Monday 14th October, 2026 – San Sebastian / Donostia, Hondaribbia After another night of not very good sleep thanks to the denizens of Kelly’s, we fancied an outing to somewhere outside town – especially as many things are closed on a Monday in San Sebastian. There were several options so we had a look to…

Travel 2026 – San Sebastian/ Donostia, Spain – Day 4
Sunday 13th October, 2026 – San Sebastian / Donostia Despite being less than refreshed after a poor night’s sleep thanks to the revellers downstairs (don’t stay on the same block as Kelly’s is my advice) I was first up and ready to go. So I went for a run along the seafront, which was a…
Travel 2026 – San Sebastian / Donostia, Spain – Days 1, 2 and 3
Thursday 10th – Saturday 12th October, 2026 – Portsmouth to San Sebastian / Donostia Freshly back from a trip to Basque Country, Asturias, and Cantabria all I can say is why did it take us this long to get there?! Apart from a single long weekend (Valencia), a short work trip to Barcelona, and a…
Travel 2026 – Athens, Greece (Itinerary)
For my own reference – and for anyone else that might find it helpful, this is our original itinerary for Athens. It didn’t quite work out like that, partly because in March a lot of sites close early. So, for what it’s worth, here you go! Sunday March 15th Crowne Plaza Hotel, T4 Heathrow …
Travel 2026 – Athens, Greece – Day 5
Friday 20th March, 2026 – Athens Friday would be our final day but at least it would be a relatively full one. With our flight out at 19:50 that night, it meant a hotel pickup at 16:45 so we had time to get to a handful more of the main sights in the city. We…
Travel 2026 – Athens, Greece – Day 3
Wednesday 18th March, 2026 – Athens Having spent a lot of time looking at the Acropolis, it was now time to get up close with the cradle of democracy. We had not booked in advance, assuming (correctly as it turned out) that it would be fine to just fetch up and buy tickets on the…
Travel 2026 – Athens, Greece – Day 2
Tuesday 17th March, 2026 – Athens After a fairly late night, we still managed to drag ourselves awake early enough to get breakfast in the Club Intercontinental where we enjoyed the view over to the Acropolis, Phillipapos Hill, and Lycabetus Hill. The weather looked OK, perhaps a tad greyer than we might have wanted, but…
Travel 2026 – Athens, Greece – Days 0 and 1
Sunday 15th – Monday 16th March, 2026 – Home to Athens So, Athens, finally – a trip we had intended to take in 2020 (and we all know how that panned out) has been completed and was generally fabulous. Back sometime in 2025 British Airways were doing one of their periodic sales of “holidays” which…
Travel 2025 – France – Day 5 (Les Baux-de-Provence)
We had a plan for Day 5, because I do my research. And so we set out to attempt a circular drive around our little slice of heaven, despite the day having dawned cloudy and grey, with the hills almost invisible as we ate breakfast. And so to the plan, which like many a plan…
Travel 2025 – Cunard Queen Anne – Day 13 (Southampton to Home)
Wednesday 8th October, 2025 – Southampton to Home (via Hungerford) And so we arrived back in Southampton ready to disembark after 12 nights of being so well looked after. It was going to be a wrench to get off. Breakfast was early (they stop serving at 08:00 on the final morning and there’s a limited…
