from Cardiff airport and took the convenient train into the city centre from Schiphol airport. Seeing as we were flying out after work on the […]

Having been away every month of the year so far, we decided to continue the quest of a trip in every month of 2016 by going to Belfast for the weekend. The capital of Northern Ireland is now very much open for business after years of political tension and we were looking forward to sampling […]
We decided to kick off our Baltic adventure in the capital city of Lithuania – Vilnius. Taking the number 3G bus from the airport to the centre (Fabijoniskes means bus station), first impressions said that this city was unlikely to be overrun with tourists. As we wound our way down the grey streets under the […]
My birthday always falls on or around the August bank holiday. So, lucky fiancé that I am, Rhian bought us a two night break in Prague to celebrate. Not arriving at our accommodation Salvator Superior Apartments on Revolucni until the evening and after trying to work out the unfathomable house numbers (there seems to be […]
Heading back into Vienna’s Hauptbahnhoff station whilst quietly humming Ultravox, we were full of anticipation to arrive at our hotel. We had decided to splash out a little more than usual in order to book a room at the 25 Hours Hotel located a stone’s throw from Volksgarten U-Bahn. We certainly were not disappointed. We […]
