Thursday October 5th – Day 13, Kinheim, Beilstein, Cochem, Walporzheim, Ahrweiler It was Thursday in week two so we were on the move again as we began a slow haul towards home. I did manage to get a run in that morning, down to the Enkirch lock and back, with a head wind all the…

Travel 2017 – Moselle Road Trip, Day 4
Tuesday September 26th – Day 4, Burg Eltz, Burg Pyrmont and Burg Thurant Tuesday turned out to be all about the castles, one of the things people tend to think of first when they think of German tourism. Lynne had demanded castles and so I was keen she should get them! The plan was to…
Food/Travel 2017 – Moselle Road Trip, Day 3
Monday September 25th – Day 3, Trier, Neumagen-Dhron, Veldenz, Zeltingen-Rachtig On Monday we were still with the Romans, starting the day at the Amphitheatre, which was just down the road from our hotel. The day again started with fog on the heights, and it was chilly and damp, which may have been why we pretty…
Food 2017 – Victor’s Fine Dining by Christian Bau
Saturday September 23rd – Day 1, Victor’s Fine Dining by Christian Bau And so to dinner on the very first day of the holiday. I’m not sure why but I was a bit surprised on looking at dining options for the hotel to discover that in addition to a hotel restaurant, and a bistro-type establishment,…
Food/Travel 2017 – Day 4, Tuusula, Finland
Monday 12th June, 2017 – Tuusula, Finland And so, after a gloriously sunny Sunday, we were back in the gloom on Monday, with a cold damp morning and increasing drizzle. It was time to go home anyway, and we’d had a text from Finnair suggesting that, as it was the first day of the Summer…
Food/Travel 2017 – Day 3, Hämeenlinna/Ahvenisto, Finland
Sunday June 11th, 2017 – Hämeenlinna/Ahvenisto, Finland And so on Sunday, having spent Saturday half-frozen, the temperature went up by around 12 degrees Celsius, and pretty much all of the town seemed to be out and about in shorts, and sunburned noses. We made our way to the circuit where we enjoyed some very fine…
Food/Travel 2017 – Day 2, Hämeenlinna/Ahvenisto, Finland
Saturday 10th June, 2017 – Hämeenlinna/Ahvenisto, Finland Saturday saw us mostly at the race track and mostly inside as it was extremely cold out there. We did emerge from the cafe for the SMP F4 NEZ babies, and for the Porsches, once we realised that the son of someone we used to watch race was…
Food/Travel 2017 – Day 1, Hämeenlinna/Ahvenisto, Finland
Friday June 9th, 2017 – Hämeenlinna, Finland We learned quite a lot on our most recent trip to Finland, starting with “just because it’s June, don’t expect it to be warm!” and rounding up to “there is absolutely sod all to do in Hämeenlinna on a Sunday night after 9pm”! It was probably the latter…
Travel 2016 – Porvoo, Day 16
Day 16 – Wednesday, 20th July (Porvoo) Moose count = Are you trying to be funny?! The day began with breakfast on the terrace at Haikko Manor itself in the Romanov Dining Room – and very good it was too with all sorts of choice and lots of lactose and gluten free options, so much…
Travel 2016 – Imatra, Hameenlinna, Akaa, Haikko, Day 15
Day 15 – Tuesday 19th July (Imatra, Hameenlinna, Akaa, Haikko) Moose count = what do you think? Zero! That’s how many! We were back in the realm of the slightly surreal again this time, but first we needed to check out of the hotel after getting our own breakfast sorted. For the third time I Iet…
