  • San Francisco Day 3 250722

    Please watch my video using the link below ⬇️. https://youtu.be/PDUm9J8iKuM We were up bright and early but it was very cool. We’ve noticed a definite weather pattern, cold and windy in the morning, with the sun brightening things up at around 11am to midday. We headed to Boudin for a delicious breakfast of clam chowder…

  • San Francisco Day 2 240722

    Below are some photos, please click on the link ⬇️ https://youtu.be/saa1OUWOkzY Even though we’d been up for 22 hours yesterday, and had a relatively early night, our body clocks were still in UK mode unfortunately. At least I got to write the blog for day 1, even though it was 3:30am!! However, we did feel…

  • California Day 1 LHR-SFO 230722

    Please check out my pictures on the video below ⬇️ https://youtu.be/c7p-VvagwNo Despite the media hype, the worry of British Airways cancelling flights, losing baggage and threats of strikes, our journey to SFO airport was nothing short of perfect. The plan was to travel light, without having to worry about hold luggage being held up, or…

  • Northern Ireland Day 2 Causeway Coastal Route and Bushmills Distillery 020622

    Please look at my images here…. https://youtu.be/XZxEmi2dj4o We had a bit of a lie in before checking out today. The Titanic Hotel has nearby parking which is handy both for this and the neighbouring Titanic Museum. The ticket can be validated when checking out of the hotel and the parking charge is discounted by 50%…

  • Northern Ireland Day 1 Belfast 010622

    https://youtu.be/h2nXgnuD-o4 Nuair a ohionn an deoch istigh bionn an chiall amiugh (when the drink is in, the sense is clear). Travelling from Liverpool-Birkenhead to Belfast via the Stena Line ferry is not the quickest of journeys, but is one of the most relaxing. Crossing the Irish Sea was calm and smooth, and gave us chance…

  • Sevilla Day 5 160422

    Please see below the link to YouTube which has a slideshow of my pictures. https://youtu.be/VLatY5d4LXU Today was mainly about walking, seeing as there was no plan again. The intention had been to visit the Real Fábrica de Tabacos de Sevilla. Google said it was open for visitors from 8am-2pm but it was all closed up…

  • Sevilla Day 1 120422

    https://youtu.be/Clsd0dIYHIA To see photos please click on the link above 👆 The day started with the worry of whether the flight from London Heathrow would actually leave. The media had reported 64 BA flights being cancelled over the weekend, and also chaos at airport check-in and security. However, going through security was seamless with hardly…

    NI Day 10 Back to Belfast, Mourne Seafood Bar, Black Cab Tour, The Falls Road, Shankhill Road, Crown Liquor Saloon 140821

    We rose early to try and get breakfast before it got too busy. The plan paid off as we were seated as soon as we arrived at the Oak Restaurant. Once breakfast was out of the way, we packed up the final bits, did an express checkout and hit the road back to Belfast. It…
