Travelling | Craft Beer | Life
Part #2 of our Cambodian journey was upon us. We were off for some chilled days on the island of Koh Rong Samloem (or Koh Rong Sanloem – even Google doesn’t seem to be sure!). We had our final breakfast in Siem Reap & caught a tuk-tuk for the 30-minute journey to the airport. An…
The trip starts with a taxi to Heathrow. All good. Disaster strikes when we find that terminal 2 does not have a Wetherspoons! – What the fuck!? We have a routine! Crisis averted when we discover London’s Pride which had a few craft beers on tap & served eggs benedict. We flew with Thai Airways…
Another trip booked with ‘Untravelled Paths’ & another success. This time a 4 night trip to the Puglia region of Italy – The Dolce Vita Puglia Experience We flew from Luton to Bari with Wizz Air. It was very cheap, about £70 each return. It would have been even cheaper had Wizz not done their…
The first thing to say is that this was a lovely location for a week’s chilled getaway! We would definitely return……not something we usually say or do but this was perfect for a simple week away. The minor ‘blip’ is that it flies direct from Gatwick. From Luton, you can fly to Corfu & get…
One place you have to visit if you go to Ljubljana is Lake Bled. As soon as you search for the Top 10 things to do this is in the top 3. This is when we discovered how efficient Slovenian buses were & cheap! They turn up exactly on time & arrive the same. Off…
Well, the first thing to say is what a destination for a short break! We loved it. Part of this was because Ljubljana also sells craft beer! We were there for 3 nights & was pretty much perfect. We stayed in an Airbnb. Through the accommodation, we organised a lift from the airport when we…
Two days before the trip we discovered something weird with our flights – they weren’t confirmed. Eventually we rang them to find out what was going on & they very calmy said that the flight out we booked had been cancelled! WTF!! Just as calmly they then said another had been put on if we…
Pissing down – we had done really well weather’wise – today it was pretty much lashing it (still warm tho!). We wandered about & found the Central Market – a massive place full ‘shit-naks’, meats & stuff. The World’s Most Expensive Potatoes! We were starving & found a place doing food. We then purchased some…
We got on the Metro at 9am – like everywhere in Europe the trains are SO cheap & generally reliable it is a pleasure to use! Obviously, I DO NOT include the UK in this where they are just SO expensive!!! (sorry, I hate using CAPS) but it does really wind me up! Anyway, we…
Walking. A lot of walking Oh, my Christ we did walk a lot! Synagogue – we looked – bollocks to paying, it wasn’t cheap & was a queue. When you walk around its perimeter you see it all anyway! Beer Selling Farmers Market with Cheese Simpla Kertz farmers market & 10.30 beer – Awesome, was…
The Start – Luton Airport – A lovely pint of Camden Pale Ale. We did Priority Lane & didn’t really need it. it always seems to work that way. Duty-Free wandering about – tried Penhaligons aftershaves – Radcliff smelling good. Cheeky Boots £4 measls for the plane. Text from Sis to say Mum has eyes…
