View Larger Map On Friday 19th December I took my EasyJet flight to Schiphol (AMS) airport in Amsterdam to meet Dorota. We would have a nights rest before we set off on our 2,746km roadtrip to Poland and back. We got to Tychy in Poland around 2100 after 1,157km and an 11 hour drive. The […]

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 […]

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 […]

Warsaw, Old & New Town | Stare Miasto & Nowe Miasto

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 […]
