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…

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…
