Outfit of the Day – French Flair

I always feel a little bit French when I wear this dress for some reason. Anyone who's seen my other OOTD posts knows that I'm a fan of stripes, so this dress should come as no surprise. It's lightweight and summery, and I think the simple colours make…

Musings From A Park In Spring

The sun beams down from overhead, illuminating the world and touching all with its warmth. The sky is a brilliant shade of blue, signalling the start of the summer months, and only a few wispy clouds drift lazily through it's never ending expanse. The fresh green grass is…

European Escapade Day 25 – Amsterdam to London

So that's it then. Twenty five days travelling through Europe to come full circle and finish back where it all began in London. Nothing eventful happened today, but I thought I'd write one last post to sum up my trip. It's been an amazing experience, which I will…

European Escapade Day 24 – Amsterdam

Amsterdam is another very unique city in Europe. The canals and buildings make it look very pretty, but it also has a quirkiness and an energy to it, especially at night. Our first stop this morning was the I Amsterdam sign for some classic tourist photos, and it…

European Escapade Day 23 – Rhine Valley to Amsterdam

The Netherlands are so different to the scenery we've been travelling through recently - swapping mountains for the lowlands. Still very pretty though! We didn't have a long drive day, so there was plenty of time to experience some Dutch culture once we got close to Amsterdam. …

European Escapade Day 22 – Swiss Alps to Rhine Valley

Another driving day with a few interesting stops on the way. We passed into Germany again and made a stop in Heidelberg. It seemed like quite a pretty little town, but we only had enough time there to grab a quick lunch, before piling back on the coach.…

European Escapade Day 21 – Swiss Alps

One of my favourite things about Europe has to be its diversity. Last week we were sunbathing in Italy - today we were playing in the snow atop a mountain in the Swiss Alps. After breakfast we took the train to the top of Jungfrau, the highest railway…

European Escapade Day 20 – Austrian Tyrol to Swiss Alps

Today was another coach day where we crammed in plenty of other things on the same day. First of all, we stopped off at Swarovski Crystal World. Their collection of artworks made of crystals is both amazing and very, very weird. Things like the the crystal dome are…

European Escapade Day 19 – Austrian Tyrol

I think today has been the laziest day of this trip so far for me. I didn't sign up for the optional mountain biking or paragliding, so I had the day entirely free, and as we're out in the Alps instead of a city, there aren't any sights…

European Escapade Day 18 – Munich to Austrian Tyrol

Whoo, what a hectic day! We left Munich this morning to travel to our special stopover in an Austrian Gasthof in Hopfgarten. The scenery here is absolutely stunning, towering mountains and lush valleys below, which makes for a nice drive. We had a few stops on…
