The good thing about picking up a cheap flight is that sometimes you end up somewhere very pleasant. Rzeszow, I think, was pretty much one of those places. This small city is not really on the tourist trail and after Krakow it was night to be away from the maddening crowds. Our journey from Krakow to Rzeszow, a distance of just over one hundred miles, look nearly four hours by train. There were a number of long stops en-route as a result of the complete route mod...

The Cheeky Boys trip for late 2015 saw us visiting Poland with a Ryanair flight from East Midlands Airport to Krakow. Well Krakow was where we expected to land but because of heavy fog we were diverted to Lodz – a three and a half hour journey by coach from our intended destination.

It has been well over ten years since we last visited Singapore and having had our time here on this trip it will be a much shorter timescale before we come back to the 'Lion City' again. It has been a great visit on all counts and there is still much more for us to see and do! The key reason for being in Singapore this weekend was to see the Formula One Grand Prix which takes place on the floodlit streets of the city. Singapore first hosted the 'night race' in 2...
