Monday 9th to Wednesday 11th January, 2017 – Copenhagen, Denmark Here are a few more reflections on my first visit to Copenhagen. It’s work not pleasure so there’s not much sightseeing apart from walking about after a day in the office. So a second walk in Copenhagen after work took me down past the Tivoli…

Travel 2017 – Copenhagen, Day 1
Monday January 9th, 2017 – Copenhagen, Denmark A new year, a new country and a city that was on my list of “would be nice for a long weekend”, Copenhagen. As it is I’m here for work for three days, flying back on Thursday, but work has never stopped me being curious about my surroundings,…
Travel 2016 – Berlin Bears
Friday to Monday, 2nd to 5th December 2016 – Berlin There are an awful lot of bears in Berlin – here are just a few of them!
Travel 2016 – Lübeck, Aalst, Day 19
Day 19 – Saturday 23rd July (Lübeck, Aalst) Moose count = in Germany? What do you think? So technically not Finland anymore but it was part of the trip so it gets the heading anyway… This was the day I seriously questioned the sanity of driving all the way from the top of Germany to…
Travel 2016 – Haikko, Helsinki, Travemünde, Lübeck, Days 17-18
Day 18 – Thursday 21st July (Haikko, Helsinki, Travemünde, Lübeck) Moose count = Nope. Nada. Zilch. What moose? There are no moose! Finland has no moose! Finland needs no moose! With the ferry scheduled for 15:00 latest check in there wasn’t a great deal of time to achieve anything much. We “scientifically” packed the car,…
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…
Travel 2016 – Lappeenranta, Day 14
Day 14 – Monday 18th July (Lappeenranta) Moose count = still not a one! We got up in a spirit of adventure ready to see if the hotel breakfasts were any better than their dreadful dinners. They weren’t. With an hour still to run most things had run out (there was no fruit left apart…
Travel 2016 – Savonlinna, Kuopio, Joroinen, Imatra, Day 13
Day 13 – Sunday 17th July (Savonlinna, Kuopio, Imatra) Moose count = Possibly in a stew! Also, one stuffed moose (but the museum was closed)! Today was the day we had to move on again. This time we did a somewhat illogical side trip to Kuopio en route to Imatra. If you look at the…
Travel 2016 – Savonlinna, Day 12
Day 12, Saturday 16th July (Savonlinna) Moose count = does a photo of a moose count? The day started with a quick trip to the market to get supplies to have with the lörtsy for dinner, and to extact some items from the car like maps and guidebooks. The kauppatori at Savonlinna is smaller than…
