Our first two days spent in London were day trips in from the “country” with Margo. For day one, we were up bright and early for our full-day Margo Tour of London, which began at the Tower of London at…
Norfolk, United Kingdom
Norwich, or more accurately the Norfolk area, was one of the places we were more excited to visit during our UK tour, the main reason was Margo, who is not only family, but also one of the most fun and…
Nottingham, United Kingdom
We had a short and sweet two days in Nottingham. After riding the train from Inverness for just over eight hours, we arrived at the train station and made our way through the very confusing (apparently only for me) streets…
Inverness, United Kingdom
After our busy time in Edinburgh, we headed up north to the beautiful highlands and the very Scottish town of Inverness. The four-hour train ride to Inverness was a great way to take in the beautiful countryside with its green…
Edinburgh, United Kingdom

Stratford-upon-Avon, United Kingdom
We arrived in Stratford-upon-Avon early Sunday morning, well refreshed from our recharge days in Birmingham, ready to tackle the quiet, charming English town. After checking-in at our little B&B, which also had an awesome English Breakfast, we made the 15-minute…
Birmingham, United Kingdom
Birmingham was our first stop in the UK, thanks to being the cheapest direct flight from Rome, and our “recovery” city. After two months of super fun, but also super tiring, days on the old continent, Greg and I needed…
Rome, Italy
For our first day in Rome, we hit the streets for a walking tour of the city’s historic core. The tour began at the, for reasons beyond my grasp, famous Spanish Steps, which are just plain old steps done in…
Florence, Italy
After Venice, the next stereotypical-first-time-in-Italy destination was Florence. We arrived in Florence mid-day on Wednesday and after a short 15-minute walk from the train station, we checked-in and settled in our spacious room at our B&B. For our first day…
Venice, Italy
It took some convincing, but in the end Greg agreed that we should visit Venice for a couple of days. Not that I was dying to see this city or anything, but you cannot go to Italy and not see…
