I went to Venice last November with my sister. Looking back I should have gone with a boyfriend, but I didn’t have one at the time. Venice is a very romantic city and there were so many couples around. It is certainly not for those looking for a bar hopping and clubbing weekend. My sister [...]

The Discreet Charm of San Diego

San Diego must be one of America’s best-kept secrets, at least on this side of the Atlantic. Very few Europeans would put it at the top of their list of places to visit and yet is has a climate unrivalled by Florida and a location to surpass Los Angeles. It also has a diversity of [...]

I went to the seaside on Saturday and it was warm and sunny. A nice change since the whole of August had been a complete washout. It doesn’t take that long to get to Brighton, about an hour from Cheam, Surrey down the M23. However, there is a lot of traffic getting into Brighton town [...]

Barcelona is a great city. I have been here twice in a year. I went in August when the temperature can get up to 35 degrees Celcius. The evenings are cooler but still pleasant to walk around without a sweater. If you haven’t been to Barcelona before, I recommend taking the Bus Touristic when you [...]

I had never been to Vegas before this April and what a great place it was. My sister and I had booked a mini tour of the South West USA and Las Vegas was a stop over place for us. You really have to go if you haven’t been before. Yes Las Vegas is a little [...]
