As I said in my previous post, this is a place I had wanted to see years ago when I was living in England. I felt with this trip, being on this side of Europe again, I knew I had to get here. Thankfully Mum and Dad wanted to go as well, or I would … More Auschwitz & Birkenau
Today we are arriving in Budapest for our final full day with Adventures by Disney. Tomorrow we are set to leave the ship to start the second leg of our own adventure. The schedule for today was fairly laid back I’d say. You had the option to join the guides to Lazar Equestrian Park to … More Hungry for Hungary
Day 1 We are docked just on the outskirts of Vienna’s city centre. Our late start to the morning allowed us for a lie in and a bit of a break from our previous early morning start times.

Still drying off from my damp day in Salzburg, today we were arriving in Melk. Located in lower Austria, this little town is most known for Melk Abbey. We were heading there this morning after breakfast for a tour of the Abbey. We were told it was not to be missed. Our guides were right! … More Melk and Krems
Today I am waking up in Linz, Austria. An early start to the day means we’ve got plenty of things to see and do today! Of the options provided to us, we chose to discover the salt mine just outside of Salzburg followed by a lunch. The other option, for those who are Sound of … More ‘White Gold’ Digger

Day 5… Today we make our way from Dingle to our final city of our PaddyWagon Tour. We’re all feeling a bit sad that it’s coming to an end.

It was a much appreciated late start to the morning. Boy, did we need it! Let’s just say the party capital of Ireland did not disappoint.

Another early start to the day, but it’s another exciting day ahead of us. Today we make our way to the party city of Ireland: Galway.

My day started early at 8am. Sandra and I decided to skip a shower because of the unsightly washrooms at Paddy’s Palace. I don’t have a problem with hostel washrooms, but when you can’t be sure if it’s mould or limescale build up, there’s a problem. So having decided it wasn’t worth the risk, we … More Day 1: Dublin to Derry
