After four days of eating, drinking and walking our way through a surprisingly sunny London, it was once again time for the next part of the journey. And this time, it was for the first time of the trip on a night train, the night train that pretty much was the reason for the whole… Continue reading Stockholm-Scotland by train: London to Inverness [part 5]

Stockholm-Scotland by train: Amsterdam to London [part 4]
When I was around 10 years old, the Eurostar opened and for the first time in history, people could travel by train from the United Kingdom to the rest of Europe. I don’t really remember how I got this information, probably from tv as the internet took another year or two to reach my 1990s… Continue reading Stockholm-Scotland by train: Amsterdam to London [part 4]
Stockholm-Scotland by train: Hamburg to Amsterdam [part 3]
As we lived super close to Hamburg’s central railway station, we checked out around 30 minutes before our departure and took the quick walk there to find our first train of the day. Unfortunately there aren’t any direct trains from Hamburg to Amsterdam, so our first trip of the day was with the sleek German… Continue reading Stockholm-Scotland by train: Hamburg to Amsterdam [part 3]
Stockholm-Scotland by train: Copenhagen to Hamburg [part 2]
Apart from that, the seats were comfortable, there’s a self service bar with coffee and sweets, and the views were at times stunning. Last time we went we used the now terminated train ferry, but I’d say this train was more comfortable as you did not have to get on and off, and could just… Continue reading Stockholm-Scotland by train: Copenhagen to Hamburg [part 2]
Stockholm-Scotland by train: Stockholm to Copenhagen [part 1]
The first part of this year’s train trip (I think I might start doing this every year from now on because train travel is very fun) was, in contrast to our southern-bound trip to Malta a few years ago, going west. All the way from Stockholm, Sweden, to Scotland in the United Kingdom, via Copenhagen,… Continue reading Stockholm-Scotland by train: Stockholm to Copenhagen [part 1]
7 days at Melia Grand Hermitage Varna in a The Level room
I’ve been wanting to visit Bulgaria for quite some time, and after some decently thorough research, I found the Melia Varna maybe a year ago, and started looking into when to go. Fortunately prices were quite good in early June this year, and we decided to book the trip. The hotel is all inclusive, and… Continue reading 7 days at Melia Grand Hermitage Varna in a The Level room
Two good restaurants and a bar in Costa Adeje, Tenerife
During our visit to Tenerife and Costa Adeje, we visited a few nice restaurants outside of Guayarmina Princess where we stayed on a halfboard package. Despite that the food there was really good, we wanted to sample some really local food as well. Picamar tapas Bistro Picamar is a small restaurant located up a few… Continue reading Two good restaurants and a bar in Costa Adeje, Tenerife
One week at the Guayarmina Princess in a ’platinum room’
After two years of covid restrictions, cancelled trips and spending almost all of our time at home, we decided to try out how it was to travel in a changed world. We decided that we wanted to stay in the EU for our first post-covid trip, and decided that Spain, and more precisely Tenerife, offered… Continue reading One week at the Guayarmina Princess in a ’platinum room’
Island hopping in the Stockholm archipelago
Just outside the capital of Sweden, Stockholm, where I live, there is an archipelago of somewhere around 24 000 islands, both inhabited and uninhabited. I should admit I haven’t traveled much in the archipelago, but since this years coronavirus related travel restrictions made me stay at home, I thought why not give an old travel… Continue reading Island hopping in the Stockholm archipelago
Part 12: Where and what to eat in Bangkok
After arriving by train from Chiang Mai, we took the Bangkok MRT to our beautiful hotel, the Amara. We wanted to splurge on our six last days of vacation, so we upgraded to an executive floor room which apart from a better room also came with complimentary cocktails and canapees each night. And I’m very… Continue reading Part 12: Where and what to eat in Bangkok
