Dubrovnik Day 3 281021
https://youtu.be/BnWAHDvTTKo I woke today to the most beautiful sunrise, wishing I could stay here forever. I can understand why Dubrovnik is called the Pearl of the Adriatic with its beautiful coastline and sparkling waters. It’s absolutely stunning. It was a leisurely morning after breakfast on the hotel sun terrace, with a bit of time spent…

NI Day 8 Slieve Donard 120821
The theme for today, since we got up, was all about exercise. Booking the spa and swimming pool seemed like a really good idea yesterday, not so much this morning. However, an early morning swim, sauna and vitality pool before breakfast was a really well executed plan and set us up for the day. Booking…

NI Day 6 Enniskillen, Cuilcagh Mountain Boardwalk, Scarva, Blackwell House, 100821
An early night meant an early start today due to having a longer journey. We were heading to Cuilcagh Mountain, 10 miles or so from Enniskillen, about 63 miles from Derry. We had left by 8:45am, and roads were fairly quiet once we had left Derry. Our journey took us through County Tyrone, skimming the…
