A Weekend in Geneva Switzerland has long been on my travel hit list, and thanks to Geneva Tourism, I was able to tick it off with a little getaway before Christmas. This is going to be a bit of a bumper post - get yourself a cuppa! I've always found Switzerland very interesting - bordering France, ...
Autumn at Viktualienmarkt

Zugspitze: The Top of Germany
Zugspitze - The Top of Germany On our recent trip to Garmisch, we spent our second day 2962m up! Quite literally known as 'The Top of Germany', Zugspitze is Germany's tallest peak. To get there involves a journey by cogwheel train through a tunnel in the mountain, which leaves you off at ...
The Hills are Alive… Garmisch Partenkirchen
Garmisch Partenkirchen First of all, I do apologise if the title of this post has put 'The Sound of Music' in your head. But I guess it's not the worst ear-worm to have, right?

A Week in Paris: Part 1
Just over a month ago, my beau Jamie and I jetted off for what was a beautiful week in La Ville-Lumière.
