During the Höstlov break we decided that we wanted to explore some more of Sweden. We were already heading down to Norrtälje, a large town north east of Stockholm, to see an old colleague in their new home and so Marholmen was the perfect extra night.

A Road Trip Through Canada: Toronto to Montreal
Canada has been high on the wish list for a long time but when we received an invite to a wedding in Montreal, we knew our time to visit Canada had finally arrived. I love a good road trip and it had been four years since we last did one so we decided to make…
Europe by Rail: 4 nights in Budapest
Leaving Vienna at 12:42pm we arrived at Budapest-Keleti station at 3:25pm (booked via Trainline). As we were spending 4 nights and 5 full days, the 72 hour ticket wasn’t quite enough but you can get the 15 day pass for only an extra 400ft. For a total of 5950ft pp (around 15 euros) that was…

Kawasaki, Yokohama and Odaiba
After our stay in Tokyo is was time to head out west to Yokohama to visit our good friend Yoshi. It turns out that Yokohama is the second biggest city in Japan which surprised me as I always thought that title belonged to Osaka but alas. Based on population size Yokohama is bigger but I…
Tokyo: Our Tourist Edition
During our time in Japan, we spent plenty of time visiting the tourist spots of Tokyo but but more as a tour guide to our friends and family rather than a tourist. We loved this because when life in Japan became more ‘normal’ seeing the magic of this crazy country through their eyes made it…
