Around a month ago we finally went North. Well we've been to Belfast and Mourne Mountains before, but by North I mean Norther Ireland further than Belfast. It was on our list forever, but you know how it goes. There are so many places to see and people to meet. So why should you visit Northern Ireland Giant's … Continue reading Go North!

24 hours in Copenhagen
Usually when we go on a trip that requires getting on a plane we go for at least 3 days. This time we found a great deal and decided to visit Copenhagen for only 24 hours - we landed on Saturday at 3pm and departed on Sunday at 4pm. Surprisingly it was less stressful than I imagine. First of all if you … Continue reading 24 hours in Copenhagen
Kerry is beautiful even in the fog
Travelling around Ireland is always risky business. The weather is unpredictable, especially in late autumn and winter. We once travel along the coast and couldn't see the sea. When we visited Kerry in November and we were blessed with one day of gorgeous weather, the rest was well... good enough. What you can see on the first image, should … Continue reading Kerry is beautiful even in the fog
Barcelona – random selection of thoughts and photos
It's hard to sum up a city, any city in a few words. I usually compare cities to people, but Barcelona has so many faces. It's lively, it knows how to chill out, knows how to party, it's friendly, it's beautiful, but also knows how to chat and enjoy itself. A perfect friend. I spent … Continue reading Barcelona – random selection of thoughts and photos
Spain – loose ends
That's the last part of photos from Andalusia. And apart from visiting quite stellar tourist places mentioned before like Alhambra, Granada, white villages or Nerja, we managed to squeeze in a few random, more off beaten track trips. One day thanks to our hiking friend, we decided to do a short loop walk around Castril. I … Continue reading Spain – loose ends
Competa and Frigiliana – the Spanish white villages
I knew I wanted to visit Frigiliana from the first time I've learnt about it. A small town with narrow, steep streets and white houses. But many of Spanish towns look like this. We visited two - Frigiliana and Cómpeta. They almost blurred into one, not because they were a like, just because of the whiteness of … Continue reading Competa and Frigiliana – the Spanish white villages
From Baza to Nerja, our first visit in Spain
Our cats' and this blog's birthday fall around the same week, a week we usually spend away. Last year we went to Edinburgh, this year we went to Spain. We don't plan it this way, it just happens. We were traveling with two of our friends and their 10 month baby, so we haven't had too … Continue reading From Baza to Nerja, our first visit in Spain
Wandering around Paris
There are cities that I've visited traditionally. I bought a travel guide, I browsed TripAdvisor, I checked photos and than I did proper sightseeing. But Paris is not one of them. I've visited Paris for the first time in January 2011. It was cold, but sunny. I didn't have to worry about anything because Tomek spent a few … Continue reading Wandering around Paris
Versailles differently
Can majestic, touristy Palace of Versailles be as well cosy? I didn't think so, but it actually can. I don't what pops into your mind when you hear Versailles, but I was thinking - majestic, showy residence of French kings with huge gardens. Just next thought was, it will be very touristy. Queues I wasn't wrong. There were a queue to enter, it … Continue reading Versailles differently
Lesser-known places in Dublin – Glasnevin Cemetery
I don't how about you, but I like cemeteries. I've lived next to a third largest cemetery in Europe, when I lived in Szczecin. It is beautiful, there are areas where you feel like you are in a park or woods rather than in a cemetery. If you ever visit Szczecin, it is definitely worth visiting. Glasnevin … Continue reading Lesser-known places in Dublin – Glasnevin Cemetery
