Day 10 – Thursday 14th July (Tampere) Moose count = not a single one! Today the weather was much improved after the storms of the previous night and for us it was all about Tampere. The apartment was in the middle of a building site (some sort of tunnel seems to be under construction, for…

Travel 2016 – Naantali, Moominworld, Ahvenisto, Tampere, Day 9
Finland 2016 – Day 9, Wednesday 13th July (Naantali, Moominworld, Ahvenisto, Tampere) Moose count = I’ll give you three guesses! Here’s where things started to get a bit weird, at least if you were expecting the touristy stuff to continue unabated. We repacked the car, tidied up the apartment (we never did meet our host…
Travel 2016 – Ekenas, Raseborg Castle, Turku, Day 7
Day 7, Monday 11th July Moose count = 0, even on a plate It was time to leave Helsinki, checking out of the hotel Klaus K after one more of their excellent breakfasts. The bread alone was worth getting up for and the other offerings such as smoked vendace were also excellent! We did a…
Travel 2016 – Helsinki, Day 6
Day 6, Sunday 10th July Moose count = 0, but lots of signs Well the day didn’t start too well with gloomy skies and the threat of rain as we strolled down the Esplanade yet again, this time to take the historic tram tour, and then the rather longer sightseeing tour on the Number 2…
Food 2016 – Le Gavroche, London
Monday, May 9th 2016 – Le Gavroche, London So after what feels like years of completely failing to get a table at Le Gavroche an invitation came through to attend a celebratory event there. I just needed to reply quickly to the email and hope I was faster than anyone else. I was! I paid…
Travel 2016 – S’Hertogenbosch, Zaltbommel, Day 3
Sunday, March 5th 2016 – S’Hertogenbosch, Zaltbommel After another excellent (but egg-avoiding) breakfast, we headed out again, discovering the local market was in full swing. A stop to buy bread was essential although I was impressed that we managed to avoid caving in to our taste-buds and didn’t buy vast amounts of cheese to go…
Travel 2016 – S’Hertogenbosch, Vught, Day 2
Friday, March 4th 2016 – Day 2Â (S’Hertogenbosch, Vught) A good night’s sleep and we woke to decidedly inclement weather, unfortunately. However, breakfast was in the dry of the hotel undercroft. It was a fairly impressive buffet, though it did come with the semi-compulsory egg that is a feature of everywhere I’ve ever stayed in…
Travel 2016 – S’Hertogenbosch, Day 1
Thursday, March 3rd 2016 – Den Bosch We’d been planning on catching the Hieronymus Bosch exhibition in his home town of S’Hertogenbosch (or Den Bosch as it’s more commonly -and pronounceably – known) since we’d first got wind of it back in 2015, and the looming new job start focussed our minds on getting it…
Travel 2015 – Bruges, Brussels, Travel, Day 4
Tuesday, 15th December 2015 – Bruges A travel day but with added Belgium! We had checked the timetables carefully to ensure we didn’t face a rerun of Saturday’s ridiculously slow journey from Brussels to Bruges. We checked out of the Medici and loaded our shopping and luggage into the taxi that the receptionist organised for…
Travel 2015 – Bruges, Day 3
Monday, December 14th 2016 – Bruges Monday was “how many museums can you pack into one day” as we endeavoured to see as much as possible and coincidentally also get as much value for money as we could out of the Bruges City Card. We were woken early anyway as we’d left the window open…
