The cruise ship was Norwegian, registered in Nassau, managed by Americans for Americans. They must have also played a part in the ship’s design, they had to – everything’s big in the US.   Our voyage seemed to attract the ones whom must always come ... Read more >

Morrocan Senses Assault

MOROCCO | Saturday, 11 Oct 2008 | Views [874]

Our Moroccan jaunt started ominously with our luggage being refused due to being too heavy.   We then had to pay for an extra piece, once we’d sorted through (at the lovely counter full of people) and found an old canvas bag inside an outside pocket.... Read more >

Luxury at Sea at Last !!

MALTA | Wednesday, 8 Oct 2008 | Views [723]

We were dying to say goodbye to Barcelona and get on our ship and after a lovely sunny outdoor breaky got a cab to the boat, the Norweigan Gem. It was massive.    It was so exciting to get onboard.   We were freaked out immediately by its size and ... Read more >


Barcelona Plus

Into a new apartment not far from our fab location last time.   Unfortunately, our apartment luck has run out.   This one is not so good and is actually two apartments, one under the other.   So we use one for living and one for sleeping.   It’s ... Read more >


Brendan's Turn to Talk

TT’s been responsible for all the blog’s to date, so I thought it was time I put finger to keyboard. I bet Tracey didn’t tell you we’ve been robbed countless times whilst in Europe. First it was the people who rent us the apartments, then each and ... Read more >

Ooooh Baby, Barcelona!

SPAIN | Monday, 22 Sep 2008 | Views [686]

We signed off on San Sebastian at one of the city’s most expensive restaurants on the beach which was just divine (my choice and b’s blood pressure suffered).   The set lunch menu suited us, and believe it or not, they have a small playground hidden ... Read more >

Oh my goodness.   We have now eaten at the 2 Chinese (or Oriental as one is termed) restaurants within 50 metres of our apartment.   I think they are the only 2 in town though – this must be Chinatown then! Outstanding!   We loooooved both nights ... Read more >


Sunny San Sebastian!

Our apartment is wonderful.   New with 2 bedrooms with en-suites, terrace over the front street and one in the back for the sun.   It has all the mod cons and will be wonderful for the next 2 weeks.   Just a 5 min walk to the beach and many lovely ... Read more >

Guggenheim and one way streets!

SPAIN | Thursday, 4 Sep 2008 | Views [644]

Today we’ve hired a car to visit my much loved little seaside town Noja which is only an hour to the west of Bilbao.   I spent 7 weeks here in 1990 and 2 weeks in 1991 and was excited to go back and have a look at it.   We drove through Santona, a ... Read more >

Hola Amigos!   I am sooo excited to be on Spanish soil again and Bilbao has not disappointed. Even the smell arriving at 11.30pm was wonderful and the taxi driver super fast to our hotel.   They upgraded us to a big suite and we had a huge overnight ... Read more >

We caught a fabulous train from Paris to Munich or Munchen as its called here.  Hardly noticed the 6 hour trip with books, colouring in books and portable dvd player to keep us occupied.  Seems like weve been away a month but only a week today, as weve ... Read more >
