Welcome back to Part 2 of my Cuba travel posts! Picking up from where I left off, the tour continues, moving from the North Western tip of Cuba towards the East, with the final stop on this leg of the journey being Trinidad. But first, we stopped for a quick walking tour around the French… Continue reading Cuba Adventures – Trinidad, Cienfuegos and Santa Clara

Cuba Adventures – Vinales, Las Terrazas, Cayo Jutias
Cuba is unique, like no other country i've been to before. That's no surprise given it's dramatic history and an economic embargo that has kept the country in a time warp for over 50 years. And with signs of relations with the US thawing, this could change. So, there's really never been a better time… Continue reading Cuba Adventures – Vinales, Las Terrazas, Cayo Jutias
Winter sun seekers – Canary Islands
It's always nice to get away in winter and catch some sun. The problem is that most of Europe is probably cold and wet! So, if you want some actual heat, you need to venture further afield, not ideal if you're looking for a short break. I'd heard about the Canary Islands being the place… Continue reading Winter sun seekers – Canary Islands
Pompeii, another tick off the bucket list
Visiting Pompeii was a huge tick off my travel bucket list. The ancient Roman City, destroyed by the erupting Mount Vesuvius in 79AD, has been somewhere I've wanted to go since I was a child. Easy to reach from Naples and Sorrento via the Circumvesuviana train, this is a place not to be missed! I've… Continue reading Pompeii, another tick off the bucket list
Pizza in Napoli!
Naples is a bustling City on the southern coast of Italy. A little rough around the edges, it isn't like any other Italian City I've been to - for instance, Naples isn't the cleanest of cities and has a serious rubbish collection problem which doesn't seem like it will change anytime soon. Having said that, it's not as… Continue reading Pizza in Napoli!
Reaching heights in Ravello
The Amalfi coast has so many beautiful towns and villages. You could easily spend weeks here, moving from one place to another. Sadly, I only had one week so I visited the standard 'must-see' places, including Ravello, which can be reached by bus from Amalfi. Amalfi has a very different vibe to Positano and is a lot… Continue reading Reaching heights in Ravello
Movie magic in Capri
Ah Capri, you are one heck of an island! I think Capri is definitely one of my favourite places in all of Italy (and that's saying something)! Capri is a dream, literally like being on the set of a glamorous movie. The minute you approach the island on the ferry, the colour of the water hits… Continue reading Movie magic in Capri
Da Adolfo – magnifico!
If you do one thing when you're in Positano, make sure it's booking a table at Da Adolfo. The best Italian food I've had in Italy. Period. I'd heard a lot about this place whilst doing research on the Amalfi Coast. And boy did it live up to expectations. Don't you love it when that… Continue reading Da Adolfo – magnifico!
Positano – sun, sea and lots of stairs!
"Positano bites deep. It is a dream place that isn't quite real when you are there and becomes beckoningly real after you have gone" - John Steinbeck All I can say is that the above quote is spot on! I have wanted to go to the Amalfi Coast for years. Has anyone seen the 90s movie… Continue reading Positano – sun, sea and lots of stairs!
Exploring Istanbul – part 2
Welcome back to part 2 of my post on Istanbul! We were absolutely exhausted after my friend's wedding so had a slightly later start the next day. I love walking in Istanbul - it feels very safe and there's an interesting building or ruin around nearly every corner. We first headed to the Basilica Cistern,… Continue reading Exploring Istanbul – part 2
