There are definitely more comfortable places to sit than on Hans Christian Andersen’s left knee. On top of that, instead of telling me a story out of the book that is resting on his right knee, he is staring over to the Tivoli, the famous theme park, completely ignoring me. Well, I can’t say that’s […]

A lake house adventure in Khao Sok National Park
Getting into boat based trouble is something that you would by now think I am a little bit used to, particularly after that Seychelles based boat adventure I told you about. You might assume that as a result of that, any boat based adventure I decide to undertake, however short it is supposed to be, […]
Four Things Not to Miss In Ghent
Ghent is in Belgium. Which, other than chips, Audrey Hepburn, chocolate and a statue of a small boy peeing, isn’t exactly famous for anything. It’s almost famous for not being famous for anything in fact. Which is a bit of a shame really, because Belgium has a lot to offer, the small town of Ghent […]
Things to Do in Berlin
Berlin is a hell of city. I’ve had the privilege of visiting a number of times, and each time it has delighted and educated me in equal parts. Part of this is due to the amount of recent history, from the horrors of the second world war, through to the collapse of the wall. It’s […]
The Temple on a Volcano: Phanom Rung, Thailand
When you visit Thailand, you are going to be very excited to see some Thai temples. And you should be excited, because they are pretty damn impressive. From the Wats of Bangkok to the crumbling ruins of Sukhothai, there is enough temple in Thailand to sate even the hungriest of temple addicts. It might surprise […]
A warm welcome in Copenhagen at the Absalon Hotel
I like warm weather. This fact should be apparent by the destinations I’ve covered in the blog, and the way that they rarely seem to include snow, or ice. Other than that trip around New Zealand, where poor timing meant we occasionally saw some actual snow. So when I booked my trip around a number […]
What to do in Stockholm
Five minutes after our arrival in Stockholm Centraal, the main station, I realized that anyone who has ever asked me if I was from Sweden (instead of Germany), has really given me a huge compliment by likening me to these Nordic goddesses. Wow. There is an unusual amount of really tall, really slender, really blonde […]
Exploring Doi Inthanon National Park, Thailand
Coffee! I’d love to do another post about the awesome coffee available in Doi Inthanon, and just leave it at that, but it turns out there’s a lot more to do in this national park than drink coffee and hang out with coffee growers. Today I’m going to tell you about everything else you can […]
In photos: From the Facebook page Edition VII
Once you’ve got to seven of a thing, then I suspect introducing it is probably unnecessary. In fact, I’m not quite sure what I’m going to write in this part of the post any more. The deal, in case the last six of these have passed you by (and good news if that is the […]
What the Segway? A tour through Copenhagen.
Every now and again, Loz fails completely. Like when we went to Copenhagen. He looks at me, very excited, beaming: “I booked us on a city tour through Copenhagen – a Segway tour!!” I smile politely back: “That’s great. What’s a Segway?” “A Segway! Oh, you know them – they are these big electric scooters […]
