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…
London has a lot of pubs. About 3,500 currently. But, if, like me, you have discovered that you really like & enjoy ‘craft beer’ – then you realise you have just made your life that bit more complicated! The beer Buddha has been awakened! So I have set about creating my own London Craft…
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…
The morning view of the Himalayas was another blinder. Better than the 1st day I would say. This was the last part of our ‘Trek’ & was potentially even shorter than the already ‘joke’ short treks up to now. Needless to say, we had a late start to try & eek it all out a…
8 am the start. Off to the elephant safari……..mmmmm, not sure how we felt about this to be fair. The elephants seem absolutely fine but didn’t like the idea. The reality is that they have been using elephants for yrs & they seemed well cared for. There was 4 of us on a little platform…

Later start – 9 am Brekkie. Local Bus To Tivat To Visit The MarinaWander to find the bus station. W bought tickets to Tivat – one way 2.50€ each. Waited about 25 mins. Was about 15 mins away through the tunnel. Coach stop was about 1Km walk to the 1st marina! Bastard! I thought it…
Up for brekkie. Lovely atmosphere sat outside. Eggs & ‘bacon’ with the church bells ringing. [videopress a7aP6uN1] A Big Sweaty Stair Climb For A Stunning View (Did I Mention The Sweat!) Then the big uphill walk. 45mins. Sweating like a bastard! (check the T-Shirt!) What a view. The sun came out properly at the summit.…
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…
