    A modern twist on high tea at Crown’s Waiting Room

    June 27, 2014 /

      I’m a big fan of that little indulgence of high tea and today I visited The Waiting Room at Crown in Melbourne.  There is definitely something very glutinous about eating cakes, pastries and sandwiches until your hearts content and I’m certainly not afraid to admit I did just that!  Just mention the word cakes and I will be there! With a modern twist on high tea at Crown’s Waiting room, you will be delighted with the unique offerings being served in the lobby bar. The waiting room is one of Melbourne’s most luxurious lobby bars and exudes an opulent 1940s feel, it is quiet and intimate.  Today I dined…

    Visiting Disneyland Paris at Christmas time

    June 22, 2014 /

    Ask any child, where in the world would they like to go most, and you will get a resounding response of Disneyland! So it’s fairly safe to say that Disneyland is on top of most kids wish list. Now combine Disneyland with a trip to Paris and it will soon be on every adults bucket list too!  When I surprised my two teenagers with tickets to Disneyland in Paris, I can tell you there was much excitement in my house!  We were off to spend Christmas in Europe and Disneyland was what my two kids wanted to see the most. Whether you are young or young at heart, no matter…

    The town Colmar is straight out of a fairytale book

    June 17, 2014 /

    If there ever was a town that makes you feel like you have stepped out of a fairy tale, Colmar would be that town. Literally, Colmar is straight out of a fairytale book. Located in the heart of Colmar is the enchanting “old town” – with its beautifully preserved 9th Century architecture, colourful buildings and little romantic canals, it truly gives you a glimpse of how life may have looked over 1000 years ago.  Colmar is not only known for it’s fairytale charm but also for it’s local gourmet produce and beautiful fine wine. I was absolutely enamored by this little part of town and it’s a must see if you…

    A most unusual book shop in Venice

    June 14, 2014 /

    Venice is known for canals, St Marks Square and its mysterious narrow passageways, and through the latter you can make some unique discoveries when you venture off the main path. I did just that and I stumbled upon this unusual bookshop in the area of Castello. The faded sign out the front simply said “Welcome to the most beautiful book shop in the world”.  I certainly thought that it has the most beautiful location in the world, so quite intrigued I went in to explore. What I found inside this most unusual book shop in Venice was extraordinary – a confusion of books of every kind, on any topic and…

    The infamous Budapest to Belgrade overnight train

    June 9, 2014 /

    I’m a big advocate when it comes to train travel.  Given the choice of trains or planes, I’ll take the train every time.  Let’s just say that I would prefer to keep my feet on the ground whenever possible.  Having travelled across Europe by train to various destinations, I have experienced the good, the bad and the downright ugly! The Budapest to Belgrade overnight train was in the downright ugly category.  Faced with the prospect of being thrown off the train in the middle of the night, at the border of Hungary and Serbia, is something you do not want to experience. Having spent around 24 hours sightseeing in the…

    5 reasons people are afraid to travel solo and how they can be overcome

    June 5, 2014 /

      Have you ever found yourself planning for that trip of a lifetime – you know exactly where you want to go, you’ve scrimped and saved and you are ready to book those flights at a drop of a hat! But there is one thing that’s not going according to the plan … you have no one to travel with. You may find yourself in a situation where your friends are either not financial to travel or they simply have other responsibilities and priorities that prevent them from being able to travel at that point in time. So where does that leave you? All those dreams you had about sailing…

    Madame Brussels: enjoy a garden party on the rooftop

    May 25, 2014 /

      Hidden bars is what Melbourne is known for and this one is accessed from a dodgy looking elevator that gives no clue of what is beyond. But once the doors fling open you find yourself stepping into a marvellous and colourful venue beginning with the main parlour. The parlour is grassed so you could almost kick off your shoes and wander about barefoot – okay, it is fake grass, but it still cuts a good look, complete with garden furniture and the odd leather couch thrown in the mix. The bar sets its scene as though you have stepped back in time, having a garden party complete with gorgeous…

    Budapest the pearl of the Danube

    May 10, 2014 /

      Budapest the pearl of the Danube – as it’s often referred to – would have to be the most underrated city in Europe. Even if you have limited time it’s still quite possible to see a lot in 24 hours in Budapest. I found myself in this exact situation after missing a flight that affected my original plans for Budapest, leaving me with only one day. That’s all it took really, 24 hours and I was hooked! Once you discover Budapest you will be yearning to go back and explore this truly amazing city with a lot more time on your hands. Budapest flanks either side of the Danube…

    If you are planning on visiting Europe and are undecided about when to go? Then read on for an essential guide on what to expect from visiting Europe in summer or winter. Europe is a popular destination at any time of the year but particularly in the warmer months of summer.
