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…
Edinburgh, United Kingdom
Let me just start this post by saying that Edinburgh is awesome. It is one of our favourite cities from our entire journey, if not the favourite. Edinburgh is full of rich history, architecture, personality, and charm. It is a…
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…

Berlin, Germany
From Amsterdam, we entered unfamiliar lands: Deutschland. Neither of us had ever been and did not know what to expect from Berlin or Germany, but needless to say, we had a great time. Let me just preface this post by saying,…
