Or – Is a Five star hotel THAT much better than a four-star hotel? When preparing for my trip last year (2019) I booked almost all my hotel stays in advance (and one AirBnb stay). Bar a few nights in Tajikistan, I was booked for the rest of the nights which meant I knew where …

Yes folks, it’s time to get your tickets and board another train with me! Today I’m taking you from Barcelona, Spain’s most visited city, to the jewel of the south (in my opinion!), Seville! From one great city to another, last year when I visited I was able to make the journey by the fastest …

Yes, it's time for another Friday Vlog, and today I'm excited to share my Vlog on Lisbon and a side trip to the mountainous town of Sintra. I'm really happy with how this one turned out. I happened to take a fair bit of footage in Lisbon which helps, and the fact that the city …

Howdy all again. Yes, this time I’m turning my attention to the eastern part of the continent of Europe. I’ve probably explored Eastern Europe more extensively than Western Europe, so in some ways it should be easier for me to choose my favourite cities. And in some ways, not so much!

Allonsy a France mes amis! Oui, today I am having a look at how my camera at the time found the beautiful city of Lyon, in France. This city almost made my 'Favourite Cities' list from Sunday (check it out if you haven't already) and is certainly my favourite city in France. It's historic, built …
You may have noticed I never post about Amsterdam. Well, I have at some point, many years ago now, but hardly ever. I saw a few posts recently about this city, and it got me to thinking about what it was about that city that just didn’t appeal. I need to start by saying I …
Today’s task is to continue on from where I left on going through continents and talking about my favourite cities – and today I’m writing about my favourite cities in Western Europe. I decided to split Europe into West and East for the purposes of these posts as they do feel, at times, to me …
A little break from Covid Cam, this Saturday I thought I'd show you this amazing bank note produced in Yugoslavia/Serbia somewhere around the breakup of Yugoslavia. This shows exactly what happens when currency devalues at an uncontrollable rate. What you see below is both sides to the five hundred BILLION Dinar note. I had a …
Another look via video at a place visited in last year's trip. This time to the capital of Belarus, Minsk! Enjoy! Thanks for watching today, May the Journey Never End!
