Tours city

June 23, 2022 FebeLeave a comment

Today is a day off, we haven't even set an alarm. The bikes are locked in the secure hotel garage, the contents of the bags are strewn all over the hotel room and the first batch of hand wash is already drying on hangers. We roll out of bed around seven thirty and by the… Continue reading Tours city →

Quedlinburg, Roßtrappe & Rappbodetalsperre

October 12, 2021 FebeLeave a comment

Alarm at seven, up at eight, it's turning out to be a real lazy holiday.. I feel perfectly fine, warm under the bedcover, but with the first steps out of bed I can tell it's a good idea to take a day off: my calf muscles are quite sore. It becomes better after moving around… Continue reading Quedlinburg, Roßtrappe & Rappbodetalsperre →

settling in

November 14, 2020 FebeLeave a comment

I wake up a few minutes before the alarm goes off at seven. This is a trick I only manage to pull off on holidays, so I suspect it has to do with active days and better sleep. It's pretty chilly in the house: there's no central heating and it takes a while for the… Continue reading settling in →

Edinburgh

April 10, 2019April 11, 2019 FebeLeave a comment

Only one destination today, it's a big one so we're up early! After calculating the different transport options we've decided to take the car to the Ingliston P+R and then the tram to the city centre. It's advised to buy entry tickets for Edinburgh Castle up front since each ticket is for a specific timeslot,… Continue reading Edinburgh →

We're meeting family around noon at Chester Roman Fort, so we have limited time for activities in the morning. It is Sunday so breakfast is only from 8, but we manage to be moving around 9. Everything is packed into the car, suitcase and general stuff bag invisible in the trunk, day stuff like hiking… Continue reading to Scotland →

bigger trees

April 2, 2019 FebeLeave a comment

It's raining this morning, but we're not deterred and set off for a sight seeing tour around the Cotswolds. First up: Lacock village, often used as background for TV series and movies. 4£ to use the mandatory car park and it turns out we can't visit the famous abbey, as filming is going on right… Continue reading bigger trees →

Bath

April 1, 2019 FebeLeave a comment

No driving today! We're staying the whole day in the city of Bath. People who like reading regency romance novels or Jane Austen will have heard of it, as it was very popular in the Georgian era (18th century or so), however the main attraction here are the Roman Baths. After a late breakfast surrounded… Continue reading Bath →
