Flights booked to Hong Kong and Sydney
Well next month is going to be an amazing month of travelling for me. I have just recieved confirmation of my flights to Hong Kong and Sydney from eBookers, after spending hours trawling the aggregators they had the cheapest Cathay Pacific flights. eBookers also allow you to search for multi-stop flights. The only problem is […]

We set sail from the Marriott hotel with the Aquarius Dive Club www.aquariusredsea.com at around 0730 with the hope of diving the Giannis D. Its position in the Red Sea makes it often not possible to dive, due to the strong currents and rough sea. We were the last people on the boat and everyone […]

Diving the Giannis D was most definately my favourite dive whilst we were in Egypt. We were very lucky to be able to dive the wreck as we were told that there was a 50-75% chance of us not being able to dive there. This is due to the cross winds over this point in […]

Near crash experience
So so so close. During our drive from Wroclaw to Berlin we had about 2 inches of snow fall in about 30 minutes, which was quickly building up on the motorway. Bearing in mind that the road was already covered in ice and snow made driving rather stressful. Driving an oddly balanced Toyota Prius hybrid […]

Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam | Damien Hirst’s For the Love of God
Yesterday I visited the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, as usual there was a queue outside which at a guess would have taken around an hour to get in. The queue was only just out of the gates, unlike last time when it stretched 100 meters down the road. The museum is good but no way would […]

The Milestone Hotel London
Last weekend Dorota and I had an amazing stay in the luxurious Milestone hotel. The hotel was named after the cast iron milestone that still stands in its original position next to the hotel. We had a fantastic room which was on split floors, the lower smaller floor had a chaise longue and small eating […]

The Eiffel tower, Paris
The Eiffel tower is perhaps the best known landmark in Paris and arguably all of France. It was built in 1889 and was at the time the world’s largest tower. It was built by engineer Gustave Eiffel for the Exposition Universelle similar to the Belgians building the Atomimum for Expo ’58. Eiffel originally designed the […]

Scheveningen Beach, Den Haag, Holland, The Netherlands
Scheveningen is part of Den Haag, which is known as The Hague to us in the UK. Scheveningen was a bit surprise for me to be honest, I was a little shocked to see an amazingly long, wide sandy beach on the coast of the Netherlands! The beach is also complete with a pier, esplanade […]
