Less than a year old, and is filled with an eclectic mix of all things new […]

Positively Porta Posnania in Poznan Poland

We are in Poznan, Poland.  I never in my wildest dreams even thought that when we started our world trip in 2012 we would still be traveling now – in our 3rd year. Neither did I think we would be in Poland. We flew in last night to Warsaw, and then took a train to […]

More Dash than Cash but very Flash

Experiencing Baroque Brukenthal Palace Romania

  It is with sad regret said good-bye to all our new Romania friends we met over the New Year period at Biertan.  Meeting such lovely people has been a delight, but saying farewell, and never knowing if we shall see them again is one of the hardest parts of travel.  Romania has proven to be a […]

Served on a Bed of Ice

From the very first time I heard about the Hotel of Ice in Romania, I wanted to go.  I figured the hardest part would be to convince my nine-year-old son, but as soon as he saw their website, he was as keen as I was to venture up the snowy mountain-side, and spend a night […]
