Everybody knows about Pompeii but have you even heard of Herculaneum? It was a small town that was also destroyed by the eruption of Mt Vesuvius in 79 AD. If your short on time and can’t make it to Pompeii or just love all things history like I do then you don’t want to miss this great little site. Just catch the Circumvesuviana train line towards Sorrento and hop off […]

From Rain to Sun in Stockholm
I started off my europe trip wanting to make the most of every day and not waste time just for the sake of it.

With my late start already putting me behind I rushed […]

With all the major Copenhagen attractions out of the way Cailin and myself (ok mainly Cailin) decided to visit the Copenhagen Zoo. Top of the list was to see the Polar Bears as Cailin apparently had never seen them before, even if her mother disagreed with her. Before the Zoo however we stopped into the Hans Christian Andersen Museum and learn’t a little bit about the man and the stories […]
