Two Weeks Relaxing in the Spanish Lake District
We have just returned home from a relaxing two weeks in the Spanish Lake District, feeling refreshed and ready to take on the world again. After working in Iceland (and loving it) we decided that we would like to have some summer sunshine and chose to go back to the place we have spent a lot of time over the past few European winters. We have made some great friends there and we also wanted to see the area in a different season. We went on a number of day trips and wanted to share these experiences with you.

Paris of the 90s
So, what first struck me when I entered the arrivals terminal at Václav Havel Airport were the select few people that sat awkwardly, smoking in a glass room. A room which was built into one of the long, clinical white walls, with heavy window panes. You know the kind, the kind that resemble something out of the Starship Enterprise.

What's That Smell?
We all know with every country comes its own quirky customs and cultures. Us Brits are the best for forcing our superior traditions on to "foreigners" with such barefaced yet subliminal effort. But the nation I've come to speak of today is a nation that has many customs that are widely accepted ways of behaving, but ones to which I find particularly strange. In what world is it normal to leave babies outside in sub zero temperatures? Nor is it appetising to eat the flesh of fish marinated in piss?

Jungfrauhoch, Switzerland
Standing on the Jungfrau Platform at 3454m above sea level, this icy experience and views will take your breath away... Found halfway between the Swiss-Italian border and the beautiful water features of Interlaken, Mt. Jungfrau can be found next to Eiger and Monch, with views of the Aletsch Glacier. The best starting point for this trip is departing from Lauterbrunnen, easily accessible by road and rail and with great connections to Jungfrau region. Whether visiting the Jungfrau for onsite activities or following one of the regional Glacier Trails, the Jungfraujoch, the Top of Europe, definitely should not be missed out of a travel itinerary.

According to Greek mythology, the gods chose places that would serve as the best places for admirers to pledge their worship to them.

Rotterdam, A Home Away from Home. Top Story - July 2017.
This past weekend I did some travelling once more, this time to Rotterdam, and let me tell you, it was fantastic. Right now I’m at a crossroad in my life, perhaps another post soon will explain it, but for now, let’s focus on Rotterdam. But all I can say is that this city, that reminded me of both Lisbon and of New York, did wonders for my soul!
