One of the vouchers gave 20% off the combo ticket which includes entry to: We would recommend… Continue reading Copenhagen, Denmark – Part 2

Copenhagen, Denmark – Part 1

My friend Helen and I were looking for a European city break to celebrate our 50th birthdays this year. We looked at Florence, but it isn’t the easiest to travel to, from our home locations, so Copenhagen, Denmark was chosen. When we booked the flights’ times were great, we’d meet at Amsterdam airport and be… Continue reading Copenhagen, Denmark – Part 1

Michigan #2

I think I slipped into the post-holiday blues last week, but I’m back with my final post about my trip to Michigan and will post about Wisconsin later this week.

It is me,… Continue reading Michigan #1

First up we caught the ferry to Toronto Islands. There are 3 ferries that each go to a… Continue reading Toronto #2

Toronto #1

My journey from Inverness to Amsterdam to Toronto went pretty smoothly. We were a little late taking off but managed to land on time, only to find there was no gate free at Toronto Pearson airport. After about 30 mins they started to unload passengers in small batches. By the time my batch left it… Continue reading Toronto #1

One more sleep to go…

I’m visiting Lucy, who I met on my trip to Peru and Bolivia in 2015/16. She is from the UK but emigrated to Canada a… Continue reading One more sleep to go…

Belladrum Tartan Heart Festival 2022

Well this was a long time coming. When my friends (Wendy & Steph) and I got back from Belladrum 2019 (see earlier post) we bought tickets for Belladrum 2020. The tickets go on sale almost immediately after the last festival. So without knowing who the acts were going to be we bought the tickets. We… Continue reading Belladrum Tartan Heart Festival 2022
